Has anyone determined the tune...?

WARNING! Just about (but not quite) to go off-topic!)

Wildean:
> Having read Stephen Fry's autobiography ("Moab is my Washpot" is 
the title)I'd say that he wouldn't sing it at all.
He does mention that there was a particular scene for the comedy 
show "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" which required him to sing, 
specifically in key. He required hypnotherapy to be able to perform 
this one song.>

Yes, but he sings (vaguely) in the film "Peter's Friends", and is 
also prone to exaggeration... 
I have a very particular tune for "Weasley is Our King" in my head, 
and it's somewhere between a football chant and a sort of limbo 
number. I know I haven't made it up, because I'm not that musical. 
(Question to Kathryn and all other footie fans out there - isn't 
there some sort of terrace chant that includes the words "that's why 
the _____s all sing..."?)
 Would limbo really be an appropriately Slytherin form of music? We 
know it must be catchy because Luna and Nick pick up on it. I 
imagine all the Slytherins to be into Wagner, for some reason ;)

To the person who was wondering why it's necessary to have an 
American version of the audiobook - I've wondered this too, 
especially since I found out that Jim Dale is English. Can anyone 
shed any light (probably over on OT Chat)?
