Sing us a song, you’re the Eric Zann
Sing us a song, tonight.
'Cause we’re all in a cult of Dread R’leyh
And you’ve got us feeling some fright.

Also of interest:

You can sing Emily Dickinson to the theme of Gilligan’s Island.

The Carriage held but just Ourselves
And Immortality

@lectroid I remember an episode of Columbus in which one of the potential motives was an Emily Dickenson scholar who’d been told by the victim, “You can sing all of Emily Dickenson’s poetry to the tune of the Yellow Rose of Texas”.

“And he was right!”, wailed the scholar.
