It's one of his iconic sayings kept alive by thousands of Elvis impersonators. I loved Elvis when I was young and I still do. (We recently went to the funeral of my husband's 94 y/o aunt, and after all the religious songs and the eulogy, the family gave her final send off to one of her favorite Elvis songs. I loved it.)
I realized it was Elvis pretty quickly, but I also heard Han Solo in my head in Empire Strikes Back when C-3PO walked in on Han kissing Leia and tells Han he's isolated the reverse powerflux cuplink. As Leia slips away Han says "Thank you...thank you very much!" In a sarcastic voice. I put Han Solo as a joke, but then put Elvis...however I can understand why people are upset at the vagueness of that question.
People of my generation probably remember them because of all the publicity surrounding celebrities insuring various parts of their bodies with the company - Jimmy Durante's nose, Betty Grable's legs, Keith Richards' hands, Dolly Parton's...you get the picture. It became the rage for publicists to claim that their clients "notable features" were insured by Lloyds of London.
I owe my awareness of Lloyd's of London to political satirist Tom Lehrer. In his song "We Will All Go Together When We Go" (lauding the wonders of mutual nuclear annihilation), one stanza goes...
I grew up watching him live on TV and he nearly always said "Thank you very much". I saw at least one performance where he said, "Thank you, thank you very much." You can find it on Youtube. As I stated previously, it was one of his iconic sayings said in his own unique way, now often repeated by Elvis impersonators.
I get that apparently, for many people, it's an iconic Elvis saying, but it's weird. It's like asking "who ate salt" - well, a great many people, at some time or another!
I found the Elvis one too generic. Maybe ask which musician said it. Or who famously always said it. Otherwise, the answer can be almost anyone and everyone.
I read famous documentary, instead of famous document and typed Attenborough.. (as i read the words i, could totally hear his voice. "In the course of human events..." "there comes a time.."
I beleive that the question about Elvis needs a rewrding. At first my mind automatically jumped to Johnny Cash, and yes he did say, "Thank you, thank you very much", which was all the question specifies, heck I've even said that line. It just doesn't give enough specifics to narrow down the answer to one person.
Would it be possible to accept 99 (and possibly 98) for the body temperature question? The commonly known 98.6 F comes from people converting the 37 from Celsius and then applying too many significant figures to the answer.
Idk in other parts of the world, but I learnt in school the avg human temperature is 36,5ºC, not 37ºC.
You don't say you've got fever unless you are over 38ºC and I've met people with an avg of 37ºC or even a bit above that; but the most common is 36,5ºC (in my experience at least and so I've been taught).
We will all go together when we go
All suffused with an incandescent glow
No one will have the endurance
To collect on their insurance
Lloyd's of London will be loaded when they go

Probably everybody has. Why single out Presley, and can you prove that he said so?
My birthday. Which explains how often my bday dinner was turkey (whether I wanted it or not).
France: "the lion dies tonight"
It should be enthusiastic* no?
