Serenity²: Star Trading across the shiny 'verse. by citizen

Had that song going through my head for two days now, thought I'd do something useful with it.

Trying so hard not to burst out laughing (coz you know, I am supposed to be working!).

A friend of mine once started going on about this "horrible, offensive" record - turns out she was talking about Star Trekking! I mean, who can't love that song! It's only equal is Adam & Joe's ode to TNG!

Genius citizen, well done! And very nice of you to add the link to guide our lost friends home!

Have got no ticket, If theres still tickets I'm thinking about it, if theres not, then I'm not.
Might try and make that into a full song and post it to the Bluesunroom, I've still got new lyrics popping into my head

Well, I don't know what it stands for (curious to find out, though) but I'd define it as a song written to either original music or to the tune of another song with lyrics inspired by a show, character, book, etc. Fan music.

Thought It might be short for something like Fanfic is fan fiction...
Over thinking things maybe...
usually not my problem

Edit:
Fan Inspired Lyrical Killing perhaps?

Here ya go:

http://home.earthlink.net/~kayshapero/filkdef.htm

OK, short version:

Quote:
Well, it's sort of like folk music. It is a mixture of song parodies and original music, humorous and serious, about subjects like science fiction, fantasy, computers, cats, politics, the space program, books, movies, TV shows, love, war, death. . .

Filk music started off forty or fifty years ago, at science fiction conventions, where people got together late at night to have good old-fashioned folk music song circles. Well, late night circles being what they are, some folks got a little silly and started singing song parodies about their favorite SF books and authors. Fans started writing song parodies about themselves or each other. Some started composing serious songs about favorite topics. Some authors started composing original songs for their books. If the author didn't list a tune, fans made up one. Sometimes two. Sometimes several.

Ooh, nice image.....

Citizen, just remembered that Sean Harry's on holiday so you might not be able to get through. At least, I think he is...ooh, but I also think they're now taking online payments! Anyhoo, hope you do get a ticket - our little gang grows ever bigger!

Dear, kind, Citizen,
Thanks for the floor plans! Just what I needed. Your models look terrific and congrats on the license. Enjoyed your song also. To an existing tune or an original one?

EDIT : Fixed the quote...

Its a species of flat fish that has a thumb shaped mark on its side that is supposed to be the thumb print of Jesus Christ.

I remember it because when I was in cornwall in a fish and chip shop the owner pointed it out to me and said in the strongest cornish accent:
"Do you know what that thar is? that thar's a John Dory, Do you know the story of how it got that mark, tis the mark of jesus"
I swear at the time it was the most surrealist thing...

The lyrics are set to the song Star Trekkin' by the Firm, lunatikat.

I do hope you are here to stay. Hello *waves frantically*.

As your initiation you have to tell us a story like the John Dory story (like Jackanoary - couldn't resist, sory *sic*) Tee hee

Hee hee. Love that song! They used to play it on this funky NPR radio station in Philly Saturday nights when they played "kids music"(really fun stuff). My favourite verse has always been "It's life, Jim, but not as we know it." Just sooo funny.

But, I am thinking Citizen's is MUCH better, and I bet we can come up with more verses!
