I had to throw my hat in the ring with this Harry Potter meets the Beatles 
trend.  Everyone's have just been spectacular so far, really, I love them! 
This is the first filk I've ever written, so be gentle. haha.

"A Day In Black's Life"

To the tune of "A Day in the Life" by Lennon-McCartney
There's a MIDI available on this site:

Setting: The shrieking shack at the end of PoA.  Sirius is relating his story 
to Harry.

SIRIUS:
I read the news that day, oh boy,
An "M-O-M Employee Scoops First Prize,"
And though I sat in Azkaban,
Well I just had to laugh.
I saw the photograph.
Upon the shoulder of this boy
There sat a rat that had one missing toe.
It had been twelve years, even so,
At once I knew his name. 
Peter Pettigrew betrayed your parents and left me the blame!

He was at Hogwarts now, oh boy,
And if the Dark Side gathered strength again
He'd strike at you first chance he got,
Hand you to You-Know-Who.
My obsession grew...
I had to stop...him...now.

One night, they brought me food.
As a dog, my vibes were crude.
The Dementors didn't sense me slip by--
Knew I was weak, but not that I was sane.
Slipped through the bars and swam to land.
Everything went as I planned.
With my new-found freedom, I set forth
And headed North, towards the Hogwarts grounds.
Ahhhhhhhh

I watched the Quidditch match, oh boy.
Harry, you fly just like your father did.
This cat you call Crookshanks helped me,
Got me the password sheet,
But Peter faked his death again and tried to make a quick retreat!
You've got to be...lieve...me.
