Yeah... That's definitely among the lesser (and tackier) tribute songs (and there have been hundreds of songs that have at least mentioned him or are completely about him--I'm not kidding).
My favorite song about Elvis has to be Lisa Marie's Nobody Noticed It--it's heartbreaking and personal. Two of her songs mention her dad (the other being Lights Out). She's also done two duets.

Don't Cry Daddy (duet): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2agB2S9x2Q
In The Ghetto (duet): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWg2vLEyRZc
Anyway...
It's quite striking to me that as far as celebrity deaths go, Elvis' is the one to which all others are measured. And as far as iconic mega-stars go, Elvis is also the one whom all others are measured against. I've noticed him being mentioned constantly in the news these last two days (both for comparison reasons and the Michael/Lisa Marie connection).
