Attaching new lyrics to existing tunes, usually the pop tunes of the day, has been a accepted practice for centuries. Actually I think we discussed this in an early thread. Woody Guthrie did this with many of his lyrics. Look at many of Ewan Macolls songs. They are usually listed as Words: Ewan Macoll, Tune: Trad. There is nothing wrong with this process and if anyone asked me if this created legitamate songs I'd say "Yes!"
