For a while my synagogue was using "Edelweiss" melody for L'Chad Dodi. It
drove me crazy. If I hadn't already hated the tune I would have learned to.

There is a comic, Emil Cohen., who talks about singing Adon Olom to the
HAbanera from Carmen.

I think I have a recording of the 'Bismark' song and I will check it to see
if it is similar to the "Alenyu' that I assume is the one that is being
discussed.
