TragicWhiteKnight: Rambling off topic, but another faboo 'Whiter Shade of Pale' version is the King Curtis rendition that opens 'Withnail & I' - great song, great performer and great film: a rare combination.

Personally, it's one of those songs that I don't think suits being sung by a woman (it's very much a guy-guy buddy song to be, but maybe I'm just reading it wrong).
