Swapping the Groove: 14 Music Legends That Exist in a Parallel Universe (7 of 8)

Elvira Presley — The Rockabilly Queen of Bacon

While her suggestive hip-swiveling moves might have outraged network censors, Elvira Presley’s teenage fans couldn’t get enough of it. Some of her top hits included “Heartbreak Airbnb,” “Bichon Frise,” and “You’re Way Too Nice.” As she became increasingly famous, she became addicted to drugs and gained a ton of weight thanks to an exclusive diet of fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. She died in 1978 as a result of chronic constipation.

Mario Monroe — The Platinum Charmer Heartthrob

Mario Monroe, a charismatic figure with azure eyes and a chiseled physique, would be the embodiment of the American Dream in a pair of sharply tailored suits. With a swoon-worthy baritone voice, he’d make “Cigars are a Man’s Best Friend” an iconic tune for generations to come, forever changing the landscape of classic pop. Known for romancing the Hollywood elite — starlets like Audrey Hepburn — he’d still have a heart of gold beneath his glamorous façade, painting a picture of a heartthrob with a desire for monogamy. This paradox of a man would both captivate and confuse the public, shrouded in controversy due to his flamboyant persona and extravagant lifestyle. From the Hollywood Hills to the glitzy Vegas strip, Mario’s lifestyle would be one of glitz, glamor, and constant intrigue.
