"
There's a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis" was
Kirsty MacColl's first hit single, charting in the UK at #14 in 1981, and remaining in the charts for nine weeks. It reached #9 in the Irish charts. A promotional version was released in the USA which referenced a
truck stop as opposed to the very British
chip shop, but this was only available to DJs and did not get a full release.
