Joe,
Re: Your thoughts on spontaneous songs vs. the "published" camp songs, I present to you my friend Ryan's camp song morbidity theory, which states that kids learn a song, eventually get bored with it, and then create a version where someone/something dies in it. I've yet to find a camp song yet that doesn't have some version along those lines. Maybe this is where the true origin of the dying girl story came from? :P
