This thread is dedicated to all those who enjoy music, rewriting songs, and filling every hour of your day with a soundtrack.

The idea began back in one of the 5 billion "Snape's Loyalty" threads with this humble beginning:

As far as Dumbledore and what else we might learn about him, I think she had made some comment about his family and its relevance. Which I suppose would be Alberforth...and not an illegitimate Snape--which I say to make sure I'm on topic.

QUOTE
what if his object is not to pass information, but to wait until the time is right, when Harry has destroyed the horcruxes and meets LV one on one and then... SNAPE PLANS TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF AS LILY DID.

For that we'll have to wait and find out, hopefully in book 7, if he knows about the horcruxes. I wonder if Harry might need Snape to help him kill a horcrux (disable? sounds very Star Trek: "Horcrux disabled, Captain. Shall I raise shields?"). Anyway, back to Harry, he will need help physically getting rid of the horcruxes, if Dumbledore himself needed help. Ron and Hermionie are good, but I think he will require extra aid, and, well, obviously if somehow Snape ends up helping with that, he'll obviously not be on Voldemort's side.

He is her superstar and she's pretending he's not. She's pretending Harry is the superstar, when meanwhile anytime she wants she can end the pandamonium over Snape.

Sev'rus Snape, Superstar, do you think you're what they say you are? Thanks, Andrew Lloyd Webber.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA - LMAO!!! Snape - The Musical. I think it could work, but we'd have to find out a bit more about him before we write it. And we could have Dumbledore and LV singing "What's the buzz, tell me what'sa happening..." :nods: Brilliant!

Whoo! That works perfectly for that song. Well, I'll definitely have fun thinking more about that...at risk of the dreaded OT:

V&DD:
What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening?

S (to DD):
I'll tell you what I know.
Voldemort's obsessed with fighting deaths and fates he can can't defy.
If you knew the plan he's hiding, you wouldn't tell Hogwarts good-bye.

V&DD:
What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening?

S (to V):
I'll tell you what I know.
Dumbledore is getting weaker and I think he can't last long,
The future of the Order's looking bleaker--as you know I'm never wrong.

...all right, I promise no further off-topic songs, I have given myself a warning.


Oh, even if it is off topic, that's just a gem of a start. "I Don't Know How to Love Him" could be a Lily flashback (or Narcissa, depending on your views), "Horcruxes on Their Minds" sung by Harry, "Lord Voldemort's Song" (So you are the spy, you're the great double spy - prove to me that you're devine; Kill Dumbledore and we'll be fine... if you do that for me, then I'll let you go free - Come on you King of the News.), "The Severus Must Die (He is Dangerous)" sung by Bella, "Severus Snape, Superstar" sung by Harry (or Dumbledore), my personal favorite, "Trelawny's Dream," and much, much more smile.gif

Here's the rules (so to speak). This is a thread where you can create musical numbers! Rewrite songs, song titles, etc. and make them fit Harry Potter. It can be funny (as above), sappy, cute, whatever. It does not have to be from a musical. Since not every knows the same music, though, it could behoove you to mention the name, artist, and perhaps genre/origins of the song that you S.P.o.O.F. (had to write that in somehow). Many of us will be posting a lot, so just browse and catch on.

Most importantly, though - HAVE FUN!!!

Since my post was the last one before the end of the last thread, I think I should post it again because it's not likely that many people will see it (if that's not okay, let me know).

Furry Little Secret
A Harry Potter Parody of All-American Reject's "Dirty Little Secret"

Let me know where I went wrong
As I sing this mournful song
I've done this a time or two
And I don't need to tell you

You go "Don't throw it away
I want to know what you have to say"
Okay, I'll tell you what you want to know

I'll tell you my furry little secret (furry little secret)
Don't tell a soul
Or it will be your biggest regret (your biggest regret)
You really have to keep it
My furry little secret

And now you know

People live such fragile lives
What they don't know lets them survive
I've been around a time or two
Until I found a friend like you

I've told you all that I can say
And I hope that you will stay
You are the only one that can know

I'll tell you my furry little secret (furry little secret)
Don't tell a soul
Or it will be your biggest regret (your biggest regret)
You really have to keep it
My furry little secret

And now you know

The way I feel inside (inside)
Instincts I can't deny (deny)
This sleeping dog won't lie (won't lie)
I don't want to rip people apart
Escape this nightmare

I'll tell you my furry little secret (furry little secret)
Don't tell a soul
Or it will be your biggest regret (your biggest regret)

I'll tell you my furry little secret (furry little secret)
Don't tell a soul
Or it will be your biggest regret (your biggest regret)
You really have to keep it
My furry little secret
My furry little secret
My furry little secret

And now you know

This is the first filk I've ever written. It's to the tune of ABBA's song "Honey Honey", with Voldemort singing it. I wrote it originally for the broadway filkcast on PotterCast. It was kind of loosly based on a PotterCast episode where John said that Harry wasn't going to fight Voldemort because he was so full of love. I got lazy with some of the rhymes though biggrin.gif

Harry Harry - to the tune of ABBA's "Honey Honey"

Harry Harry, I just want you dead, Harry Harry
Harry Harry, you fill me with dread, Harry Harry

I trusted the prophecy
It was nearly the end of me
But the love that I couldn't see
Didn't conquer me
'Cause I had my horcri

Harry Harry, what's so great about you? Harry Harry
What's the boy who lived compared to You-Know-Who? Harry Harry

The Power that I know not
Was the vital thing I forgot
But now that I have you here
You're at my mercy

(Harry singing)

I don't wanna hurt you Voldy
Even if it means I die
You know I forgive you
You were just a normal guy

(Voldemort singing)

Well I'm still going to kill you
Nothing else I would rather do
Avada Kedavra and maybe some crucio too

Harry Harry, I detest you so, Harry Harry
Harry Harry, I'll kill you blow by blow, Harry Harry

Your name will always be mud
Just the same as your mother's blood
And Harry to say the least
You'll soon be deceased

(Harry)

You know I forgive you, you were just a normal guy

(Voldemort)

Avada Kedavra and maybe some crucio too

Harry Harry, I just want you dead, Harry Harry
Harry Harry, you fill me with dread, Harry Harry

(Chorus sung to fade)

I trusted the prophecy
It was nearly the end of me
But the love that I couldn't see
Didn't conquer me
'Cause I had my horcri
gingin77
WOW!!!! a new Filk thread!!!.... that is so freaking awesome

alright now it is time for me to put my first post in the new thread.. with two new filks

First is a filk from "More than Words" ~ Eric Clapton Filked to "Say the Word"

To say goodbye to you, they're not the words I want to say to you
What will get through to you that your friends are allways there for you
Its easy, let us help you hunt the horcruxes
Say the word, and we'll be there to lend a helping hand
Don't you say I have to stay, for my safety, 'cause I already know
That leaving you, would just tear my heart in two
Say the word I'll be at your side, dont you tell me to go hide
what would you say if I just came anyway
Then you couldn't run off to, fight alone agains You Know Who

Ladida ladadada just say the word
Ladida ladadada

Now that I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
That all you have to do is drop your pride and just tell us your plans
And trust me, we wont but in you can run the show
Just the word, is all we need to get ready to go
Dont you say I have to stay for my safety, 'cause I already know
That leaving you would just tear my heart in two
Say the word I'll be at your side, don't you tell me to go hide
What would you say if I just came anyway
Then you couldn't run off too, fight alone against You Know Who


The second filk is from Carrie Underwood's "Jesus Take the Wheel"... filked to 'Riddle Took Control"

She was ridding that sunday on the scarlet steem engine
First of September her first year
Leaving home and her mama and her daddy
She didnt show her fear
Then her brothers go and leave her all alone, no friends to be seen
It would be a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she needed an escape
So she headed to her trunk
Before she knew it she was talking to Tom and who'd have thunk
that his kind words that flashed before her eyes
Would soon start to make her cry
She started to foget
And soon she would regret

Cause Riddle took control
Took it from her hands
She was no longer on her own
He took control
To get one more chance
He possessed her life and soul
Riddle took control

She started to get worried when her days became blurry
and she lost large blocks of time
She pannicked when she saw te other students petrified like rocks
And for the first time in this whole time
She tried to get away
She threw the diary away
But then got it right back
She thought she had no chance
Because later on that night

Riddle took control
Took it from her hands
She was no longer all her own
He took her down
To the Chamber that night
To try and take her life and soul
Oh Riddle took control

Oh, he took her down
To the Chamber that night
To Try and take her life and soul
Her life and soul
Riddle took control

what do you think guys?

Hey everyone,

Well pat me on the back - I just finished my first FILK recording session and I actually figured out how to make Audacity work for me. YAY!

I recorded 3 FILKs and I'm quite happy with the results.

In this thread can we only share typed lyrics? If not here, is there a place to share our finished MP3's? I'd really love some experienced FILKers opinions/comments/etc on what I've done so far.

For now I'll post the lyrics:

FILK #1 - Dumbledore

Written by: Amanda (Lady A)
Music: Yesterday (the Beatles)
Sung by Harry

Dumbledore
You’re the one that Voldie feared they’d say
And yet I stand here all alone today
Oh Dumbledore
You went away

Suddenly
I’m not the little boy I used to be
Those I love must stop protecting me
It’s time to face my destiny

Why you had to go now I know
It had to be
I know you are gone
But I long
For Dumbledore

Dumbledore
You believed that he was not a snake
Your belief in him was your mistake
Oh Dumbledore was killed by Snape

How he tricked you so I don’t know
You’d never say
Now our world seems wrong
And I long
To murder Snape

Dumbledore
The task ahead of me’s too much to bear
How will I handle this when you’re not there
Oh Dumbledore
This isn’t fair

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This one is a Christmas Filk - Anyone know if Pottercast will have a Christmas Filk show? They totally should! I'd love to enter!

FILK #2 - Voldie Baby

Written by: Amanda (Lady A)
Music: Santa Baby (Marilyn Monroe/Madonna)
Sung by Bellatrix Lestrange

INTRO:
Ladies and Gentlemen
Live from her cell in Azkaban
Ready to sing her Christmas tribute to her Dark Lord
Bellatrix Lestange!

Hello Death Eaters!
Are you ready to sing about our Dark Lord?
Here we go!

Voldie Baby
Pass a wand here over to me, honey
I’m always loyal to you, Voldie Baby
So hurry back my Dark Lord tonight

Voldie Baby
A nasty little jinx-y or two, would do
To keep the wizards in line, Voldie Baby
So hurry back my Dark Lord tonight

Think of all the fools who would
Think that you are really, truly gone for good
Next year could be so e-vil
If you’d come back and set us free

Ba doo be doo
Voldie honey
I want you here, the muggles would shed some tears
If you‘d come back to me now, Voldie Baby
So hurry back my Dark Lord tonight

Voldie Cutie
There’s one thing I really can’t take, this break
Time spent away from you, Voldie Baby
So hurry back my Dark Lord tonight

Voldie Baby
And make the wizarding world all stress, a mess
Leave your dark mark behind, Voldie Baby
And hurry back my Dark Lord tonight

Come and break me from my cell
Seeing you return would be - oh so swell
Azkaban has been oh so mean
Let’s see if you’ll be rewarding me

Ba do be doo
Voldie Baby
I know that you can’t really be gone, so long
No half blood kid could beat you, Voldie baby
So hurry back my dark Lord tonight
Hurry back my dark Lord tonight
Hurry back my dark Lord - tonight

FILK #3 - Chosen One Rap

Written by: Amanda (Lady A)
Music: White Boy Rap (By George in Scary Movie 3)
Sung by: Harry

Snitch…Jo

Now everybody here at Hogwarts school
Stick your wands in the air cause Voldemort is through
Everybody here at Hogwarts school
Put’em up - Check it out

I’m a half blood but my magic’s cool
I’m the youngest Quidditch player in the whole dang school
Well Dementors give me a scare
And I’ve got messy hair
You all know my name cause my scar is there

How many muggles have I killed? Zero…uh
And Dumbledore happens to be my hero
I grew up with the Dursleys and I didn’t know magic
But I’m learning fast so old Voldie better panic

Well I got through the maze
I hate Ramilda Vane
My middle name’s James
And Voldemort’s insane

So maybe I’m young and you think that I’m done
But you better run, cause I’m The Chosen One
Clara Loveny
I thought I might actually post for once! Reading your filks has been a lot of fun. You are all so good! thumbup.gif

This may be a good way for me to boost my post count up ... and get rid of my phobia of posting in threads tongue.gif

The tune of this filk is Coldplay's, Fix You. Imagine a nice electric organ introduction to get you into the Quidditch-y mood!

xD

Harry is singing to Ron, giving him his support the help him train for the Quidditch team.

Some of the sylabols are a bit iffy ... but it's my first shot so cut me some slack!

When you reach for the Quaffle but miss by miles
When you think you’ll loose in the Quidditch trails
When she looks at you but never smiles
Stuck in reverse

When you won’t show yourself to your brothers face
When you hope to Merlin that you’ll get a place
When you feel like an utter a waste
Could it be worse?

Flight will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

You try your hardest but you’re too slow
You are far too stubborn to let it go
And your failure just seems to show
What is it worth?

Flight will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Wind blows, in your face
When you loose something called “your grace”
Wind blows, in your face and I

Wind blows, in your face
Promise that you will learn from your mistakes
Wind blows, in your face and I

Flight will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
FreedomStar
Wow, these are all excellent! I think I might have a go at writing a filk, although don't expect me to actually record it. I don't have any of the equipment or anything. But I think it'd be fun to do one to the tune of 'Before He Cheats' by Carrie Underwood. (Yeah, i'm a huuuuuge country music fan.

gingin77- I love that song, Jesus Take the Wheel. But it always makes me want to cry! I don't easily get teary eyed over much.

Yay country! I've actually got a Filk to a Kenney Chesney song in the works at the moment! You should definitely take a stab at writting a filk. It's a lot of fun and totally addictive! I swear every song I hear now I turn it into a filk in my head! LOL

I wrote a couple more filks last night and today but haven't polished them off yet. Maybe by the weekend I'll post them up.

I love everyone else's filks btw! They are all awesome! I'm totally new to this area of the fandom but I'm falling very quickly in love with it!
devilssnare12
OMG I just read through the first thread and I haven't laughed so much in ages! I definitely going to have a go at writing one!

Lady A
, 'Dumbledore' to Yesterday is inspired! clap.gif

Okay, so I've wrote two!!! They're both truly dreadful, but oh well...

The first one's to the tune of How Soon Is Now? by the Smiths. It's being sang by Voldemort haha, here it goes

I'm Salazar's rightful heir
Of a house whose members have the purest blood
I'm Salazar's heir
And I'm a parseltongue

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I'm immortal, I don't need to be loved
Just like everybody else does.

I'm Salazar's rightful heir
Of a house whose members are the most cunning
I'm Salazar's heir
Of the Chamber of Secrets

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I'm immortal, I don't need to be loved
Just like everybody else does.

There's a boy who I tried to kill
But he had somebody who really loved him
So I try to kill him again
But he survives again
So I punish those who
Ruined my plan.

And it's all because of Dumbledore.
Well, he's not here anymore
See I've already waited too long,
And all his protection has gone.

The second one's to the tune of The Boy With The Thorn In His Side, again, by The Smiths.
It's set at the beginning of OotP when Harry's stuck in Privet Drive.

-The Boy With The Scar On His Head

The boy with the scar on his head
Behind the glasses there lies
An ancient protection of love
(Harry:) How can the Prophet tell these lies
And the Minister won't believe me.
How can they see Cedric's body
And still they don't believe me.
And if they don't believe me now
Will they ever believe me?
And if they don't believe me now
Will they ever believe me?

The boy with the scar on his head
Behind the glasses there lies
An ancient protection of love.
(Harry:) How can they see my mother's eyes
And still they don't believe me.
And after all these deaths
They don't want to believe me.
And if they don't believe me now
Will they ever believe me?
And if you want to fight
How do you start?
Where do you go?
Who do you need to know?
Dum - ble - do - ore
Duum - ble - do - ore
Du - huh - huh - um - ble - dore
( Dumbledore repeated several times in typical Morrisey style)

Tell me what you think, be brutal biggrin.gif
Fairest_Lily
Hey, I'm pretty new to filking, but here are three filks I wrote to music from West Side Story, redone as Dark Side Story!! wizard.gif Hope you like 'em~

Horcruxes (Maria)

Voldemort: Horcruxes!
I’ve just learned a spell for horcruxes!
And suddenly my soul,
Will never be as whole again!

Horcruxes!
I’ve just killed someone for my horcruxes!
And somehow I will live,
When Lily gives up all she can!

Horcruxes!
One’s a locket that’s gold and shiny.
One’s a ring that is cracked and grimy.
Horcruxes…
I’ll never stop making horcruxes!


I Feel Evil (I Feel Pretty)

Voldemort: I feel evil, oh so evil,
I feel evil, and nasty, and mean!
And so evil,
Just one look at me will make you scream!

DE’s: Lalalala la la la la lala!

Voldemort: I feel scary, and not hairy,
I feel cruel, and nasty, and bad!
And so evil,
It would drive anyone of you mad!

DE’s: Lalalala la la la la lala!

Voldemort: See that evil lord in that vision there!

DE’s: What vision, where?

Voldemort: Who can that attractive lord be?

DE’s: Which? What? Where? Who?

Voldemort: Such an evil face, such an evil laugh, such an evil smile, such an evil me! Hehehehehe!

I feel evil, oh so evil,
I feel evil, and nasty, and cruel!
I’m so evil, because, I’m You-Know-Who!

Crazy Potter (Cool)

Fudge: Potter, Potter, crazy Potter,
Don’t believe Potter!
Says Voldy’s back,
Says I’m off track,
Don’t believe Potter!

Trust me, and the Ministry,
We’ve got control.
Everything’s great, nothing on our plate,
Shut up, ‘cause we’re on a roll!

Potter, Potter, crazy Potter,
Don’t believe Potter!
Got it handled,
There’s no scandal,
Just don’t believe Potter!

Potter’s bad, he’ll make you mad,
He wants you all scared!
Potter’s wrong, so hear this song,
The Ministry is quite prepared!

Potter, Potter, (fade out)

Hey guys,

I feel like I've gone FILK crazy this past week. I love it! I finished a couple more yesterday. Haven't had a chance to record them yet but oh well! LOL

Here's the lyrics:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Potterhead
(Not so lovingly dedicated to Laura Mallory)
Music: Popular (Wicked the Musical)
Lyrics: Amanda (Lady A)

Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I
And let’s face it - there are some
Less fortunate than I
My magic sense tends to start to scream

And no matter what their opinion
I simply have to clue them in
I know, I know, exactly what they should read

And even in your case
Though it’s the toughest case I’ve yet to face
Don’t worry, I’m determined to persuade
I’ve come to your aide
Don’t be afraid

You’ll be a
Potterhead
A big giant Potterhead

I’ll show you the ghosts and spells
Yeah these books are swell
The little clues that Jo puts in - Woo!

I’ll walk you through Hogwarts school
Cause it sure is cool
Imagination really counts in a Potterhead
A big giant Potterhead

You’ll hang on the internet
Leaky & Mugglenet
Are some sites you’ve got to know
So let’s start cause 6 books is an awfully long way to go

Don’t be offended by the Wizardology
There is no evil ever found in all of these
Just a bunch of awesome moral values
Friendship, Love & Loyal-ty
It’s what you’re gonna see
It’s really great to be a Potterhead
I know about Potterheads

And by book number 3
I think you’re gonna be
Completely all over obsessed - Yes!

So lose that muggle attire
And get yourself some wizard dress….robes

La La La La

You’re gonna be a Potterhead

When I see misguided persons
Who think Harry’s full of curses
Devil worship, lots of evil stuff
I tell them

Harry gets kids brains a-workin’
Imagination grows for certain

Is Harry Potter evil?
Don’t make me laugh

Harry’s popular - please
He made reading popular
And with help from Hermione
Your kids will love to read
Instead of watchin’ MTV

They will all be Potterheads
Like me

Why Miss Mallory
What’s wrong with you?
Harry’s wonderful!

And though you are scared
You think we’re all ensnared
With some devil worshipping

Your gonna have to bear it
This worldwide Potterology - HA!

La La La La

There will be Potterheads
A whole world of Potterheads
Like Me!

Look At Me - Hermione
Written by: Amanda (Lady A)
Music: Look at me I’m Sandra Dee (Grease)
Sung by: Hermione (1st year)

Look at me - Hermione
Perfect little Miss Prissy
Won’t break a rule
Here at Hogwarts school
I can’t! I’m Hermione

Watch it - careful what you do
Think of all the points you’ll lose
If you’re not careful and if you get caught
Your house will not forgive

I don’t cheat, cross a line
I turn my work in on time
I get O’s on all my exams

Take your fun & games
And just get away
I don’t approve of such things

As for the boy, Draco Malfoy
Killing him would be such a joy
But I must keep my cool
Or get kicked out of school
And that I could not take

Fred! George! Let me be
Keep your trouble far from me

I know I’ll do fine
That Head girl badge is mine

Oh yes - that’s right - I’m Hermione

Mrs. Next Door
Only The Good Die Young (Voldemort's perspective)

Come out Death Eaters, don't let me wait
You minion types start much too late
Aw, but sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one

Well, they showed you some magic, they took you away
They bought you some books and a wand to wave
Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay
For good things you might have done.....
Only the good die young
That’s what I said
only the good die young x2

You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty, we are too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
Aw, but that never saved no one

So come on Death Eaters, show me a sign
Send up a Dark Mark I'll throw you the line
That mask of goodwill you're hiding behind
Never lets in the fun
Oh yeah, only the good die young
(whoa x5 )
I tell ya
Only the good die young x2

You got a brand new broom and a party on your acceptation
To that Hogwarts school
Yeah, you were a fool
But Death Eaters they didn't give you quite enough information
You didn't count on me
When you were learnin’ Astronomy
(oh whoa whoa)

They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
The sinners have much more fun...

you know that only the good die young
oh whoa baby
I tell ya
only the good die young, X2


You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a cell in prison
She didn’t think well of me
But did she ever say a spell for me? Oh whoa whoa

Come out come out come out Death Eaters don’t let me wait,
You minion types start much too late
Sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one,
You know that only the good die young

I'm telling you baby
You know that only the good die young
Only the good die young
Only the gooooooooooooooood
Only the good die young
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooo oooooooooo...

It's my first one. This is what happens on a loooong car trip with the radio going.

This is the first filk I’ve ever written, I’d appreciate critique! This version does not have a title but it is to “Another Day” from Rent (The movie version.)

Ron:
Who do you think you are?
Barging in, on my and my Lav-Lav
Little nerd hey
The door is that way
You better go back to your Arithmancy homework
Take your planner
Take your homework
Your perfect OWL’s, I just can’t handle
Well take your long bushy Brown Hair
Your big teeth
Goodbye, goodnight!

I can’t love you, but I love you
I can’t love you, but I…NO!

Chorus (Ron):
Lavender Brown’s
The one for me
Our hearts will be entwined
As are our arms and legs
You need to stop this now
Cause your confusing me
I’m not up for grab’s
Cause she’s the one for me
The one for me

Hermione:
Bulgarian Bon Bons
Don’t interest me
I need a Weasley
To be my king
I’ve tried to deny it
But I know that I can’t
Krum’s just no match for you
Ronald

There’s only us
There’s only this
Forget Lav-Lav
Or I’m yours to miss
My heart is true
To only you
We are meant to be

Ron:
Excuse me, I’m trying to snog
But if you love me, then tell me
What’s that letter to Krum?
Take your papers
Take your perfect scores
Don’t forget, stop at the Owlery
Now if you don’t mind
I love my Lav-Lav
Get away from me
And never ever come back

Chorus (Ron)




Hermione:
There’s only us
There’s only this
You must reveal
Your hearts true song
No other boy
Can catch my heart
We are meant to be

Hermione: I can’t control.

Ron: My Lav-Lav’s feelings

Hermione: My hearts true love

Ron: Girl’s—they’re mysteries

Hermione: Harmonians are mad—delusional

Ron: What’s a Harmonian?

Hermione: It’s all confusing

Ron: Just let me be

Hermione:
There’s only us
There’s only this
Dump Lavender
Don’t cower in fear
Of your true heart
And it’s desires

Hermione: We are meant to be

Ron: But what will Lav-Lav say?

Hermione: We are meant to be

Ron: But if I dump her, I just know she’ll cry

Hermione: We are meant to be

Ron: Will you love me, but still check my homework?

Hermione: We are meant to be

Ron: I know I can’t, don’t think I should, I just don’t know, but I love you

Hermione: We are meant to be

Ron: I guess your right, if you say so, I do love you, my heart is true

Together: We are meant to be

Hey, happy Thanksgiving all American filkers!! This is a filk that seriously came to me this morning. It's to Brave Sir Robin from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, or Monty Python's Spamalot (great show btw). thumbup.gif

Brave Young Potter (Brave Sir Robin)

Brave young Harry Potter
Went forth from Hogwarts School.
He was not afraid to die,
O brave young Potter!
He was not at all afraid
To face his mightiest foe.
Brave, brave, brave Harry Potter!

He was not in the least bit scared
Of the Cruciatus Curse,
Or of the Inferi,
Or the trolls and giants.
The Death Eaters don't scare him
And dementor's are child's play.
Werewolves aren't the least bit frightening,
Brave young Potter.

His mentor killed and
His girlfriend gone and
Draco's a Death Eater and
Snape's a liar.
The locket's been stolen and
R.A.B.'s dead and
His scar's a Horcru-
(spoken)
Shh! Not 'til the seventh book!!

Hi everyone

I'm new on the forum (well, sort of; I was here once before but somehow I lost track and my username, well... ). I'm a regular PotterCast listener and I thought those filk show's are the BEST OF THEM ALL! And then I found out that there is a filk thread on the forums, so I HURRIED to get there! excited.gif

I liked the Brave Young Potter filk (especially the end)! And I was so AMAZED at artemiswolfang's voice! WOW!

I have started to record my very very first filk but after hearing your filk... uhm, I will rehearse a little more, I think... unsure.gif For a start I will post the lyrics, OK? English is not my mother tongue, so I'm really happy if you guys point out any mistakes to me. And of course I'm looking forward to any comments you professionals have for a raw beginner!

Music: Les Misérables, Empty Chairs at Empty Tables
Text: by me
Title: "Dumbledore’s Death"
The situation: Harry's standing on the tower in the crack of dawning a day after Dumblerdore’s death, mourning

There’s a grief that can’t be spoken
And the pain goes on and on
And the tower top’s deserted
Now that Dumbledore is gone.

Here he fought his fatal battle
Here he froze me in my cloak
Here he slumped against the ramparts
And received his final stroke.

From deep inside the castle
Snape came up as if from hell
And he raised his wand and shouted
the deadly spell!
Dumbledore, in jets of green lightning -
Me motionless and put -
Was falling to the tower’s foot.

Dumbledore, my tutor, why
Do I live and you are dead?
I’d have willingly accepted
To have perished in your stead.

Empty skies above the castle
Empty lights split clouds apart
Empty grounds and empty meadows
Emptiness in my heart.

(despairingly) Dumbledore, my friend, please, tell me
What your sacrifice was for
If there is a higher reason
(slowing) I can’t see it anymore.

Happy to be here!!! thumbup.gif

Hey PatFromSwitzerland, great filk!! I LOVE Les Mis (best musical EVER!!), and your lyrics are great, as is your English. You should record your filk, it's awesome! I wrote a Les Mis filk too, but the thread I posted it on got closed. It's called Just One More, to One Day More. It's set at the end of book 7.

Just One More

Harry: Just one more!
Only horcrux left for me to find,
I'll leave this rotten journey far behind!
Voldemort won't stand a chance,
I'll fight him, oh, I'll watch him dance!
Just one more!

Ron: We are nearly at the end,
We can finally be together!

Ron and Hermione: You're no longer just a friend!
Life's about to get much better!

Ginny: Just one more 'til he comes back!

Harry: Ginny will be mine again!

Ginny: He will say he loves me once more!

Harry: But Voldemort must not know!

Ginny: With the Horcri in the sack,

Harry: She must stay, and I must go!

Ginny: He will defeat Voldemort!

The Order: Just one more and then we're through!

Harry: I will find it soon, I swear!

The Order: We'll have won the war at last!

Harry: With the help of my best friends!

The Order: Voldy's soul is down to two!

Harry: Voldemort will meet his end!

The Order: No more death spells will be cast!
Our leader's dead,
But still, we fight!

Harry: Just one more!

Voldemort: Foolish boy, thinks he can find them,
He will never get away!
I have hidden them forever!
He will see, I'll make him pay!

Death Eaters: Gotta kill and maim,
Do it just the same,
Even if our lord is dead and gone!
We'll still be insane,
Still got more to gain,
Killing mudbloods is just so much fun!

The Order: One more 'til the final battle

Neville and Luna: We'll help fight, we know we must!

The Order: We know the good side will win!

Neville and Luna: Though we're young, please trust us!

Death Eaters: We will slaughter them like cattle!

Snape: I don't know which side I'm on!

Death Eaters: Let the destrustion begin!

Harry: The final one, is in my grasp!
Just One More!

Ron and Hermione: We are nearly at the end!
We can finally be together!

Voldemort: My Death Eaters go to battle,
I will lead them from behind!
My henchman will destroy them!
My horcrux, Potter will not find!

Ginny: Just one more and then he's mine!

Harry: Just one more!

Ron and Hermione: Harry needs his two best friends!
We will fight evil forever!

Voldemort: Foolish boy, thinks he can find them,
He will never live to tell!
I have hidden them forever!

Death Eaters: Gotta kill and maim,
Do it just the same,
Even if our lord is dead and gone!

Harry: Just one more, and then we're done,
Book seven will tell what's to come!

All: At the end we'll discover
What Jo Rowling has in store!
One more fight!
One more left!
JUST ONE MORE!!

Hey PatFromSwitzerland, great filk!! I LOVE Les Mis (best musical EVER!!), and your lyrics are great, as is your English. You should record your filk, it's awesome!

Hi Fairest_Lily, thanks for your compliments, I really appreciate them! I can return them honestly, your filk is WONDERFUL! You've chosen one of the REALLY great moments of the BEST musical EVER - but then, I think this musical consists of nothing else than REALLY great moments... Anyway, I LOVE your lyrics, you have found such a great way to reflect a similar situation in Harry Potter with just as many aspects as in the original! What a deed! clap.gif

I really, really long to record my filk because, in fact, I'm quite proud of it but I must first get started with headsets and stuff and get used to Audacity. But I have written another filk which I have already recorded! Next thing is to set up a site where I can place it, so stay tuned... wink.gif

A question: Have any of you found a CD with the orchestral part of Les Misérabeles but without the voices? I would be so happy. The music on the CD I found in a music store in Zurich is rather poor. Maybe someone knows a good source?

Hi everyone!

I' ve worked like a fool this weekend (but this doesn't say anything, as all my friends think I'm a fool anyway with my obsession) to get my Harry Potter Filk Site online. It's not a great thing, just a place where I can share my filks (and still a quite deserted place). You can check it out here if you like.

My second ever filk is already up, a tiny song called "The Aurors's Battle Song" to the tune of a German folksong. Sorry, the sound is not really good, I'm still using this little hole in my laptop that is supposed to be a mic. Anyway, you can find the mp3-file right here and these are the lyrics:

The Auror's Battle Song
***********************
tune: a popular canon in German ("Hejo, spann den Wagen an!")
The next voice can be added after every line

(march-like) Aurors! It's time to get your wands!
Let's hunt horcri and Death Eater's alike!
Gather, all ye fighters, gather all ye fighters!

Hope you like it!

And here comes my very, very first Christmas filk ever! It is to the tune of "Joy to the world" and I'm soooo excited to hear what you think about it:

Joy to the World (Voldemort’s Defeat)
********************************

Joy to the world! It’s done, it’s done!
The Darkest Lord’s defeat!
Let Wizards, Muggles, Trolls and Newts
And all of those Blast-Ended Skrewts
And all be-ings of all kind
All dance and sing out of mind!
All da-ance and scre-e-am and sing on the street!

No mo-ore tricks, no fear, no war!
And Voldemort is dead!
Death Eaters might still lurk about
But they will hide without a doubt
And we don’t care anymore!
And we don’t care anymore!
They a-all will be-e locked away in a shed!

Let all people know the boy who lived
Has sent the terror off!
To Snake Lore or to Spinner’s End,
Albania, or wherev’r he went!
We don’t care any-y more
We don’t care any-y more
He sha-a-all rot and rot and rot in his trough!

Joy to the world! This pest has gone!
At last he met his end!
Let Wizards, Muggles, Owls and Elves
And wands, broomsticks and books on shelves
And all be-ings of all kind
All dance and sing out of mind!
All da-ance and scre-e-am and sing round the bend!


I'm still getting started with headsets and stuff, so it will take some time till I can record.

Pat

Good job Pat! YAY Christmas FILKs!

I'm working on a couple of Christmas Filks of my own and currently I'm working on the recording of my Filk Voldie Baby (lyrics are earlier in this thread) and need some help.

Any guys out there who would be willing to help by recording the intro to the song? I just want a guy's voice for the intro rather than my own voice introducing myself! LOL

If you're interested PM me thumbup.gif
Thanks

These are great fliks everyone. I really enjoyed all the Les Mis ones biggrin.gif

There is not only ONE musical but SERVERAL DOZENS!!! I found them on this link: http://home.att.net/~coriolan/musical/table5.htm. I checked some of them and they're truly amazing! It is an incredible site with hundreds of filks, but unfortunately no music files.

I actually sent a filk to PotterCast and I'm so NERVOUS whether they're going to accept it. It would be such an HONOR!!! excited.gif I keep my fingers crossed... and for everyone else who sends filks as well!

Hey Pat,

I've actually never had a song on a filk show yet. I'm really new to filking and just barely starting recording. I actually just sent two (Voldie Baby and one about Moaning Myrtle) to PotterCast today in hopes that one or both will make it on the show (wasn't sure if we could submit more than one so I sent both and told them to pick if only one was allowed).

Hopefully one of them is good enough to make the show! The Myrtle song actually turned out really well! Here's the lyrics:

FILK #2 - Miserable Moaning Myrtle

Written by: Amanda (Lady A)
Song: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

You know the Bloody Baron
And Nick Nearlyheadless
The Pretty Gray Lady
And Happy Fat Friar

But do you recall
The most depressed little ghostie of all

Miserable Moaning Myrtle
Boy that witch can really cry
And if you ever meet her
Well you're gonna wish you'd die

All of the Hogwarts students
Avoid old Myrtle like bad breath
So Myrtle lives alone in her U-bend
Where she sadly ponders death

Then one strange and fateful day
The trio came to say
Myrtle with your bathroom bare
Can we brew some potion there

Myrtle got a crush on Harry
But none of that could change her mind
Miserable Moaning Myrtle
Would still be crying all the time

Miserable Moaning Myrtle
Was murdered many years ago
She was often teased and taunted
But she'd get even, this you know

After the snakey killed her
Myrtle didn't go away
She stuck around and haunted Olive
And watches while the prefects bathe

Several years after Harry
Another boy came to chat
But this boy was a crier too
So Myrtle'd met her match

Myrtle thought the world of Draco
She really likes a sensitive guy
But Draco had to flee from Hogwarts
So Myrtle continues to cry

Hi LadyA

Oh, so I was mistaken, sorry. I'm not very familiar with pop songs (I was raised on classical music), so I get mixed up all the time. I thought there was a filk with the same title (but I can't tell what the tune was). So, anyway, I like you Moaning Myrtle Filk! It's very sweet, especally to the tune of Rudolphus the Red-Nosed Rendeer. I think I've never seen a filk on Moaning Myrtle before - I'm sure that's a bonus for the show! So, keep your fingers crossed! And I know of other shows that some sent several filks (and got played several!), so that should be no problem. Good on you!

Hi, I know this is cutting it close but if anyone wants to use my filk lyrics to send in a song be my guest, I just don't have the time to record one, 2 jobs and 4 year old son, so if your interested just message me.

Could be adapted to Hagrid type voice.


To the tune of Silver and gold (Island of the misfit toys style)



Scarlet and gold, scarlet and gold,
Everyone wishes to wear scarlet and gold.
Is this year your first?
Just sit down, and be brave, let the sorting hat do i'ts worst.
scarlet and gold, scarlet and gold,
Means so much more when I see,
scarlet and gold decorations
In the Great Hall with a Gryfindor house victory.
What's a Holiday feast without fellow gryffindor by your side.
Can't really sit with the Slytherins now, can you?
And think of all the fun and joy that would be lost on a Hogwarts morning
if all the young folks didn't get to see that crackling Common room fire.
scarlet and gold, scarlet and gold
Means so much more when I see,
scarlet and gold school robes
On my best friend Harry.
LadyA
Rune Thomas - I LOVE Scarlet and Gold! Great Filk!

Pat - Yes I'm hoping they like the Myrtle one as I think it turned out the best. It's quite catchy! LOL I think at least one will be accepted. Someone from the show staff emailed me after I sent them in and said she really liked them and requested that I send in the lyrics (which maybe we were suppose to do anyway and I was a dork that didn't know! LOL) but hopefully that's a good sign! I hope one makes it on the show, that would be cool!

Mrs. Next Door
Hey everybody, I have a new one! It's Harry to the DA, to the tune of I'll Make A Man Out Of You from Mulan, my favorite Disney movie EVER. Enjoy!

I'll Make Fighters Out Of You

Harry:
Let's get down to business
To defeat Voldie,
Did they send me weaklings
To find four Horcri?
You're the saddest bunch
I ever met
But you can bet
Before we're through
Children, I'll make fighters
Out of you

Tranquil as flobberworms
But on fire within.
Once you Stupefy them,
You are sure to win
You're a weak and scared
Pathetic lot
And you haven't got a clue
Somehow I'll make fighters
Out of you

Ron:
I'm never gonna catch
My breath

Lavender:
Say good-bye to those
Who knew me

Seamus:
Boy, was I a fool last week
For cutting Charms

Zacharias:
This guy's got 'em
Scared to death

Cho:
Boy, I hope he’s
Looking at me

Neville:
Now I’ll get revenge on those
Who caused me harm!

DA:
Be fighters

Harry:
We must be swift as
The coursing river

DA:
Be fighters

Harry:
With all the force
Of a great typhoon

DA:
Be fighters

Harry:
With all the strength
Of a raging fire
Mysterious as the
Dark side of the moon

Time is racing toward us
Till Voldie arrives
Heed my every teaching
And you might survive
You're unsuited for
The rage of war
So pack up, go home
You're through
How could I make fighters
Out of you?

DA:
Be fighters

Harry:
We must be swift as
The coursing river

DA:
Be fighters

Harry:
With all the force
Of a great typhoon

DA:
Be fighters

Harry:
With all the strength
Of a raging fire
Mysterious as the
Dark side of the moon

DA:
Be fighters

Harry:
We must be swift as
The Coursing river

First of all: CONGRATULATIONS, LadyA!!! PotterCast #68 is out, and your Moaning Myrtle filk's on the show!!! Wow! Well done! clap.gif I'm so happy for you! I'm still hoping to be on the second part...

I was busy with some more filks. One is called "Musings in the night". It was inspired by the scene in the first movie when Harry is sitting on the window sill in his very first night at Hogwarts. The music I chose is "Abendempfindung" by Mozart (KV 523). Unfortunately, I don't play the piano and I haven't got the accompaniment to this song. If there is someone out there who's got an mp3-file (or can make one) and could send it to me I would be so grateful (I can send you the scores, if necessary)! For a start, I have recorded the filk without any accompaniment (see beneath).

Then I wrote a second filk, also very gloomy. It is about Ginny mourning the loss of her relationship at the end of book 6, and it's called "The Life I Lived". I wanted to write a filk for "I Dreamed a Dream" from the musical Les Misérables, because I simply love that song and always cry whenever I hear it. It was a TOIL somehow, it did not start out well, but I worked hard on it for several days, and now I'm quite contended.

I wonder what you think about those, and here they come:

Musings in the Night
************************
tune: Mozart, "Abendempfindung", KV 523
text: by PatFromSwitzerland
situation: Harry sitting at the window of his dormitory, musing over his lucky fait at the first evening in Hogwarts (not knowing what horrors lie before him)

Nighttime falls, the grounds lie still and forlorn
And the moon casts silver light.
How can I even think of those recent hours!
They have passed by in a flight!

Barely can I believe I was locked and mistreated
It is only days away!
I was lonesome then! I Became a shy and
Silent boy, the Dursleys easy prey!

But then there came - a lett'r from Hogwarts school
Am I a wizard, one to be?
Next I was taken by a gian
For the first time in life I’m free!

Now I’m here, a boy like any other
Far away and free from chains!
In this castle full of secrets
Where Dumbledore protects and reigns.

Ghosts, and classes, and owl post
The Common Room, the vaults, the Great Hall’s dome
And Ron, my very first friend ever
It all feels so much like home!
It all feels, it all feels so much like home!

How could this occur to me? How could
A boy like me find finally a place like this?
Oh, thank heaven, I’ve been saved, my past lies behind me
From now on I’ll live in joy and bliss!
Oh, thank heaven, I've been saved, my past lies behind me
From now on, from now on, from now on I'll live in joy and bliss
I'll live in joy and bliss, I'll live in joy and bliss!

You can download the mp3-file right here.


The Life I Lived
***********************
Tune: “I Dreamed a Dream” from the musical Les Misérables
Lyrics: by PatFromSwitzerland
Situation: Ginny is alone after Harry broke up with her at Dumbledore’s funeral and mourns the loss of her relationship

I’ve lived a life of joy and bliss
It felt as endless as an ocean
I still think back and reminisce
About this time of deep emotion

Before, I was shy, full of fear,
Just sure my love was everlastin’
Then, I grew strong and made it clear
That he is mine, and always has been!

But now fate has struck a blow
Closing in, so surreptitious,
Turning happiness to woe
Tearing him and me apa-a-a-art

I wished for years, it had come true
That he and I would get together
When he kissed me out of the blue -
That’s when for good I lost my heart

Now, it cries out in silent screams
My mind fears thinking of the painful
For dest’ny’s shattered all my dreams
So cold, unheeding and disdainful

And yet I can’t believe it’s true
Aft’r all we overcame together
Aft’r all the things we have gone through
(slowing) I hope he will recall that, too.

You can find the mp3-file right here.


Hope you enjoy them and greetings from Switzerland!

I just sort of belted this out in shower last night. It's really bad...but it's about the release of the 7th title and it's to the tune of Joy to the World:

Joy to the World!
The title is here!
Let every fan rejoice!
Let women, men, and children alike
Repeat the breaking news
Repeat the breaking news
Repeat repeat the breaking news

Joy to the World!
It's the Deathly Hallows!
But exactly what does that mean?
Well hallow means holy
And deathly deadly
But does that mean Harry will die?
Does that mean Harry will die?
Oh please oh please don't let him die!

Joy to the World!
The title is here!
But where on earth is the date?
Oh Jo please tell us
When will it arrive
But also take your time
Also take your time
Oh please oh please take your time

Joy to the World!
It's the seventh book!
But what will happen next?
Will Rowling stop writing?
Is it coming to an end?
Will the phonomenon fall?
Oh will the phonomenon fall?
Oh Harry we love you please do-on't fallll!
Ms. Skeeter Assi.
These filks are so funny!! I'm trying to read the whole Part 1 thread. But it's a little hard but the funnyness is GREAT!!! I've tried doing my own but it was challenging.

"You're a Mean One, Professor Snape"



IPB Image


You’re a mean one, Professor Snape
You really are a prat
You’re as cold as a Dementor
And as flighty as a bat
Professor Snape

You're a worthless vampire
With a greasy black cape

You're a monster, Professor Snape
You've got pudding in your viens
You're hair is full a maggots
You're got jello in your brains
Professor Snape

I'd like to beat you with
Professor MacGonagal's cane

You're a Basilisk, Professor Snape
And you prey on every kid
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick giant squid
Professor Snape

Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick Giant Squid

You hate Potter, Professor Snape
You despise his every breath
And though you've saved him for Lord Voldemort
You'll celebrate his death
Professor Snape

You're a rotten cornish pastry and
fungaface sandwich
With bubotuber puss

You're malodorous, Professor Snape
I would vomit with just one sniff
You're a nauseaus, caustic potion
And smell like a hippogriff
Professor Snape

Your soul is an apalling dump heap overflowing
with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable
rubbish imaginable,
Mangled up in tangled up knots.

You're foul one, Professor Snape
You're a pompus, wompus, PUNK!
Your hair is full of greasy locks
You soul is full of junk
Professor Snape

The three words that best descirbe you
are, as follows and I quote, "Git, Prat, PUNK!"

Hi! This is my first time writing a filk. I wrote to Jekyll & Hyde "This is the Moment".

This is the Moment

This is the moment!
This is the day,
When I send all my Death Eaters
On their way!

Every horcrux,
I have made - ever -
Is coming into play,
Is with me now - today!

This is the moment,
This is the time,
When the pain and the suffering
Becomes mine!

Give me this moment -
This precious chance -
I'll gather up my past
And show them all at last!

This is the moment,
When all I've done -
All the dreaming,
Scheming and screaming,
Becomes one!

This is the day -
See it sparkle and shine,
When all I've lived for
Becomes mine!

For all these years,
I've faced the world alone,
And now the time has come
To prove to them
I've made it on my own!

This is the moment -
My final test -
Prophecy beckoned,
I never reckoned,
I’d kill him at last!

I won't look down,
I must not fail!
This is the moment,
The sweetest moment of them all!

This is the moment!
Damn all the odds!
This day, or never,
I'll live forever
Like a god!

When I look back,
I will always recall,
Moment for moment,
This was the moment,
The greatest moment
Of them all!

I just sort of belted this out in shower last night. It's really bad...but it's about the release of the 7th title and it's to the tune of Joy to the World


HPluvr13 - I loved your Joy to the World filk! That is exactly how I feel about the new title!

Hi! This is my first time writing a filk. I wrote to Jekyll & Hyde "This is the Moment".


welcome.gif Hannah - Welcome to the land of Filking! Great job on your first one!

Great job to everyone on the holiday PotterCast filks! I can't wait to listen to round 2 of them!

Yes, Merry New Year everyone! And to who ever posted about the Rocky Harry Potter Picture Show, I can't remember who, but I encourage you strongly to post anything from there that you have come up with so far! That is my favorite movie! I have tried to come up with a filk for the opening song Science Fiction Double Feature Picture Show but have never had time to just sit down and think about it.
RogueDoxy
In Pottercast #57 - Broadway Filks, TheArchduchess wrote a filk based on the Science Fiction song (she called it Crackpot Theory: Restricted Section) Check it out. The lyrics are hilarious!
Overcast
Hi, all! Here's another from me. It's to Justin Timberlake's SexyBack.


VoldyBack

[Verse 1]
I’m bringing Voldy back
Yeah
He’s somewhere out there ready to attack
Yeah
My dear rat friends, they told me where to go
Yeah
The Dark Lord calls, his body he does lack
Yeah

To Albania!

[bridge]
We have a plan
That Potter boy
He better watch his back
Bertha Jorkins told us what we need to know
The Triwizard Tourny is where we’ll get the boy

Time to even the score!

[chorus]
Kill the spare
Flesh, blood and bone
Come here Potter
Flesh, blood and bone
Strap him to the grave
Flesh, blood and bone
Father’s bones
Flesh, blood and bone
Servant’s flesh
Flesh, blood and bone
Enemies blood
Flesh, blood and bone
Got a new body
Flesh, blood and bone
Robe me
Flesh, blood and bone
And I can touch him now
Flesh, blood and bone

I can touch him now
Flesh, blood and bone
[repeat 6 times]

I can touch him now


[Verse 2]
I’m bringing Voldy back
Yeah
Them other Death Eaters are so cowardly
Yeah
The only one to find him was me you see
Yeah
My right hand I’ll give up so willingly
Yeah

My job is done

[bridge]
Death Eaters
You see these Dark Marks
Oh, how they burn
You’re lucky our master is so merciful
Bow down to him as he returns

I confess myself disappointed!

[chorus]
Kill the spare
Flesh, blood and bone
Come here Potter
Flesh, blood and bone
Strap him to the grave
Flesh, blood and bone
Father’s bones
Flesh, blood and bone
Servant’s flesh
Flesh, blood and bone
Enemies blood
Flesh, blood and bone
Got a new body
Flesh, blood and bone
Robe me
Flesh, blood and bone
And I can touch him now
Flesh, blood and bone

I can touch him now
Flesh, blood and bone
[repeat 6 times]

I can touch him now

[verse 3]
I’m bringing Voldy back
Yeah
Harry and our master are about to duel
Yeah
You thought he was gone never to return
Yeah
Voldy’s back and he’ll rule the world
Yeah

Avada Kedavra!

[chorus]
Kill the spare
Flesh, blood and bone
Come here Potter
Flesh, blood and bone
Strap him to the grave
Flesh, blood and bone
Father’s bones
Flesh, blood and bone
Servant’s flesh
Flesh, blood and bone
Enemies blood
Flesh, blood and bone
Got a new body
Flesh, blood and bone
Robe me
Flesh, blood and bone
And I can touch him now
Flesh, blood and bone

I can touch him now
Flesh, blood and bone
[repeat 6 times]

I can touch him now



Hope you guys like it!

Overcast omg I love your filk!!! Especially because when I read it in my head it's like how Justin sings it - so funny clap.gif

Well, I've finally written another filk! It's to Rio by Duran Duran, sang by Ron:

Hermy

Sitting in a classroom, yeah, turning teacakes into mice
Arithmancy, smile, I suppose it's very nice
With a swish to your left and a flick to the right
You levitate that feather, yeah
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best

Her name is Hermy and she raises her hand
Just like the biggest know-it-all in all the land
And when she answers she really says all that she can
Oh Hermione won’t do anything if it’s banned

I've seen you in Charms and I've seen you in Herbology
Cor- recting my homework, it means so much to me
Like winning the match for Gryffindor
But then I'm sure that you know it's you it’s for

Her name is Hermy and she raises her hand
Just like the biggest know-it-all in all the land
And when she answers she really says all that she can
Oh Hermione won’t do anything if it’s banned

Hey now (what?), look at that. Did Krum really ask you out?
At the end of the night, did he kiss you goodnight? Cos then there might be
A fight, a fight, a fight

I'll take my chance 'cause you are on my side
I tell you something I know what you're thinking
I tell you something, I know what you're thinking

Her name is Hermy and she’s always raising her hand
Just like the biggest know-it-all in all the land
And when she answers she really says all she can
Oh Hermione won’t do anything if it’s banned
Her name is Hermy of course she understands
If you want to find oh just look for her hand
Oh Hermione answers all that she can
Okay, she might be doing something slightly banned…

I think this song is a bit better known than The Smiths' ones. Anyway, hope you all like it.

Hi! I have the begining of a filk but im kind of stuck with the next lyrics.

It is to The Saints Are Coming by U2 and Greenday.

There is a house in Hangleton,
They call the Riddle Home
And its a house of many a death
and Voldy caused everyone.

And thats where i get stuck, can anyone help?
Crookshanks_Rocks
It's not really a filk but....
OK Ginny singing 'I will follow him' sorry I have no idea who sang it but I think it would be quite entertaining! tongue.gif
saroca
Well, it'd be brilliant. I thought about that once too.
There is a lot of Wizard Rock around like Harry and the Potters, Draco and the Malfoys, The Whomping Willows, The Moarning Myrtles...
I'd love to hear Draco singing 'My Dad Is Rich', it's a brilliant song from Draco and the Malfoys.
And imagine Mrs. Weasley singing that mellow song from Celestina Warbeck 'A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love'. Haha.
