Thursday evening, Elton John paid tribute to Michael Jackson at his annual White Tie and Tiara ball, dedicating his song "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" to the dead pop star.
Few people know that Jackson was working on his own version of Elton's classic, tentatively titled "Please Let Your Son Go Down on Me."
At the ball, John also dedicated "Candle in the Wind" to Jackson, a song originally written about Marilyn Monroe then retooled for Princess Diana. Rumor has it that Sir John is working on a web-based funeral ballad generator, which fans could use to plug in a dead pal's vital statistics and emerge with a ready-made eulogy in song. Of course, Elton would receive a royalty for every performance. For an undisclosed fee, Elton will show up at a funeral and throw himself on the coffin. Photos, of course, cost extra.Elton remains undecided as to which song he will perform at Michael Jackson's funeral, where he expects a spectacular turnout. He is reportedly working on finishing Jackson's version of "Please Let Your Son Go Down on Me" though he is also said to be combing his thesaurus to find a word for pedophile that rhymes with candle.

What a great post. You definitely got all the parts down pat. I totally loved it.
Thanks, I decided to take your advice and claim the joke.
A friend on Facebook just reminded me I made up that version of the Elton John song back in the early 90's.
There's a whole verse but some of it would have to be updated now. I remember crooning it to many friends back in the day.
I guess I haven't changed.
Too...too much. I'm not worthy to read this post! I'll print out and tack this post to the candlelit altar in my closet dedicated to your blog!
Okay, the title of this one had me laughing out loud. But "Please let your son go down on me"? Very very funny, shame on you, but hilarious.
@Herman: You have an altar? I'm so flattered! Wait, that doesn't mean I have to die soon, does it?
@Chris: Here's a taste of the rest of the song. "...cuz when I touch myself,it's his little face I see..." Yes, shame on me indeed.

He might be a funeral whore, but Sir Elton has won you an award over at our pad. Swing on by and soak up the love. Umm... like a candle in the wind?
@PhilipDyer: Finally, Sir Elton has done something for me, and I'm not even dead yet.
I'm on my way to collect my award. And may I suggest another tune from Elton's repertoire to use at Jacko's service--Brown Dirt Cowboy?
