What's a CATCHY, UPBEAT SONG/ TUNE that you can change the lyrics to in order to write a SWEET CHANT for?

Is that some kind of pirate church? Try Blackbird from the Beatles with the following lyrics:

Blackbeard drinking in the dead of night,

Take these broken guns and learn to fight,

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

You get the idea.

Oooh! I consistently say this real component everytime "The Passenger" via Iggy Pop comes on. The track is so jangly and assured sounding, yet then the vocals and lyrics sound so indifferent and hopeless. between the main suitable songs ever recorded and purely approximately totally for that reason, a great juxtopposition. And everytime he sings "la la la la la-lalala" it gets me. because of fact this is nevertheless open, i will upload yet another. "actual project" via Bob Marley is particularly stable and sounds very upbeat and cheery even. And in case you probably did no longer particularly pay interest to the words you could no longer be conscious how hopeless it is till the refrain chimes in "properly it kind of sounds like entire destruction, the only answer, There ain't little need, no you could nevertheless stop them now, Ain't little need, no one can stop them now" great track nevertheless.
