Music for Memorization

Do you use music to assist with memorization? I am looking for some ideas to help memorize some longer passages of Scripture--any ideas? 

When my kids were younger they used to memorize AWANA verses by setting them to music, and who doesn't remember the books of the Bible by a little tune? 

The US Presidents, the 12 disciples, what else do you remember by a little musical ditty? 

SO---Any ideas of good tunes to set longer Bible passages to? Thanks in advance for your ideas!
