I kid you not. According to the latest issue of NME, Elton John is planning
to sing a cover of the immortal Rammstein anthem 'Du Hast'.
Is there any way the fans can get some kind of legal injunction?

In related news, entertainer Bobby Darin is planning an irreverent cover
of the beloved French chanson, "La Mer."

Did you ever hear the late, great Allan Sherman's satiric version of
Alouette?

Not that I remember, but a copy of "My Son, The Folk Singer" was part of
my childhood lp collection.

I'd have to check, but I thik Allan Sherman's version - called "Al and
Yetta", was on that record. If not, it was on one of his other albums.
One of his rareest, which I'm trying to find, is his performance of
Peter and the Wolf with Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops. He was one
of the guest soloists with the Pops, and the album is called,
naturally, "Peter and the Comissar".

To get back to old Reg Dwight...he has a right to cover any song that
has been released commercially by anyone. It's called compulsory
licensure. Rammstein fans are within their right to consider him an old
queefy-ass and to not buy his recordings. That's it.

Elton John had always been my least favorite vocalist. Although I like the
tune and melody with most of his love songs, there's something phony
about the way he sing his words, always trying to sound manly 'cause
maybe he wants guys and girls to know he's talking. The kind that like to
express themselves in your face -- so listen well and don't forget this is
important.
Something is wrong.

Well, I think that's the heart of the matter. How does one sing a song
heartlessly.

Okey.
By singing in a purely musical sense heartlessly.
By "going through the motions" heartlessly.
