Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })John Robert "Joe" Cocker, OBE (20 May 1944 – 22 December 2014) was a Blues Rock singer, sometimes identified as a British R&B singer. He was most famous for singing in a raspy voice that can reach Large Ham levels for some, but felt passionate at the same time. He was known for his eccentric performance style, making bizarre hand movements on stage. His first hit was "With A Little Help From My Friends" (1968), a cover from The Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967). He was also one of the more memorable performers at the Woodstock festival in 1969. Over the years he recorded many albums, of which Mad Dogs and Englishmen is the most well known, and hits such as "You Can Leave Your Hat On" (1972), "You Are So Beautiful To Me" (1982) and "Up Where We Belong" (1983). Cocker was predominantly known as a cover artist and a live performer, as he didn't record much material of his own.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Popular culture knows him especially for the use of "Up Where We Belong" as the Bridal Carry scene in An Officer and a Gentleman (1982), the striptease during "You Can Leave Your Hat On" in 9½ Weeks (1986), "Love Lives On" (written for Harry and the Hendersons (1987)) and "With A Little Help From My Friends", which was used as the theme song of The Wonder Years.Albums With a Little Help from My Friends (1968) Mad Dogs and Englishmen (1970) | |

Pop-Cultural Osmosis | |
| Joe Cocker (Music) / int_19bec249 | comment |
Pop-Cultural Osmosis: His cover of "With A Little Help From My Friends" has become more famous and popular than the Beatles original. For fans of The Wonder Years the song has become closely associated with the theme song from that series. "You Can Leave Your Hat On" has become the Standard Snippet for every striptease scene. | |

The Cover Changes the Meaning | |
| Joe Cocker (Music) / int_3f1f6c04 | comment |
The Cover Changes the Meaning and Creator-Preferred Adaptation: After his version of "With a Little Help from My Friends" changed the line "what would you think if I sang out of tune" to "what would you do if I sang out of tune", even Ringo Starr started using the modified lyrics. | |

| Joe Cocker (Music) / int_5d25f366 | comment |
You Can Leave Your Hat On: His cover of Randy Newman's "You Can Leave Your Hat On" being used for a striptease scene in the film 9½ Weeks has a lot to do with making that song the Trope Namer. | |

Briefer Than They Think | |
| Joe Cocker (Music) / int_fd189d07 | comment |
Briefer Than They Think: The Grease Band have been ranked as one of the top British soul bands of the 1960s, and are famous for backing Cocker (e.g. at Woodstock) to the point where they are remembered almost exclusively for being his group... but they only played with him for about three years on two albums, before splitting up because Cocker, at the time, was reluctant to keep touring. When the singer decided to return to the road in 1970, it was with Leon Russell and the Mad Dogs and Englishmen ensemble at his back. | |
