Re: spider, etc. familiar tunes

[Casey Chisick <chisickc...>]

A former teacher once encouraged me to recite the Shabbat Kedusha to the
tune of Erev Shel Shoshanim.  Somehow, it didn't sit right with me, even
at the tender age of 16, and I resisted.  But I can't turn my back on my
childhood memories of singing Adon Olam to the tune of, among others,
the theme from "Jeopardy".
