Okay, this one's a bit out of left field, but hear me out: "Stark Raving Love" is the perfect choice for a redo/reinvention. Justification, ahoy!
  • It wasn't favored with the most memorable production or arrangement the first time around (aside from the prominent melodic motif that was reused in the original version of "Hero"... okay, and Davey Johnstone's multiple guitar finale)
  • As a consequence, it doesn't get nearly as much attention as other Jim songs
  • The two points above, combined, would theoretically allow one to really put their own stamp on it without having to fight an uphill battle against people's fond memories of the original song or a particular arrangement of it

In fact, "Stark Raving Love" is so underrated that many Jim fans don't even consider it a favorite. It's the perfect opportunity to tilt perceptions of the song on their heads and really turn the beat around. (Hehe... see why I did there? You like it, don't lie.)
