Neo Filk Words by Steven Fox TTTO I Wanna Be Peter Lorre by Tom SmithI've listened to them, when will they listen to me? My range is not as far/ as Ecklar or Kathy Mar. My muse's speed can't keep up with People like Longcor or Tom Smith Bethancourt plays too fast, Cat Faber not enough Frank Hayes has forgotten 3/4's of his stuff. Oh, I look back on to/ a time when every filk was new Some might say they're so Jurassic I prefer to call them classic. When get up, I'm gonna sing "Banned from Argo" I wanna see them cringe at every line I wanna hear that song, and have 'em sing along And if I get booed I'll get back up and then filk one of mine Who needs to hear the latest filkings? Keeping track is always such a pain I'd rather hear more about Pensic #4 I'm gonna get up and sing Banned from Argo and drive em all insane. When I get up, I'll sing "Christmas at Ground Zero" I don't care if they think it's a real filksong "If it's not Scifi then, it's not of Filking ken." There goes Hayes, Smith, Fish, Bethancourt, Faber, and Nyrond. When will people admit it's just music It's not worth having all this strife. Only Scifi is the rule (unless they think it's cool) And when I'm done filking this song I'll tell them "get a life" When I get up, I'll sing Echo's Children's "Brown Bird" You never hear that filking in the ring But then as I recall, it has no words at all In that case give me a sec as I think of something new to sing Filk rings shouldn't be so formal, Be as big a ham as you can be; Sometimes we forget lines, sing off-beat or just don't rhyme The point of filk is to have fun, and not to stay on key.
