Lunchtime Poll: Script Your Own Tribute

1/23/07, 12:54 pm EST

Elton
You are going to die. But before you do, Elton John offers to hook you up with a special tribute. In your honor (and in memory of Diana, of course) he will orchestrate the rewriting of any song by any artist living or dead. You name the song and the singer, and he’ll make sure the lyrics are reworked in your honor, the song is performed at your funeral and then promptly retired. Whose song do you choose and how would the lyrics change?

[Thanks to Jeff for suggesting this poll.]

‘they’ say that women’s brains are wired differently than men’s, and because of this women often involve themselves in fantasy, and i’m beginning to believe…

I don’t want to hear Elton sing any songs for me…

“Empty Garden” by Elton John himself. The only changes in the lyrics will be to remove references to New York and the name “Johnny”.

I would have him do that version of U2’s “One” that the Bank of America guy did.

I’d like to have SRV play “Little Wing” as I descend to my reign in hell. Perfection…

Whoever wants Jimmy Buffet singing should be shot. Do you know what parrotheads really are? They are people who were too pussy to drop acid and go see the dead so they drink wine coolers and drinks with umbrellas in them and follow Buffet. Oh my submission for this would be “gods comic” by Elvis Costello. Everytime in the chorus when he sings “now Im dead” he can sing “now hes dead”.
