what about "Greensleeves" a la "What Child Is This?" *g*

Okay, okay, tune only doesn't count, I suppose.

Back in my "born again pagan" days (about three years ago *g*), I found a website of paganized holiday songs. I hate to say it, but most of them were cheesy as hell. I think it's possible to be spiritual without making an utter pillock of oneself. I'm all for adaptation, but only if the new lyrics *don't* surpass the old lyrics in banality. Sigh.
