Oops. You just dated yourself, evcake. Cool

I am very proud to say that not only do I know all the words to every song on the Beatles album "Abbey Road", but quite possibly at least a dozen other Beatles songs, too.

How about Elvis, T'Poptarts? Do you know "GI Blues"? That might make a funny filk.

Gak. I just realized most of the modern music gives me a headache too. Confused I don't think I've ever heard anything by Evanescence... well actually I don't really listen to music anymore because most of it either gives me a headache or just sounds like all the same Confused

Damn I'm picky Razz

Well, I don't like heavy stuff and I think "My Immortal" is lovely... What sort of music do you know/like? That might give us a clue... Very Happy

BTW, I was born less than 30 years ago and I love The Beatles.

Well, duh.
Old standards, anyone? I've Got You Under My Skin (bodyswap!)
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, Misty, ect., ect.?

Elvis? Hound Dog is nice and repatative.

Yeah, but that one fits without making it a filk. That's what I did my Vulkon "skit" to.

How about some Nightwish? Twisted Evil

Actually this one fits pretty well too. Wink

Wish I Had An Angel

I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel tonight

Deep into a dying day
I took a step outside an innocent heart
Prepare to hate me fall when I may
This night will hurt you like never before

Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder

I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angelwings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight

I`m going down so frail `n cruel
Drunken disguise changes all the rules

Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder

I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angelwings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight

Greatest thrill
Not to kill
But to have the prize of the night
Hypocrite
Wannabe friend
13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!

Last dance, first kiss
Your touch my bliss
Beauty always comes with dark thoughts

[sighs and laughter]

I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angelwings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight

I wish I had an angel
I wish I had an angel
I wish I had an angel
I wish I had an angel

Question: If filk is actually meant to be sung, how is the problem of disparate demographics overcome?
