Gilligans' Island and Emily Dickinson
According to http://xkcd.com/788/, Emily Dickinsons' poem, Death can be sung to the tune of Gilligans' Island. I dared not believe it - but here it is!

Funny, I have always sung it to that tune. From the first time I memorized it in 7th grade....

Ah, the joys of poetry written in perfect ballad metre. Apparently this works with almost all of Dickinson's poems and a number of non/traditional tunes.
