[@Stratelier]

This could make a great party game, yes? - Pick one set of lyrics and sing it to a different tune - Each person alternates changing either the lyrics or the tune

[@keithlowe1982]

"Ghost riders on Gilligan's Island" My new favorite !!

[@keithlowe1982]

Inna-Godda-De-Gillian maybe close second

[@teamawesomeness7137]

all of these songs can be sung to the tune of the pokemon theme.

[@Alysa-Aiday]

*WHY DOES THAT APPEAR EVERY-FUCKING-WHERE I LOOK?!?!?!? THERE IS NO POKÉMON!!!!!! IT IS DEAD!!!!!!!!!* Live with that

[@sandradermark8463]

The Rains of Castamere. That one was missing... Singing it to the Gilligan's Island theme to myself. Ditto (pun intended) for the first Pokémon opening.

[@ntm4]

A thrEEEEEE-EEE-EE-EE hour tour had me cracking up. Also that last song was just great.

I knew about Amazing Grace, but the rest of these are astounding! Thank you for this compilation.

[@TravelsWithPhil]

I enjoyed doing it

[@Alysa-Aiday]

@@TravelsWithPhil: Based *Solely* on the lyrics, I could almost swear "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" and "Angels We Have Heard on High" were one and the same song.

[@TravelsWithPhil]

@@Alysa-Aiday There are some similarities, but there are some differences, too.

"Ghost Riders in the Sky" is awesome. "In-a-Gadda-da-Vida" ends up sounding like some very early Jethro Tull!

God damn it!! I *KNOW* I saw part of a movie as a child!!! It had a dream sequence where the guy picked up the phone, he heard his voice from the other end of the line, singing "Amazing Grace" to Gillian's Island melody!!!!

[@denisemayosky1955]

I like how "Amazing Grace" just fits it so well!

[@tannermansfield5676]

Ghost riders in the sky amazing grace oh how wish a band would bust off with it 🎉 would be awesome

[@keithlowe1982]

How many / (What) other TV show themes can do this ? Been thinking since seeing this vid ! One that's almost too obvious, Dire Strait "Walk of Life"/ 'Facts of Life' maybe? 'Beverly Hillbillies' / "Ghost Riders" ? Or, how many could you come up with for "Differn't Strokes" ?

[@mollietenpenny4093]

My mom remembers the Amazing Grace one. A girl from her church told her about it!😀 You can also sing Amazing Grace to the Scooby Doo theme song, the Brady Bunch theme song, and the Coca-cola jingle.

[@Alysa-Aiday]

The lyrics of Amazing Grace, to the Brady Bunch, or - *I'd rather spend a year in Soviet Russia!* - Scooby-Doo theme?!?!? Don't spread lies like that!! Just.... don't

Wow! I already knew about the first few but was still surprised by a lot of them (even if a few seemed a bit of a squeeze). I'm especially surprised by how many Christmas songs were on the list. (I think you may have inadvertently come up with the theme for the world's strangest Christmas album.) On a different note, I've always thought that the GI lyrics set to House Of The Rising Sun would be an interesting combo.

You can also take the stanzas of any poem written in common meter and fit it into any song written in common meter. No seriously: just take the first part of Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and sing it the tune of "The Ballad of Gilligan's Island." It fits.

There are a few more famous ones.

@@TravelsWithPhil I bet there are. "Over the River and Through the Woods" works. "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" doesn't work, but I think "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" does. But then you start singing them to each other. I am SO going to sing "Hey Jude" to the tune of "Moonlight Densetsu" at con some day, and of course the other way around. So thank you for this.

[@Femaiden]

in the first half you repeated the same song twice and many of these aren't real songs, just nursery rhymes, plus, you have to draw out the syllables in many of them just to make it fit. I always hated that in songs when a singer draws out a syllable over multiple notes just to make the lyrics fit the music. example, when you did the mickey mouse lyrics, you had to sing " M I C K E E E Y" to make it fit. technically, that's kind of cheating. you can make ANY lyric fit ANY song if you just change the way you sing it so that you draw syllables out over multiple notes. . . with all fairness, some of my favorite music artists are also guilty of this, like King Diamond, but he gets a free pass because well...he's King Diamond. it is still impressive that you took the time to do this. the second half was funnier vsauce brought me here

[@NickF07]

Well, if one artist can do it, all can. You can't be biased against people who do it and yet like someone who does exactly that. And by that measure, you dislike almost every artist, old or modern, because they all do that, it's how you right music.
