Elvis Presley is to co-star in an advert with Dolly Parton.

The late legend has been paired up with the 'Nine To Five' actress in a commercial promoting their home state of Tennessee.

The icons - who as well as starring in a host of hit movies have notched up 43 number one records between them - will be shown driving together in a red convertible through computer wizardry.

The scene, which is taken from Presley's 1967 movie 'Clambake', sees original actress Shelly Fabares replaced by the busty star.

In the advert, Parton says: "I've played a lot of stages over the years, but there's one I never get tired of, that's set for a great time day or night - Tennessee."

The state's governor, Phil Bredesen, said: "The idea behind the commercial is to bring together two international stars that symbolize Tennessee's unparalleled musical history. The commercial is a positive, energetic and unforgettable celebration of Tennessee's past, present and future."
