.. Stewart just makes a silly face and doesn't have to say anything as the audience chortles.
Because to American ears that sounds really funny, awkward, embarrassing.

Btw.. if he wanted to double-up the gag he could say something like "and they still keep trying Elvis...."
- cut to Aiden trying to do 'Elvis curls' at the end of lyrics-
Audience giggles with laughter.

No 'punchline' is needed because its obvious to American ears how bad and wrong it sounds. How funny the 'english accent' is trying to do those Elvis sounds but its all wrong.

But to British people Cher-Ls 'rapping' sounds good or 'close enough' or they think Aiden does have a really good 'Elvis' or '50s' thing he does lol
