[Robert Cohen <rlcm17...>]

There have been, to my knowledge, two English-language contrafacta--pop 
songs in English--written and recorded to the tune of Hava Nagilah.  (Not

anyone's interested--not sure if this counts.  And the original poster never 
answered me or the list re why they wanted this list to begin w/.  Fun 
anyway.
