#FridayFilk : A Wizard’s Bread And Butter
What the hell, it’s cold outside, the days are dark here so I thought I’d bring back the old Friday Filk posts for a while – a series of silly songs perfect for getting you kicked out of your local pub, library, place of worship or geography lesson. Mostly old stuff, just for a laugh, but maybe some new things will raise their heads as well, let’s see.
Not sure what Filk is? Well, thanks to a typo in a magazine waaaaaayyyyyy back, ‘Filk Music’ is the folk music of the geek community. It started at a con with WGGL (We’re Going to Get Lynched for doing this!) and now has spread world wide. There are many respected Filk artists from Leslie Fish and Heather Alexander to Not Literally and Random Encounters.
October is the month for witch and wizardry for sure so here’s a Harry Potter song for you (you can sing it to the tune of ‘My Old Man’s A Dustman’ or you can make up your own tune UTY 😀 )
A WIZARD’S BREAD AND BUTTER:
Oh there’s nothing wrong with Lumos
If you need a bit of light
But Lumos just won’t cut it
If you’re looking for a fight
Oh there’s nothing wrong with Bat Bogies
If you’re squabbling at school
But you’ll look pretty infantile
If you try it in a duel
Oh there’s nothing wrong with a disarm spell
If it’s a duel you’ve found
But a disarm spell won’t serve you well
When there’s Death Eaters around
Oh there’s nothing wrong with Confringo
It will blow them all away
But Confringo will have to go
When the Dark lord comes to play
Oh there’s nothing wrong with all these spells
But when these spells won’t do…
Just try ‘AVADA KEDAVRA!’
It’s the spell to get you through!
I cakled greatly reading this – thank you!
