Learning that you can sing Coleridge’s Kubla Khan to Nena’s 99 Luftballons CHANGES EVERYTHING

Who knew that Coleridge’s Kubla Khan fitted so perfectly to Nena’s 99 Luftballons?

(AKA 99 RED Balloons for the English version.)

As comedy writer Cameron Loxdale has worked out:

And there’s three more if you want to try singing these:

1.
“Emily Dickinson’s “Because I Could Not Stop For Death” can be sung to the tune of the theme from Gilligan’s Island. You’re welcome :p” says @Shutter_j.

2.
“The first line or so of Paradise Lost fits the Flintstones theme.
‘Of man’s disobedience and the fruit of the forbidden tree'” writes @Alexiterick.
