When I was in high school, I read an edition of PKD's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? that had a foreword where the author (I forget who) mentioned that he couldn't read the book's title without singing it in his head to the tune of "Greensleeves."
In a similar vein, I always sing Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination (originally known as Tiger! Tiger!) to the tune of the Pixies' "Wave of Mutilation."
Oh the stars my destination,
Stars my destination,
Stars my destination,
Staaaaa-a-aaaaa-a-aaaaars.
Staaaaa-a-aaaaa-a-aaaaars.
Um, does anybody else put the titles of science fiction novels to the tune of random songs?
