in search of new zemiros tunes

[moufwash]

I'm looking for new non standard tunes for zemiros. For example i really like the dror yikra sang to simon and garfunkels scarborough fair (if you're interested i found someone has it up on youtube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea1m-HDZ6xM). I would really like to find more zemiros that have good tunes put to them. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

ask people from different traditions I.e. sfardi , chassidish to teach u some tunes they sing. It can add spice and diversity to ur table

Unless they are ancient non-Jewish tunes

Wow - I only have so much time on a Friday Afternoon:

I get why some people don't appreciate non-jewish songs being used for zmiros/davening - I just consider it being ma'alin b'kodesh

- In that Vein Dror Yikra to Sloop John B - https://youtu.be/nYBgkpv5fXs?t=227
- More traditionally Dror Yikra in the classic sefardi version - https://youtu.be/r4B6yL3LH7c

Can't find them on youtube/interwebs with limited time, but a lot of the classic choirs have zemiros out there - I often use Tzlil V'zemer (I think)'s Rachem B'Chasdecha as part of a 'Tzor Mishelo' medley. My wife loves the MBC Menucha V'Simcha

You mean like 'Ha'aderes v'Haemunah' on Shabbos morning to the tune of Les' Marsellies?

I recently heard a shiur from Rav Avigdor Miller Zt"l and he said that taking a non Jewish tune and using it for a Jewish words is like taking a goy and being m'gaayer him

taking a goy and being m'gaayer him

good or bad?

Seemed like he didn't have a problem with it

What about taking Jewish words and using them for a goyishe song?

Is that like shmad'ing them?
