Outgrabing your mome raths this weekend?

For absolutely no good reason (or indeed any reason) that I can think of, I realised the other day that 'Jabberwocky' can be sung to a variety of tunes. On the grounds that I don't see why I should be the only person afflicted with this knowledge, herewith the list so far:

The Marselleise; suitably heroic
Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber Alles; suitably majestic
Ode to Joy;
For all the saints;
Jerusalem; Brill!!
Once in Royal David's City;
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing;
In dulce Jubilo;
Bobby Shafto;
The Internationale;
The Red Flag (at last we know what they're singing at the end of the Labour Party conference!)
Greensleeves
Lillibullero
The Campbells are coming
Troika from Lieutenant Kige

Any additions?
