Because of the recent thread on OT Chat complaining about Filks 
without midis, I've remedied my most recent Filk (with subtle 
changes). I think this is how you do it, but I'm not sure.

The Order's Naming Song
>From Chapter Four of OoP – "Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place". To the 
tune of "The Philosopher's Drinking Song"(1) by Monty Python.

HARRY: Is anyone going to bother telling me what the Order of the 
Phoenix – ?
HERMIONE: It's a secret society. Dumbledore's in charge, he founded 
it. It's the people who fought against You-Know-Who last time.
HARRY: Who's in it?
HERMIONE: Quite a few people –
RON: We've met about twenty of them

(Music) 
HERMIONE:
Nnnnymphadora Tonks can change her conk 
Whenever she feels able, 
RON:
Alastor, Alastor is a paranoid old bastard
Who can see right through the table. 
Sturgis Podmore will go through the wrong door
And officially become the first prisoner of war.(2)
HERMIONE:
And Dedalus Diggle may make you giggle,
But his wizarding skills are fabled. 
BOTH:
There's nothing Hestia couldn't `fess to ya
'Bout the swishing of the wrist.
Kingsley's busy coaxing other Aurors to enlist... 
RON:
Mundungus Fletcher could probably fetch yer
Tentaculas off the back of a Mediwizard stretcher, 
Remus J, so they say,
Gets a little bit hairy every twenty-eighth day. 
HERMIONE:
Arabella, Arabella cannot do a magic spell-ahh!
Hagrid's fond of a dram, 
BOTH:
And Severus Snape in his batwing cape.
Is a greasy, hook-nosed ham!

THE READER (to herself) 
Sirius, himself, is particularly missed,
A real shame that the bookies weren't expecting that plot twist!.

(1)Probably known in America as "The Sorcerer's Drinking Song"
(2) Ron is making one of his "comedy" predictions here.
