Hi. This is sprite's page of filk, except that nothing currently on this page would actually qualify as "filk" by a strict definition, so I might as well say "song parodies" instead. (If you would like to know more about filk. try this links page. If you are already too confused, keep reading.)

In the copious free time left after all the other things I do in my copious free time, I write song parodies for my own entertainment. I also play guitar, but not where anyone can hear me. [Ok - at least part of that is a lie.]

"new"

• TTTO Folk Song Army (every time someone mentions the Open Source Movement, I think of the Alice's Restaurant movement, and think they need something to sing a few bars of. But something more singable than this.)

"Disaster"

• None of the Others are Leaving [Banks of Sicily] - The Wean Hall roof fire

Furry Animals

• People are Odd [People are Strange]

"Food"

• Olean [Jolene] - do not read this over lunch.

Computers --- These first ones aren't totally obscure.

• A Core for Ecclesiastes [To Everything There is a Season]
• All Nighter Hell [Women & Men]
• Java [Cecelia]
• News-server On a Cloud [Castle on a Cloud]
• Bits on the Web [Dust in the Wind] - needs work :-b

More computers --- This next set is probably totally obscure. Songs may require arcane knowledge of computer science or the CMU CS graduate program.

• Algorithms Tango [Masochism Tango]
• The Ballad of 15-740 [Ballad of Davy Crockett]
• Cubish Duckie [Rubber Duckie]
• Closer to Done [Closer to Fine]
• P-time in a Bottle [Time in a Bottle]
• Sound of Zephyrs [Sound of Silence]
• Zephyring is Painless [Suicide is Painless]

I also collect computer songs written by other people. (I don't put them on the web, but some more-thorough collectors do; see Computer Songs and Poems or NetSongs.) )
