 For space is wide and good friends are too fewWhat is filk? Hard question. Easy answer: the folk music of the science fiction fandom. Thing is, it doesn't always sound like folk music, and it's not even close to all about science fiction. We've got singers and rappers, guitarists and accordion players, keyboardists and bodhran-wielders. We'll take sad songs about space and ballads from the back pages of Mercedes Lackey novels, songs that are strings of innuendo based on Star Trek, songs about gaming, politics, Shakespeare, Kipling, cats, escapism. Songs to the tune of one song, referencing three more songs, making jokes about a sci-fi convention that happened back in the 60's and speculating about the furture of space travel. It's music fit for Dothraki; it takes what it likes and goes where it will--but it has also become the bardic historian of fandom, and it's one of the most inclusive and accepting musical traditions of Western civilization. We want you, your three banjo chords, and your truth. And by "truth," I mean excess emotions about comic books. This blog aims to educate the uninitiated, bring new music to enthusiasts, and promote anyone who wants to be promoted. Show

they do roll, And the distant stars they glow And we poor Ensigns are running round the ship While civilians they lie down below (below, below) While civilians they lie down below Up spoke Number One of the Enterprise And he was a handsome bearded man He straddled a chair with his very long legs And said, “Captain do we have a plan?" Chorus Up spoke the Captain of the
Enterprise
And a well-spoken man was he "I don’t want to tangle with the Romulans, I would rather drink my hot Earl Grey tea!" Chorus Up spoke the doctor of the Enterprise She was a strong willed woman in blue She said, "Captain come on, you have to run this ship All the crew is depending on you!" Chorus Up spoke Lt. Commander of the Enterprise And a curious android was he "Can someone please explain why this Romulan ship Has decided to break the treaty?" Chorus Up spoke the pilot of the Enterprise And a nerdy little genius was he He said, "I think that we should…" "Shut up Wesley!!" Chorus Up spoke the engineer of the Enterprise And his visor was really high-tech "I hope that this conflict doesn’t take that long I’ve a date waiting on the holodeck." Chorus Up spoke the counselor of the Enterprise And a very pretty empath was she "There’s a Romulan vessel outside of this ship And I sense the Romulans are angry" Chorus Up spoke Security on the Enterprise And a very moody Klingon was he He said– "Klingons do not sing space shanties." Chorus X2 To the tune of Metro Train Melbourne’s
“Dumb Ways to Die” — Stop for pictures at the top of the stairs, Try to lick all of the vendor wares Rush a panel room when you’re told to wait, Tell a Xenomorph you wanna procreate Chorus: Dumb ways to con, So many dumb ways to con, Dumb ways to co-o-on, So many dumb ways to con Keep a Tribble as a pet, Sell a vial of Chris Evans’ sweat, Enter the
Pokemon tourny with all bidoof, Do a barrel roll off the hotel roof Chorus Challenge a Wookiee to a fight, Smoke a cigarette and set your wig alight Go to the LARP with a sharpened sword Throw some chimichangas at a Deadpool horde Chorus Yell spoilers at the Game of Thrones shoot, Tell an Alucard his Carmen Sandiego’s cute, Go to the rave when you’re feeling faint Hug somebody while in unsealed body paint Chorus Agree to a group skit without committing… Watch all of Evangelion in one sitting… Go all weekend without taking a shower, Chug energy drinks and just live in the game room Blow your money on swag and forget food’s important, They may not rhyme but they’re quite possibly The dumbest ways to con, The dumbest ways to con, Dumb ways to con-o-oooooonnn… So many dumb So many dumb ways to con…. To the tune of “Jogging” Slytherins are evil That’s what other houses say! But as a Slytherin I aim to change your view today Slytherins aren’t terrible We’re just misunderstood Just because we’re little power-obsessed Doesn’t mean we can’t be good Chorus: Oh Slytherin, oh Slytherin They all think you’re bad But a Slytherin will be the Bestest friend you’ve ever had! Slytherins can be so kind They take care of their friends They’ll find for you a meal Cuz you “forgot your lunch again”! They really are the sweetest It just doesn’t always show But don’t ask them where they got that sandwich You don’t want to
know! Chorus Slytherins watch out for you They’ll make sure you’re ok! They’ll tell your ex to [bleep] right off And make them go away! They’ll respect your choices When you want to win or quit And most of the time will manipulate you only a little bit! Chorus A Slytherin will open up If they think you’ll listen You know they care about you If they don’t just hold it in Expressing their emotions Is not their strongest trait Unless, of course, you count the feelings Sad, mad, fear, and hate. Chorus I hope I’ve helped you all to see That Slytherins are fine! You don’t have to reject us You just have to have a spine! Your Slytherin can be bad at knowing Where some boundaries lay That’s why we all need our Hufflepuffs To keep us all at bay! Chorus x2

After months of promising dogofulthar that I’d make him a filk song called “Hey Nosferatu”, I finally got around to it. So here you go, a brand new filk about Nosferatu by someone who knew nothing about Nosferatu (and then went on the wiki page for last minute research). I used chris clark's karaoke version of Hey There Delilah for this. Thanks to them for having a slightly
higher version than usual, eek! Also I apologize for my voice and my lack of breath control. I blame Nosferatu for draining my life essence just before recording. LYRICS: Hey Nosferatu, what’s it like in Transylvania? Hey Nosferatu, don’t you worry about the
distance, Oh, it’s how you’re draining me, Hey Nosferatu, I know times are getting
mean Hey Nosferatu, when she let you have your way Oh, it’s how you’re draining
me, A thousand rats seemed pretty grim Hey Nosferatu, you were evil, now you’re history Oh, it’s how you’re draining
me, “Mermaids and Queers,” our song based on this Tumblr post about asexuals and sirens. How would mermaids lure people of various sexualities? This video has captions and ASL interpretation, thanks to the hard work of Kat Sharp (Sharp Productions) and Judi Miller (interpreter). We recorded this in lockdown for our virtual concert at the 2020 Ohio Valley
Filk Festival. The professionally-recorded version can be found on our third album, Swearing is Caring.

A bit of vampire lore that Anne Rice stole from Bram Stoker (and that Bram Stoker made up), and a song that Jodi Krangle wrote
about the Anne Rice version. Given today’s Dracula Daily of the captain’s log, it seems like a fun day to post it. Could be considered spoilers for Dracula if you don’t already know this bit of lore… |
