RIP Heath Ledger

After giving consideration to Heath Ledger's all-too brief career, I wonder how people will remember him. I have put my speculation into a parody of the greatest heavy metal song of all time, Rainbow's "The Man on the Silver Mountain":

Heath is dead, Heath is dead
It’s tragic, we have said
His star, once high has fallen

Such a bright young career
Over now, shed a tear
But how will we recall him?

He hit it big it’s true
In “Ten Things I Hate About You”
“The Patriot” secured his fame
But only one film will go with his name

He’s the man on the Brokeback Mountain
He’s the man on the Brokeback Mountain

He played gay, he played gay
He showed us it’s ok
To watch man on man boppin

Oscar night, Oscar night
Because Hollywood leans right
Best Actor went to P.S. Hoffman

He played an English knight,
and the Joker in “The Dark Knight,”
But when we all recall his name
He’s a gay cowboy again and again

He’s the man on the Brokeback Mountain
He’s the man on the Brokeback Mountain

In real life he had the hots
For tasty Naomi Watts
Michelle Williams had his kid
But Jake Gyllenhaal’s who we thought he did

He’s the man on the Brokeback Mountain
He’s the man on the Brokeback Mountain

Well, he could take it right from a man

He’s the man on the Brokeback Mountain
He’s the man on the Brokeback Mountain

We won’t remember his list of films
‘cept the one where that man reaches ‘round with his hand
He’s the man on the Brokeback Mountain

His role in “Monsters Ball”
We won’t seem to recall
He’s the man on the mountain
The man on the Brokeback Mountain
He played one of "The Brothers Grimm”
But we’ll only remember him
As the man on the Brokeback Mountain
