Songs so difficult that they should only be done once

In summary, this thread is not intended for discussing favorite or best songs, but rather for those songs that are so difficult to sing that most performers should not attempt them. This can be due to technical reasons, such as vocal range, or because the original performance was so iconic that it would be nearly impossible for anyone else to match the same level of emotion and soul. Examples of such songs include "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" by Roberta Flack and "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. It's important to distinguish between songs that are difficult to sing due to technical reasons and those that have been made famous by a remarkable performance, as attempting to sing the latter can often fall short of expectations.

Few of my favorites: fzaCOFlcErw, HPHfbZcNl6U, i-7NVnLLeRw and ePNUSmH3dMI.

I'm never going to get comfortable with the Polish language.

I cannot tell if this can done again and again but it does seem to be in that category:

Melanie, absolutely! I would have listed it myself ten times over...EXCEPT...there's a girl I know here in Winnipeg who totally pulled it off a couple of years ago in a coffee house. I guess the exception proves the rule in this case.

The song "Lovin' you" is one of the most difficult to sing song that I have heard, especially on the last part of the chorus..
