Well...filk me.

It seems I've been filked. More accurately, Kevin and I have been filked.

What does that mean exactly? For those who do not know, a filk song is, essentially, a usually-humorous song that applies new words to an existing piece of music. In SF/Fantasy fandom circles, the subjects of filk songs are usually favored movies, TV shows, books, games, fanzines, and/or characters from same.

A member of the TrekBBS posting under the screenname/handle "JeremyW" has been creating filk songs for various Trek writers who frequent the forum dedicated to Trek Literature. Kevin and I were among his most recent "targets," with a song based on the recent announcement that we were going to be working with Mike Sussman to write an Enterprise Mirror Universe novel.

"JeremeyW" allowed me to post the fruits of his labor here for your reading pleasure.

WARDILMORE
(performed to the tune of "Goldfinger")

Mirror Hoshi (decked out in gold paint)

Wardilmore!
They're the men, the men with the Midas touch!
An erotic touch!
They got busy fingers!
I'm aroused and want to get it on
The show is on!

Pretty words they'll whisper in your ear
And then they'll have you fear
Because they're about to summon the thunder
And send us all to our deaths!

Wardilmore!
I'm the one
The one to fulfill your lust
Isn't that just?

You'll write my glorious tale
How I took on the Empire and prevailed
I'm the evil empress who'll rule the world
And will want for some wonderful tail

I'm some slutty temptress!
I'm a whore with less class than T'Pol
But I want it all
I want it all
Everything at all
So give me all!
All!

I don't know about you, but I laughed my ass off the first time I read this.

Comments:
So will you and Kevin be in full voice for Shore Leave? Sounds like something that would go down well in the bar :)

No...Dayton or Kevin won't be in full voice for Shore Leave. Dayton wants this song sung to HIM. We're currently looking (or I, as the author of the above satire, am looking) for someone to be 'The Golden Mirror Hoshi Sato' that can sing this for him. As I've mentioned on the Trek BBS, I might just get some friends together, cut a CD with these tracks and send them to Shore Leave so that they can be played and heard for everybody there.

::laughing::

That has to be one of the most creative things I've seen in a long time!

Dayton, I really think people would pay money to hear you and Kevin sing that in Denver. ;)
