Omg I can't believe this blog exists I'm so happy I love filk music so much but I kinda thought I was alone and omfg thank you so much for existing On a side note have you posted/could you post Confusions from Lovers, Lore and Loss? I used to have it but after moving and a couple computer crashes I can't find it anywhere!

YOU’RE NOT ALONE, THERE ARE LIKE A WHOLE SIX OF US

unfortunately, I don’t have that album, and I haven’t been able to find it

however, there are a few people following me that have been filking a lot longer than I have and have much more impressive music stashes, and I’m hoping one of them will see this and be able to help

I raised my head, my arms like lead, my heart ablaze once more
The fairy queen looked down at me, shaken to the core
“I’ve played for many centuries, but by the stars above,
You’ve taught me skill is not enough, it can’t compare to love!”

Hello, and happy 1 am! I just finished this after a about a week of work (maybe subtract a day or two). If you don’t know what this is about, it’s Faerie Queen by Heather Alexander! (It’s a super awesome song.) Enjoy!

oh god

I can think of a couple of ways this could go

either you play CAH normally but every round somebody has to find or improvise a song based on the winning card, or

“WE’RE BANNED FROM ARGO EVERYONE, BANNED FROM ARGO JUST FOR _____.”

(winning card: “Another fucking rendition of ‘Banned From Argo’.”

ahahahahaha oh god the urge to make up more cards

this could be so very terrible

… are you by any chance coming to OVFF this year

other cards: “requesting ‘horse tamer’s daughter’ after somebody just finished singing ‘ice and fire’”

“the guy who ALWAYS sings (for a given definition of the word) ‘tomorrow i leave for battle’”

“trying to sing ‘wanderlust’ after your voice already died”

“march of cambreadth at 1AM”

“post-apocalyptic leslie fish”

(…oh god I just imagined leslie fish in Mad Max Fury Road and my brain is broken)

If I ever write a Mad Max Fury Road fic, there’s an excellent chance that Leslie fish is getting tuckerized as one of the Vuvalini.

The anti-Doof Warrior. (With black powder and alcohol.)

but anyway, Filkers Against Humanity.

*already editing*

“another filk of that same Billy Joel tune”
“settling for a word that sort of rhymes”
“Weird Al Yankovic”

this is extremely important
