Well known tunes/crowd pleasers that flow well in clawhammer?

 I am a big fan of old time music but lately I also like just playing around on my banjo and seeing which well known tunes might work well in clawhammer style. A couple of days ago I learned the tune "Once Upon a Dream" from Disney's Sleeping Beauty as a crowd pleaser, which I found worked out in clawhammer style extremely easily.  It's a simple version and still a work in progress but for the sake of this thread I've uploaded it to my homepage.

 Just wondering which songs others have found to flow well in clawhammer style? I really like Mike Iverson's version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on youtube and would love to see a tab for it on Mike's site. Are you out there Mike ? :P

 So, which non old-time/folk songs do you all play?  I think it would be cool if people could post their versions of non-traditional songs they play on their banjos so we can get an idea of how they sound.
