Yes, this song was written by Nick Lowe, but many more people associate it with Elvis. I was studying James Joyce's Ulysses and made a presentation on one of the episodes (Cyclops, in which Bloom goes into a pub and "Citizen" starts to berate him and chases him out into the street) - before we started our discussion, I played this song as I thought it fit so perfectly. I don't know about Nick, but I bet that Elvis is very familiar with Joyce.
