I've heard that version of "Tarantella" as well... and I was decidedly unimpressed with boring old Hilaire!
I confess, I'm not familiar enough with either Betjeman or Housman to have picked up on the "Shropshire Lad" thing... I'm rather ambivalent about both poets but then, I'm sure plenty of people are ambivalent about some of my favourites as well
