But, if one of them is "Candle in the Wind", I'd say that song has two strikes against it for me... first, the Princess Diana remake got overplayed to absolute death.. but more importantly, my old singer passed away back in 2009 from diabetes.. we had been friends and bandmates for 18 years.. whenever we were on the road, we'd always find some little karaoke joint, and that was "his" song.. he always nailed it, and it was always fun to watch people being blown away by a scary-looking, professional metal singer doing such an iconic "mellow rock" song, and doing it better than even the original.. of course, it was played at his memorial.. still kinda hard to hear 4 years later.
