Parody lyrics
- Though Firing Line was the first filk song I started, Vicious And Cruel was the first I completed. Like, how long could it possibly have taken?
- For some of us, Babylon 5 was almost a religion...not least because of all the foreshadowing. But foreshadowing of everything, including Shadows, had to be some kind of joke, right? Farther Along - B5 Edition
- It's My First Filk At Sally's: in which our hero learns that the only way to get some lines out of his head is to force them into other people's heads.
- I read Bob Kanefsky's notes on parody from Torcon 3. He says parodies can be serious. This one is...and LotR too. Those Days
- Strange Pussycat Minds is based on a wonderful song by Rob Balder and Tom Smith. After hearing Rob perform it Friday night at OVFF, 2005, I just had to do something with it. It seemed to me that my cats were the ones with the richest fantasy lives.
- After practicing this tune over and over in preparation for FKO 2006, I decided to re-cycle it into something that would remind me of that convention. A Song At The End Of 'Dead Penguin' came from that.
- The Things We Learn From Spam was a quick inspiration one morning after cleaning the normal load of junk out of my email inbox.
- I Don't Want To Watch "House" was written in a moment of clarity when I realized that there are enough maladjusted people in real life without wasting time on an imaginary one.
- Life During Con Times is one I'd been wanting to do ever since my first filk con car pool.
- Mice Ruined Terra combines Douglas Adams with total disrespect for a song that takes itself far too seriously.
- Ouroboros was another quick song, written to externalize a song worm.
- Pain, Death, and Mutilation came about when I sang a serious, semi-ose song at a house filk and everyone kept waiting for the punch line.
- Public Transportation was inspired by a line in a comment of a friend's LiveJournal. I was given permission to paraphrase to something I could put into song.
- Time Does Betray parodies a song that was popular in the late-60s, while explaining what happened next in the story of Merlin vs. the shopping mall.
