Lisa Marie Presley would like her ex to treat her father’s legacy as more than a hunka-hunka burnin’ cheese.

In the September issue of Jane magazine, Presley voices her displeasure with ex-husband Michael Jackson’s commercial licensing of some of Elvis Presley’s songs he owns.

“I saw a Velveeta commercial and it was playing, I think ‘Burning Love,’ ” Lisa Marie says. “He had approved it -- that’s something we can’t control. He can do whatever he wants with the songs he owns to make money, and that got under my skin.”

Jackson took heat from Beatles fans in the mid-’80s when, after buying rights to their catalog, licensed the use of “Revolution” for a Nike shoe commercial.
