'we must accept it' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'elvis act jazzed up elvis's no 1?' is the wordplay.
'jazzed up' is an anagram indicator.
'elvis's no 1?' becomes 'e' (1st letter of 'elvis').
'elvis'+'act'='elvisact'
'elvisact' anagrammed gives 'cestlavi'.
'cestlavi'+'e'='CEST LA VIE'
