Filk Folk music for science fiction fans (Boing Boing tv)

[stefannymence]

Love it! Awesome template, what is it called?

[TangibleImages]

Nice segment. Luv it! There are not enough promos for sci-fi geeks.

[sukamysia]

does anyone know what the "i wanna die like they do in sci fi" song is really called? it sounds interesting and i want to hear the rest.

also not all filkers are that weired.

Yes, Golem100 you are weird because you write filk but that doesn't mean you need psychiatric help.

Yes, milo14564, those people are wacko (said the semi-professional musician who has made the mistake of attending a filk convention).

[KattraBlake]

I like filk music. It is fun and has a free spirit that welcomes new ideas and still very easy to listen to.

Ok, so I wrote a lot of filk, but, please God, tell me that I'm not that weird.

[PleiadesSeven]

I;m not God but do you go around in a corsety s&m outfit with back fat juggling? do your eyes glaze over if someone asks you a question to do with regular civilization socialization & you find yourself doubling back from a place in your mind where you were contemplating exactly how much the shire was worth in comparison to Frodo's armor as in totalling up and calculating labor, crops, hobbitts etc and you'd rather make a song about the hobbitt crop inventory then talk about the "real" world?

[milo14564]

ok, i like sci fi and fantasy and novelty songs and their conventions...BUT those people were just plain wacko.

[Shivemaster]

yeah I heard some filk song (hey there cthulhu) and I thought filk music could be pretty cool. this vid proved me wrong.

[amberchrome]

Of course your mileage may vary.

[theinsidiousfumanchu]

... errr ... wow.

I can't decide whether that was awesome in a very strange way, or strange in a very awesome way.

[PleaseNoBrainrot]

Both.

[theinsidiousfumanchu]

You're right.

It kind of reminds me a little of the Dagon Tabernacle Choir.

[GrigoriZhukov]

@theinsidiousfumanchu consider that maybe the answer is "yes, most emphatically YESYESYES!" Hope that clears it up for you...becasue reality is weirder than filk.
