Chris, do you know the Billy Joel song, "This Night"?

Know it? Heck, I sing that one in the shower sometimes! I have all of Billy's albums I'm pretty sure I've mentioned "This Night" in topics about the "Pathetique" before, as one of the only times a melody from classical music has been used in a popular song and really worked well.

So yours is a clean, if wet, rendition?! What about Eric Carmen's "All By Myself"?

Heh, indeed.

What about Eric Carmen's "All By Myself"?

I have heard it, but it has been a while and I can't really recall what it sounds like right now. In fact, the only Eric Carmen song I can get in my head at the moment is "Make Me Lose Control." That was a pretty good one. It's no Beethoven, of course!
