Oh, there's a lot of people who do that. Usually it's in the form of mashing the lyrics into a different song ("Call Me Maybe" to the tune of "Head Like A Hole" is one of my personal favorites), but this happens too.

When I'm especially bored, I start riffling through things that scan to the theme to Gilligan's Island and jumping songs from line to line.
