In their "More Together Again" concert CD, Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger did Elvis Presley's "I Can't Help Falling in Love With You." No, that isn't a folk song, either, but it sure is fun to sing; and it even works well with a group sing-along. Why do we need to be fussy here about whether a song is "folk" or not? If somebody likes it enough to want to sing it, that's good enough, I think.

Nonetheless, I think many of us would benefit from checking alt.music.lyrics every once in a while.
