Filking

I've written a handful of filks, from time to time; a couple of them have even made it onto convention programs. Unfortunately, my musical imagination is mostly primed with rock songs, and filks on that base (it seems to me) tend not to be actually performable, however good they may sound in my head. Also, the potential for disaster is nontrivial. (My attempt to write a filk about Mad Yuri based on "White Rabbit" was probably one of my worst ideas...)

If I were musically creative, I might try composing my own tunes, but that's not a realistic possibility.

Ideas still occasionally crop up, though. This may well have been done before, but I'm tempted to try a riff on McCartney.

"Seelie Love Songs", anyone?
