No. Well neither did I until now, and I think they would go something like this. This is your one stop shop for all celebrity death Candle in the Wind re-writes. A long lasting memory to those celebrities who are no longer living.Kevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15030169744415873614noreply@blogger.comBlogger901100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306135.post-53692709594144861332008-06-23T15:24:00.000-07:002008-07-07T17:35:50.859-07:00

Well I full intended to write a CITW Remix for Harvey Korman, but he only did two things of note in his acting career so sorry no CITW. Admittedly his Blazing Saddles and Carol Burnett stuff was pretty damn good but that's about all he did.R.I.P. Harvey

Well young Australian actor Heath Ledger passed away earlier today. I actaully did two different versions of the CITW because until I looked at his imdb I didn't remember he was in Monster's Ball. The original version is about his career I did remember and no I didn't do a bad Brokeback Mountain joke. If you don't get the second version go back and watch Monster's Ball again and you'll know

Former 49ers coach and GM died today. I was, and still to some extent, a big Niners fan back in the day so I watched a lot of the Walsh era 49ers.

Perennial 70's game show paneist Charles Nelson Reilly passed away this weekend. I'm here to admit that I did actually watch a little Match Game this weekend on the Game Show Network. There are really three reasons to watch the reruns 1) The little Gene Rayburn mic 2) the panelists smoking on some episodes 3) that awesom Match Game theme which puts the Jeopardy tune to shame.

Anna Nicole Smith known for not really accomplishing much in life died yesterday. She shot to fame first in Playboy and then for marrying a guy with one foot already in the grave.

Steve Irwin of Animal Planet fame was killed this past weekend. Not as I would have expected he wasn't attacked by a croc but rather a sting ray. From what I've heard of news reports the accident that happened is like a billion to one of it happening. The stinger part of the sting ray nailed him right in the heart, pretty crazy.

James Doohan who is known by sci fi geeks and D&D players around the world passed away today. Doohan was known as "Scotty" the engineer from Star Trek. I was never a fan of the show or the movies but who can't help themselves from doing a "I just can't do it!" like Scotty use to day. Doohan was also not a fan of old Bill Shatner either....seems like no one likes him. Candle light vigil same

George Mikan died today he was the first great player in NBA history really. I actually found some stuff about him today. He was born in Joliet, didn't play basketball in high school, and the NCAA had to change the goal tending rule because of him. I'll always remember those cool specs he wore, Mikan was like MJ before there was an MJ. So lets put on our Army issue eyeglasses for the vigil

Yes folks Green Acres star Eddie Albert is now dead. From reading his obit he did some other stuff but for me his career begins and ends with Green Acres. Actually when I heard of this during the weekend I knew I had to go off the normal CITW and do the Eddie Albert version to the theme song of Green Acres. Mainly because when I heard of this the first thing in my mind was the phrase "Eddie

Well Frank Gorshin from the 60's TV show Batman died today. In case you are a complete moron you know that he played the Riddler. Oddly in his obit it says that his last acting gig was on an episode of CSI that will air, oddly enough, this Thursday. Something seems fishy maybe Grissom needs to investigate his passing away.

No seriously the guy who played Deam Wormer in Animal House died. John Vernon he played in some comedies but from reading his bio he also did some drama He also was in the fine film "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka!" Dean Wormer was one of those roles where the person is defined by that role for the rest of their life. You know every time you see him in something you think "Look there's Dean Wormer."

Good Day, Well our first "C-list" celebrity death in a while. Honestly I didn't even know if Estee Lauder was a real person. As a legal disclaimer here I am in now way positive that the Estee Lauder comapny has ever tested their products on animals. I just rember back in the good college days and PETA having posters showing eyeliner tested on rabbits, my question is why can't a rabbit be a

Well what a way to start a day. Today the one and only J J Jackson is no longer amongst the living. J.J. was on MTV when the channel actually played....videos. Yes that is what the M in MTV stands for "music". Sure the videos weren't the greatest, but they played them that's for sure. Now we can only hope that Alan Hunter, Mark Goodman, Martha Quinn, Adam Curry, Matt Pinfield, Kevin Seals,

Wow two celebs in two days...okay minor celebs but none the less. Robert Pastorelli who played the house painter on Murphy Brown is no longer living. The minor sitcom actors haven't been hit with something this difficult since the death of Wilson from "Home Improvement". Drug paraphenalia was found near the body I'm guessing he was using the "H". Good bye Robert Pastorelli Candice Bergen knew

March 3,2004 Well folks I am not hosting the candlelight vigil for the death of Marge Schott. She was a angry old woman and at one time full owner of the Cincinnati Reds. She said a lot of stupid things in her life and there are a ton of stories of how messed up she was. The dogs pooping on the field before games I've heard on a couple of occassions, two St Bernards on artificial turf in Cinci

Hey there if you are coming on the fine mention of Chris. I am a fellow corporate whore like Chris and did not take the step of faith to move to Dayton like he so boldly did. First off I think the small blurb on the right hand side explains what's going on here. My first and finest effort I believe so far has been the Candle in the Wind remix for Fred Berry and I am also fond of the one for "

Something to think about: I call on a lot of companies that own laminators mostly schools. I called a school today and it was a school for the blind. That brought up the question why would a school for the blind need a laminator? Little Johnny can't see his artwork so why laminate it? Don't look to much into the question just think about it a bit...

Admittedly this was a stretch as a celebrity but Mary-Ellis Bunim passed away on 1/30/04. She was one of the co-creators of a bunch of reality show most famous of them being The Real World. Where seven strangers are picked to live in a house where their lives are tape to see what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real. Yeah I’m a big geek. She is also the founding

Nickname legend Crazy Legs Hirsch passed away on 1/28/04. I only know he use to play in the NFL back in the day and had a cool nickname. Sure its not as good of a nickname as “T-Bone” but its still pretty cool. Goodbye Crazy Legs Didn’t know you, just your name You had the legs run like a fool Rams teams on which you played You ran all over With that helmet on your head Became a hall of famer

Jack Paar the original late night King passed away on 1/27/04. If it weren’t for this guy we wouldn’t have all the late night shows there have been, no Johnny, Dave, or Connan. Yeah I left out Jay on purpose. Rest in Peace Jack… Good bye Jack Paar I didn’t know you too well Thought you were already dead It just happened you bio would tell Original king of late night New York City location

Well another kids icon passed away, on 1/23/04, the one and only Captain Kangaroo. I was a little premature on this song though, I knew he played Clarabell the clown but had already wrote the song before the official death bio came out. I have to keep true to the music so it stands without a Clarabell reference. Future versions will be written after the official bio is out. Say hi to Ray

A big time Chicago icon passed away on 1/21/04, the one and only Ray Rayner. This guy for me was required early morning viewing. The umbrella hat, the Cubs/Sox hat, Ray was cool. Am I the only one who was frightened by Wizzo? I also like this because I could work the Gigglesnort Hotel reference in there. If your not from Chicago and born anytime before I'd say 1975 you may have no idea who

Tug McGraw famous relief pitcher and father of music star Tim McGraw got pulled from the game on 1/6/04. Jason was so moved by the Tugmeister he sent in his version of CITW, and got a nice Ivan Calderon reference in there and questions Tug's parental abilities, nice combo...

Earl Hindman better known as Wilson from Home Improvement passed away on 12/29/03. I think when he got to the gates of heaven his face was partially obstructed by them. By the way I did like Al better than Tim. Goodbye Earl Hindman I bet Tim Allen knew you well You had the grace standing behind that fence What your face looked like I couldn't tell Doling out your advice Some questioning

A Hollywood legend Art Carney passed away on 11/9/03 and I always remeber "The Honeymooners" where they were trying to learn how to golf. I like the Fight Club reference in the song, but I guess I shouldn't be talking about Fight Club...

The next celebrity was Chicago icon Irv Kupcinet. This guy had been on TV and newspapers in Chicago forever. He always knew who was dining at Morton's and from all accounts was not a good tipper. I tied in the big glasses line to another Chicago legend who had huge glasses, Harry Caray. Irv got the call on 11/10/03... Goodbye Irv Kupcinet From Channel 2 I knew you well Gracefully big

The next celebrity to enter the CITW archive was Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers. Yeah like you knew who Bobby Hatfield was when you heard he died. Interesting note on this one I'm such a geek I knew that Will Ferrell's dad was in the Righteous Brothers band. Anyway here is the CITW version for Bobby Hatfield...
