Eee. Isn't it bad enough that half the time, the Hymn to Elbereth goes in my head to the tune of the lonely goatherd song from The Sound of Music?

(Sing along now:

"A Elbereth Gilthoniel
Yodelayee yodelayee yodelay hee-hoo
Silivren penna miriel
Yodelayee yodelayee yodelay...")

Or for that matter, there's the weird form of musical dyslexia which keeps mix'n'matching the lyrics and the tunes among the alphabet song, "Amazing Grace", and "House of the Rising Sun". Though I *think* I've actually heard snippets of a gospel/blues recording of a stunning (and shiftingly harmonic multivoiced a capella) rendition of the second of those in the tune of the third, so at least it's not just me.
