Song Parodies

I’m a huge fan of musical parodies. Obviously one of my favorite musicians is “Weird Al” Yankovic, but there are many other artists who’ve done song parodies, such as Bob Rivers, though most others are stand-up comedians. I love them all, and occasionally write my own. The ones I write usually involve gaming, and a number of my friends write similar parodies. We’ve come to use the term “filks” to refer to them, even though the word filk typically refers to a fannish style of folk music rather than parodies. Many filk and folk songs use the same music and are parody-like, so that’s what we call them. The majority of my own filks/parodies use modern music (typically rock) instead of folk music.
