God, I cant take the song serisouly. With Mayer playing it on Chapelle and the fact that it is by poison, I cant not laugh at it.
:D That's why it's a "Good "everybody knows" song"

I found a tab of Blackbird (you kids remember the Beatles?). Learned it in one sitting. Simple stuff but it's fun playing all up and down the fretboard. It's what my daddy used to call a "Chicken-take-her-pants-off" song.

Its not always about if people know the song. If its a good song, you play it well, and people like it then it is going to be good. Sometimes songs that people know arent good because they are overplayed.

I cant take it seriously because of the rediculous sigh at the start of the song.

I think that's the point now. I bust that shit out for a good laugh when everyone's drunk, and everyone knows the whole damn song and they all sing along and have a grand old time. It's just fun and cheesy. Same thing with I Remember You by Skid Row. And since it's practically identical musically, if you know one you know 'em both.
