Filk challenge
Posted: Tue May 01, 2007 8:49 pm
So before TriS went down Distracted suggested a filk challenge. And I said I could never refuse a filk challenge. And then the board went down and the whole thing disappeared but here's my reply for the filk challenge
My sincere apologies to the word "quality".
I told you I couldn't resist a filk challenge. Here's one for the lumberjack song (I used Distracted's suggestion) >He's an Engineer<
Here's a quickie for "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head". Just because. I kept the original rhyming just for the heck of it. It's kinda disturbing. Well that's what happens when you have pop-tarts for brain and you let your imagination run wild. >Click here< because I don't wanna spoil the title
Aaaaaand yet another one for "Breathe (2am)" because that song is still stuck in my head. Thank you Distracted >Breathe (4am)< gah that song is like totally evil. Like seriously a few nights ago I even had a dream where Distracted and Anna Nalick were conspiring against me (don't remember much of it except that Anna Nalick's name was spelled wrong on her name tag). And now my own filk is stuck in my head and I keep filking even that. I could do this all day
It's not really my fault that song's stuck in my head
It's Distracted who started it, blame her instead
'Cause it's so monotoneous and easy to mimic
So I realize I seem a bit OCD right now
But I just can't shake that damn melody
And I don't even know the original lyrics...
See?? I could go on like forever
I just get inspired way too easily please let me know if that uh... stuff of mine qualifies for submitting to TriS being as demented as it is. For my defense I have a perfectly valid excuse for being demented because I was feverish when I wrote them. (Eh who am I kidding. It's a chronic condition )
Just in case anyone's wondering: yeah I actually am capable of using bigger words and more sophisticated sentences and... writing stuff. I just chose not to well it's just a habit I guess, because being through all the pain that I've been through in my life without being allowed to say anything I had to do something with all that pain or I'd go like totally mental, so I'd just channel it into creativity, so many times it would be like songs and filks, hell I've been writing those ever since I learned how to write so I'd just write like a lot of bash/rant filks, totally sarcastic stuff that would ridicule my pain and anyone and anything that caused it etc just to keep sane... it was my silent mutiny because I didn't have an outlet otherwise. And I'd just write lots and lots of that stuff, in the language I use everyday so I guess filking kinda became second nature to me. Plus having to think in predetermined structures and patterns actually kinda helps me arrange the dyslexic mess of thoughts in my head.
