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!" Mrs Bachmann said.
But Aug. 16 is actually the anniversary of Elvis' death, in 1977, and someone in the crowd shouted back, "He died today!"
Mrs Bachmann didn't respond and launched into her speech.
Mrs Bachmann corrected herself later as she spoke with reporters, noting the date marked Presley's passing, not his birth.
He was born on Jan. 8, 1935.
"As far as we're concerned, he's still alive in our hearts," Mrs Bachmann said.
