Occulmancy Lesson/New Evil Nature (filks)

[Caius Marcius]

No: HPFGUIDX 72287


It was decided that Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings [both members 
of Guess Who] would take the same chord progression and individually 
write a melody and lyric. From this exercise came two songs: "No 
Sugar Tonight" by Randy and  "New Mother Nature" by Burton . The 
original idea was that they would be two separate tracks in 
rehearsing them, the band found that one complemented the other and 
acted as a counterpoint melody

-	from the liner notes to Guess Who's American Woman CD

Gail had the idea of each of us filking one of the Guess Who "twin" 
songs No Sugar Tonight and New Mother Nature. I selected New Mother 
Nature, and Gail took No Sugar Tonight. We wrote these independently 
one of one another, but one of us - probably Gail ;)   - must have a 
some skill in Legilimency, given how closely the two songs connect 
thematically



Occulmancy Lesson/New Evil Nature (OOP, Chap. 21, 24 & 26)

A FILK by Gail Bohacek to the tune of No Sugar Tonight and by CMC to

SNAPE: 
Obscure magic of defense 
'Gainst intrusion and influence 
Now the Dark Lord is aware 
Thoughts and feelings you both share 

I'll teach you because it's my duty 
I'll teach you 'cause D'dore asked me 
I'll teach you though I think you're lazy 
I'll teach you Occulmancy 

   Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
   Da-un-do-dow dow no no
   Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
   Da-un-do-dow dow
   Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
   Da-un-do-dow dow no no
   Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
   Da-un-do-dow dow etc.... 

Control feelings, clear your mind 
Calm emotions and you will find 
You'll repel me, let's begin 
Brace yourself now, Legilimen! 

I'll teach you because it's my duty 
I'll teach you 'cause D'dore asked me 
I'll teach you though I think you're lazy 
I'll teach you Occulmancy 

  
HARRY
Dumble says yes and I believe him
When he talks about how I'm possessed
I haven't got my legs, on the floor I'm weavin'
I'm a serpent if you haven't guessed 
I slither along in this place I have come to
I see a man I truly like
He's the father of Ron, but full of venom,
I rear my head back and then I strike

`Cause it's my new Evil Nature takin' over
It's the new Dark Lord Harry come to call
It's my new Evil Nature takin' over
I'm bitin ' you all
I'm hatin' you all

Candles ablaze and my hands like spiders
I'm lording over the DEs 
It don't look good for our pal Rookwood
`Cause that wimp is beggin' on his knees
My curtained room with an ancient mirror,
Augustus, you are off the hook
But for Avery now it does not Bode well
Bad advice is one thing I'll not brook

Cause it's my new Evil Nature takin' over
It's the Lord Harry, heir of Slytherin 
It's my new Evil Nature takin' over
Please don't let me win
Please don't let me win

{both verses sung simultaneously)

SNAPE: After two months 
HARRY: Dumble says yes and I believe him 
SNAPE: No progress 
HARRY: When he talks about how I'm possessed 
SNAPE: Does he enjoy
. 
HARRY:  Ron hears me thrash and scream in my bedclothes 
SNAPE: 
..Being possessed? 
HARRY: He sees that I'm a tad distressed 
SNAPE: It's becoming
. 
HARRY: I'm driven back now to one conclusion 
SNAPE: 
.Tedious 
HARRY: Need to learn this Occlumency 
SNAPE: Harry has to
..
HARRY: But Snape is all wrong and I end my song 
SNAPE: 
.Stay focused 
HARRY: Pleadin' hard to win some clemency

BOTH: Before my/his new evil nature takes me over
`Before Death Eater Harry come to call
Before my/his new evil nature takes me over
I'm/He's  beggin' you/us all
I'm/He's  beggin' you/us all

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow no no, etc
