Help needed identifying a video from 4/5 years ago...

I am trying to identify a video played in UK on MTV/MTV2 circa 4/5 years ago.

The set was a plain stage with red lights in background that may have spelt out the song or artist name. The performance switched between a white male singer and a child, identically dressed in white suites and Elvis posed up. The song was slow in tempo and melodic.

Any ideas?

huh ? Elvis posed up ...what? - in the background Elvis posed...Costello or Presley?

I know Texas did a video where Sharleen Spiteri dressed up as Elvis in front of the red lights/black background thing, but she's not a bloke (though she was dressed up as one). Also, I think it was the black leather Comeback Special era Elvis she was dressed as. Morrissey uses that background as well.

(I think "Elvis posed up" is an adjective, as in "posed in the style of Elvis")

sounds suspiciously like Prince "Musicology" ... except for the stage and the lights and elvis.

sounds like the Nick Cave / Shane Mcgowan duet if your drunk and think shane is a kid and nick is elvis

...maybe not

This was a little more obscure than Texas, Nick Cave or Prince... more yer MTV2 120 Minutes style of video. The grammer was spot on though - the singer was in Elvis style clobber.
