Even the words were not completely correct. Yet no one cared and every one was content with the song. I couldn't do what he did as he can play a song by just hearing it. Maybe not correctly but most people won't know it. He is talented. Everyone has to draw their lines some where.
I have no problem with changing key, tempo, arrangement, and lyrics to suit me. For 3-5 minutes that story is MY story, and I'll tell/sing it to best perform it for ME.

I NEVER copy but I am frequently influenced.
