British singer Joe Cocker was little known in the United States when he performed at Woodstock in August of 1969. His arrangement of the Beatles' "With A Little Help From My Friends" launched him into legend. He did, of course, significantly change the lyrics.

These never fail to crack me up!
One of my favorite SNL moments was Rachel Welch singing that and belushi comes out behind her and starts doing his Cocker impression. Didn't even phase her, she kept on singing and he was wriggling around on the ground...
Strange delivery, for sure . . .
