The Beatles song "Help" slowed waaay down is terrific IMO the lyrics make the slower performance much more meaningful.

I think this slower version is better than the original.

I like to sing and play this song more in line with the slower Neil Diamond version.

The Police's Synchronicity II is fun to play and sing, it slows down easily for me.

I have been working on my own solo guitar arrangement of "Watermelon Man". To solidify the notes in my mind, I am playing at about half tempo in reference to any version that I have heard. The slower tempo sounds more appealing with each practice run (or walk). I might leave it at the slow tempo.
