Pablus, I've corrected that link to the 2nd Marty Robbins version.

As for the laid back way Alfred does it, even though he changes the phrasing it's still pretty obvious where the ACTUAL notes sit.
The trick of early to convey urgency and late to convey relaxed is something that musicians have been doing to songs/tunes from day 1. BUT, alterations by phrasing it differently are different to continuously playing the notes in places they don't sit comfortably or even worse omitting notes completely.

It's all down to good or bad taste and the arbiter of that criteria is "Mr. Joe Soap" [A UK colloquialism for the average person (Joe).]

Now, regarding Mr. perfect, above, there's a compound word I've formulated for the likes, it's "Illegiterate." the two sources should be patently obvious.
