My favorite example is that Jon Boden took Feste's song from Twelfth Night, "The Wind and the Rain", completely re-wrote it, added new verses, deleted others, new title ("The Rain it Rains"), and gave it a brand new (very nice) tune-- all confirmed by him in email correspondence. The other night, someone in a local group sang it, completely unaware of the Shakespearean origin.
