Didn't expect this to inspire the first post but the Aussie national anthem, Advance Australia Fair, has words that can be sung to a whole stack of other melodies.
For instance, Adam Hills, who inspired this search, has this post on YouTube of him singing Advance Australia Fair to Barnsey's (Jimmy Barnes) tune Working Class Man.
Since then, I've heard, and found, that Advance Austraia Fair can be sung along to the tunes of:
- The theme from The Beverley Hillbillies.
- The theme from Gilligan's Island - BTW will Gilligan ever get off that island? No. Never. According this excellent article by Clay Shirkey! Whose new book (Amazon link) (Amazon UK link), that expands on the theme in this article, should be compulsory reading for everyone who works in this zoo we call IT, development, software development, yadda-yadda! VBG! (To quote Lenny). IMHO natch.
- The Beach Boys/Chuck Berry song "Surfing USA" - Hmmm. When will they release "Chuck Berry's Golden Decade" on CD/MP3/etc.
- The theme from The Monkees.
- The John Paul Young song Love is in the Air.
Anyone have any other tunes that they know of?
cheers,
Rob

We are being "forced" into recession and even being THREATENED with DEPRESSION, here in the USA. Its quite amazing actually.
The media SAYS there is a credit crunch, and so there suddenly is a credit crunch.
Buffoons tell us that there are major problems, the same ones that said that there were NO problems only 8, 4, even 2 months ago..... and so there must be problems.
The solution to these problems? A printing press. They are going to PRINT hundreds of BILLIONS of US Dollars to "fix" this problem.
And, these same buffoons who didnt see the problem (or ignored it) were either too stupid to see it coming OR to incompetent to KNOW it was happening are going to be the ones in charge of that newly printed BILLIONS?
I really hope you folks in the U.K. realize that the USA is on the verge of another revolution. This time it shall not be TEA that we throw over the boats, but the politicians themselves.
Our nation is NOTHING like our founding fathers created and nothing that they envisioned it would become.
