When we first moved to the Bay Area we were staying in a shitty cheap hotel room, and one night right after graduation there was a party raging in the next room all night, when we both had to get up for work in the morning. Someone was playing an acoustic guitar and leading them in song in a most annoying fashion, when my annoyance turned to amusement: He started singing Freebird like so: "If I die in a plane crash, would you still remember me?"
