Insert sound of Tom laughing his ass off.
That's one of my all-time favorite skits. It's called "A Message From
The King." by Bob Rivers and can be found on his first Christmas CD
"Twisted Christmas." He has 3 funny Christmas CDs out. The first one
is the best, IMO, but all three are worth picking up.
You also might be able to find it at his web site:

A Message From the King
And now... here with a special Christmas message:
The immortal... Elvis.
Well thank you. Thank you very much. This here is The
King. I know I haven't been around much for awhile, but
I want you all to know that up here in rock and roll
heaven I'll be thinkin' of you this Christmas, and I'd
like to give you all a special Christmas message. A
message of peace... like, uh, how about a little piece of
that pie goin' by. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Like I was sayin', Christmas is a time of hope, a time of
joy, a time for lovin'... and I sure would love a thick
slice of that pizza you got there. Thank you. Thank you
very much.
Now where was I? Oh yeah, Christmas. Now Christmas to
me means family, and family means friends, and friends
means gettin' together, and gettin' together means...
...eatin'. Oh, pass me that drumstick, would you please.
Well thank you. Thank you very much.
And I just want to say to you right now: You know I may
be a big star - maybe too big - but ain't nobody so big
he can't reach out a helpin' hand... a helpin'... a...a
hand... Would you hand me a helpin' of those mashed
taters over there. Would you, please. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Now like I was sayin', ain't nobody so big he can't stoop
to help a friend in need over the holiday season...
...now speakin' of season, you wanna pass me that salt,
Sugar, when you get the chance. Thank you. Yeah,
just...just unscrew the cover. That's right. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
So this Christmas why don't you all take a tip from old
Elvis... now, leave those steak tips right where they are.
You know what I mean? No, I appreciate it. Thank you.
I want you to remember we're all part of God's great big
family, and you know God made man unto his own image...
and I look in the mirror and I'd have to say God must be
a big, big son-of-a-gun. You know what I mean? I think
you do.
But I especially want y'all to remember this one last
thing. When you're all at home this Christmas stringin'
that popcorn up on the tree... save a big, big bowl for
The King. Extra butter. Know what I mean? I think you
do. Thank you. Thank you very much.

An oldie but a goodie, that's the Bob Rivers Comedy Group from the Album
Twisted Christmas. It's the last cut and is called A Message from the King.
Cheers,

Not only was I able to find the specific parody I was looking for, the
Twisted Radio site plugged me into to a whole new group of great
parodies. If you haven't heard it, I highly recommend "Ballot Box
Blues."
Thanks to everyone for your replies and your help.

I haven't heard that one yet, but they have a song up there that I think
is hysterical. It's called "My Mouth's Not Open." It's a parody of
"With Arms Wide Open" by (??) which is about a guy who is thrilled to
find out his wife is pregnant. The parody is about how the singer
mumbles all the words. It's great, but you have to be familiar with the
original to get it.

The Hot Buttered Elves opened up for El-Vez last year at his Merry
MeXmas Philadelphia show.
