When we were kids, my brothers and I discovered an old song staple sung in our German-language church could be sung to 28 secular, English-language tunes:Bedenke, Mensch, das Ende Bedenke deinem Tod Der Todt kommt oft behende Der heute frisch und roth...
One male adolescent once led the song to the tune of Dang! Now I've gone blank- it's that song about a whiskered billy goat and ends with the line: Coughed up that rag and flagged the train (Somebody had tied up the goat after one escapade too many, and laid him on the train track.)
