Itche, I’m not sure if you mean to argue with me or not. What do you mean by removing the holyness? If he is using the Passuk as his own statement, that is the problem I mentioned. If he is singing the Passuk as a Passuk, the matching of the tune shouldn’t be the cause of the Issur. The problem is using the Torah as your instrument. The example from Shir Hashirim is not for naught. Im Lavan Garti might be a funny choice of Passuk to sing, but you aren’t singing it to your fiance, or even to your landlord. You are singing the Passuk about what Yaakov said to Esav.
