I put my mark on almost everything I do as special music, and no one expects me to play anything straight by the book, but I agree if you want the whole crowd to sing along there are limits on how far you can take it.

You can get away with swinging up the beat to a certian extent, and can also get away with some fresh sounding chord substitutions, but the cadence of the phrasing and the melody itself sort of needs to be preserved or you will start losing people.
