MalcolmNathaniel -> Filking - No it's not a strange fetish. (3/21/2014 10:58:53 PM)
Filking is singing songs at a Sci-Fi convention. It usually takes the form of well known songs with changed lyrics. A little like Weird Al, but usually with a Sci-Fi or Fantasy bent. I started thinking about it due to the 10,000 Daleks thread. Some of my favorites: Jonathan Couton: RE: Your Brains With ASL no less. Mikey Mason: She Don't Like Firefly. I literally have the T-Shirt. It's better when he's unplugged. Tom Smith: Five Years. I saw him perform this. Best song about Babylon 5 ever. MC Frontalot: It is Pitch Dark. Nerdcore rap about a text-adventure game no one under thirty has ever even heard of. Anyone else have some recommendations?

Being an owner for the "Black Book of Locksley" I understand filking very well and can do at least 60 verses of the 200+ of "Olde Tyme Religion" from memory. I'm convinced the most filked melody is "Ash Grove". I have a fondness for Joe Bethancort's filk to that tune, "Who needs a crown when I have a knife". Joe Bethancort and Leslie Fish did a lovely CD of SCA filk, "Serious Steel". It contains that lovely song about when the FBI investigated the SCA. http://www.whitetreeaz.com/cd/serious.htm Do you know if the song "A Man Called Jane" really started as a filk as is rumored?
