[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: "Pickled Toadies" Nominations

[alex fox]

I really don't know if this counts, but my vote for "other" is Waterlily12's parody of the Lumberjack song....The Biggerstaff Song... It is in the "Rhythm and Rhyme" section of FA right now , and if you haven't read it , you're missing out!

I want to join in and say my picks.  I do want to say, I am an amateur
filker at best, so my criteria for a good filk has more to do with
whether I know the filked tune, the topic of the filk, and how they
match the rhythm of the song.  Really in that order too.  But you
asked for our own favorites, and theses are some of the ones I took
the time to cut and paste in Word to save.


>1.  For best filk of a Rock & Roll song:

Ok.  I know like two Beatles songs, so that field of filks is rather
null and void to my judgment, but I do have one R&R filk I really liked.

Nicole's clever filk to the tune of Alanis Morissette's "Ironic" named:

"Eccentric" about Dumbledore.

>2.  For best filk of a song from a stage or movie musical:

Ahhhhh!  This one is too hard to pick.  Probably because I know
musical songs the best, since I was raised on them.  So I narrowed it
down to two.

Haggridd chose:
> A filk of the song "Dance: Ten. Looks: Three." ("Tits and Ass") from
> the Musical "A Chorus Line.
> "Height Three Foot Ten" by Caius Marcus.

I want to second Haggridd's pick of Caius' wonderful filk listed above
and add this one.  Really they were a tie in my eyes.

Gail B.'s well worked filk to the tune of Les Misérables "The
Confrontation" named:

"The Explanation" about when Snape entered the Shrieking Shack.

> 3.  For best filk of a song from a source other than 1. or 2.:

I'm going to fudge here a bit, since it is from a cartoon.  Granted a
musical cartoon, but hey, Disney should be in its own category.  And
everyone should know I couldn't resist a filk from my beloved Beauty
and the Beast.

Marina's filk of Beauty and the Beast's "It's a Guest" named:

"It's a Book" released on the day we learned when OoP was being released.

Ok that is all from me today.  I am already well immersed in Oscar day
festivities on the E! channel.  Teehee.  There may be no red carpet,
but these entertainment reporters want to be paid so should be
interesting to see what they come up with.  And Joan Rivers is still
doing her show too, so today will be *greatly* entertaining.  :)
