A band I was fronting a while ago, in an effort to "Try Something New", decided to do Flower Of Scotland" in a minor key... about half way through my first hearing of it, I totally and forever forgot the 'original' in favour of the new 'matrix'... now when I hear it done 'properly' it sounds cheesy and wrong...

;-)

Another example kinda close to topic...

For an upcoming Christmas mix CD, I'm mixing both the "USA", and the "original" Robbie Burns tune for Auld Lang Syne... doing the verses in the original tune and the chorus in the more populare, more familliar tune... Lemme tell ya... on occasion the breakers in the ol' pate just trip en masse, and I have no recourse but to go lay down for a while...

But at this point it's become a grudge thing... I'm GONNA get it or die trying...
