Right again Canada. And if you do happen to meet Simon, don't tell him he looks like Elvis or he's likely to give you an extremely withering look and make a swift exit. And that's if he's in a good mood.

The song was inspired by Simon and a suit he wore for the Perfect Day video. The suit was made out of a very thick (and practically inflexible) material, which made Mr Le Bon walk/move in a rather exaggerated manner - kind of like Elvis' trademark dancing style.

According to legend, Simon was heard to exclaim, "hey man, I'm hallucinatin' Elvis", and a song title was born, The song was written by Nick and Warren at a time when Simon was in the midst of his phase of havin complete writer's block.
