FILK: Who Put the Fun?

[quigonginger]

No: HPFGUIDX 149115

I cried out for a muse, and SSSusan came to my rescue.  I had 
asked "Wouldn't 'Confunding Cormac' make a good name for a band?" and 
she suggested I filk it.  This grew from that.  

I'd also like to thank Steve and his excellent Lexicon for putting 
the spells (with correct spelling) at my fingertips.  (I learned a 
lot of interesting things on that spells page, and I highly recommend 
it.)

To Steve and SSSusan

To the tune of Who Put tht Bomp by Barry Mann

A first solo for Adalbert Waffling, author of "Magical Theory"

Adalbert writes the prologue for his book.  He sings:

I'd like to thank the witch
And wizard, too,
Who made the spells that
Have enamoured me.

Who put the Fun 
In Confun Confundus fun?
Who was the Imp behind
Imp Imperious?
Who was the Pro 
Who cast Pro Pro Protego?
All of these things 
Make me so curious.

How did they know
I'd like to Accio?
They put the Lumos 
Into life for me.

First time that I heard
"Levi Levi 
Levi Levianimus"*
Every word sent flight to my heart.
And when I heard them laughing:
"Ricta Ricta Ricta Ricta
Ricta Rictusempra",
I knew this book I had to start.

Who put the Fun 
In Confun Confundus fun?
Who was the Imp behind
Imp Imperious?
Who was the Pro 
Who cast Pro Pro Protego?
All of these things 
Make me so curious.

How did they know
I'd like to Accio?
They put the Lumos 
Into life for me.

Each time that I am cold,
Incendi Incendi Incendi 
Incendi Incendi Incendio
Sets my fireplace all aglow.
And when I make a mess I
Scourgi Scourgi Scourge
Scourgi Scourgify and
It cleans so well, my wife won't know.

Who put the Fun 
In Confun Confundus fun?
Who was the Imp behind
Imp Imperious?
Who was the Pro 
Who cast Pro Pro Protego?
All of these things 
Make me so curious.

How did they know
I'd like to Accio?
They put the Lumos 
Into life for me.

Using a nifty background music spell, Adalbert causes the chorus to 
repeat itself, and speaks over it:

Students: Aloha, Aloha to Alohamora. And my learners: Colloportus to 
ignorance forever.  And when I say Enner Ennervate your minds, I mean 
it to the Finite Finite Finite Incantatum.

Background music continues and fades.


Ginger, sure that Confundus would be fun.

*I made that one up:  I think it means "lift your heart".  Or I could 
be wrong.
