The recently released film, V for Vendetta, staring Natalie Portman, contains the following catchy little lines:

Remember, remember, the fifth of November
Gunpowder treason and plot
I see no reason why Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot...

To some it's only a vague nursery rhyme from their youth, but actually the lines belong to part of a vast collection of historic chants/rhymes and songs either celebrating the Guy Fawkes plot or heavy propaganda glorifying his execution. You can find them all, with multiple variants of the above verse, here.
