trailer music - A new filk?

[Carole Estes]

No: HPFGUIDX 13450

I enjoyed the trailer and see that the usual flood of emails has started
again.  This happens with every new Harry Potter event.  I felt inspired to
poke a little fun at the process.  I hope no one gets too offended.  Maybe
just a little offended.  By the way, what does filk stand for?  I write a
lot of silly songs, but I didn't know there was a name for it.


Sung to the tune of "Lucille" by Kenny Rogers

You picked a fine time to start a new film  (New words by Randy Estes)

I woke up this morning
And glanced at the email
And saw that everyone has a new rash.
They saw a new trailer
Then the comments start flailin'
You know they're actin' just like "trailer trash" !

It'll take a long time to release this film !!
With four movie trailers and a few hundred stills.
Harry's had some bad times, and lived through some sad times
But the fans need to all take a pill !
It'll take a long time to release this film!
