Omigod, I'm old enough to remember the tune to this song... Great 
filk, CMC. Now I'm going to allow myself to look *Really Stupid* by 
asking what the word FILK means. I know what a filk IS - it's 
obviously a song parody, and there are many great filks in the 
Potterverse. But why the word filk? I can't find it in my ancient New 
World Dictionary of the American Language. So... is it an acronym?

(should write a filk to the song Something Stupid right about now)
