SPARTANBURG, S.C.—Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann got her Elvis Presley​ dates all shook up during a campaign stop Tuesday in South Carolina.

The congresswoman from Minnesota played the Elvis tune "Promised Land" at a local restaurant and told the crowd of 300 that she wanted to say happy birthday to the king of rock 'n' roll.

"Before we get started, let's all say happy birthday to Elvis Presley today!" Bachmann said.

But Aug. 16 is the anniversary of Elvis' death, in 1977, and someone in the crowd shouted back, "He died today!"

Bachmann didn't respond and launched into her speech.

13. George H.W. Bush once announced that Sept 7 was "Pearl Harbor Day" in front of an American Legion

crowd. I think he came up with that one on his own. Bachmann likely got her "Elvis birthday" from a staffer.

14. Just lost the "Elvis Vote" . . . . .

Bet she wasn't allowed to listen to Elvis and other "negro" music when she was growing up.

17. Oh she was just being medieval again -

in the early and medieval church, saints' days celebrated the day they were martyred or died as that was their "birthday" in heaven.
