Unfortunately, Candy died of a heart attack. He was 43. So the parody has become a rude, ironic, dark joke. But on the positive side, if Candy is in heaven and if a pastor I know is accurate (The pastor jokes that Heaven is the only place you can eat as much as you want because the calories don't count there.) he's eating a 10,000 calorie diet in a svelt, buff bod, having finally escaped vilification from the fascist thin-culture vultures.
For Memorial Day weekend I have posted a substitute; he has taken up Candy's mantle. And though the performance is not live, nor is Weird Al Yankovic's singing, let your imagination ride the crest of Candy's genius and visualize him doing it, while listening, and viewing the lyrics.
Enjoy: (click for Weird Al's lyrics sung to the music of I'm Bad )
RIP, John Candy.
Have you seen the Candy clip? Do you know where I can locate it?

I don't. I'm guessing you tried You Tube?
Yes. Hoping someone knows where that clip is. Love to get it for my nephew.
