Happens in bagpiping, too. You can play Earl of Mansfield and tell people it was You Should Never Smile At The Crocodile. You can fool 'em until you get to the refrain.

Bard of Armagh/Streets of Laredo I'll refrain from...

Not quite what you're looking at, but The Rattlin' Bog and Oft In the Stilly Night are the very same tune, in different rhythms and speeds.

You could sing WoL to SHA, yeah.

And you can sing the poem Jabberwocky to the hymn tune St. Patrick's Breastplate, with repeats of the last couple of syllables at the end of each verse. And to O Little Town of Bethlehem and to Lledrod. Inter alia, that I really should go to bed rather than try and list. A musical sadist could insist on singing it to Deutschland Uber Alles -- and to Beethoven's Ninth.
