Gordon Lightfoot, "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald"

I badly want Britney Spears to do a remake of this song. Can you even imagine? On some level, I feel like Gordon Lightfoot needs more street cred; but at the same time, I think he's right where he needs to be with his image and music. I don't think a 6+ minute song on a ship sinking is for everyone, nor should it be. But then again, we all sat through "Titanic," didn't we? All I'm asking, Britney, is: Will you think about it?

Whatever the case, enjoy this classic Lightfoot tune--including some historical video for your educational pleasure:
