ROFL!  Wonderful.  This was a keeper!

For a tune, I use "Celito Lindo" (sp?)--you know, the Spanish song with
the "Ay, ay ay ay" refrain. The rhythm of your verses is very close to a
Limerick, and that tune fits Limericks quite well.

For a refrain, you could use:

Ay, ay ay ay,

Private mail informs me the sysop's kid was hit by a car Oct 1 and sent to the

she's a bit busy to pay attention to even the most interesting of hobbies. 
Give her a month or two would be my recommendation.

Yes, they *do* make excellent guests!  We had them over at FourPlay (the
4th British Filk con in January this year) and they are superb - both as
guests, entertainers, and 'just people'.  They gave us a very nice
write-up in the Filking Times, as well...

Well, you got the name right.  But a knight? Hardly! (Heck, I only recently aut
authorized.  Remind me to post my epic poem on the problems of fighting
sometime when I have the %^&! thing in front of me.)  As for the reason
for the name, it's a long story and not exactly on topic.)

My thanx.  I have gotten in touch with Cindy & Dr Jane and look forward to
meeting them in the flesh. (I actually met Dr Jane in Brighton at Conspiracy 
'87 but I don't expect her to remember.)  They were fun to talk to on the 
phone and I expect they will make excellent guests.  In addition to panels, 
they will do 2 concerts: 1 Saturday evening and 1 Sunday morning. (Not to 
mention filking all night!)
Personal plug- Cindy's next tape-- The Cat Came Back-- is done and should
be out soon.  I say 'personal' because I have a song on it (written in
conjunction with Claire Meir, Greg Baqker, and Carol Kabakjian).

Thanx all for the suggestions, keep 'em coming.

  A fight song is a song sung at sporting events by fans.  Normally, such
songs refer to the crushing defeats the fan's team will inflict on the
opposition (for a somewhat more civilized version, try and find Tom Lehrer's
"Fight Fiercely, Harvard" <g> ).

  (It is my understanding, based on television, that British soccer fans
skip fight songs and go directly to fights.  <sorry, couldn't resist> ).

Dead yuppies
Dead yuppies
Dead yuppies make my day
 
They are pompous, cold, and crass
Don't give a <insert favorite expletive> 'bout the lower class
Dead yuppies make my day

           Tune: "Number Three", They Might Be Giants
 
There's only two books in me and I just wrote the third
Don't know where I got the plot from or how I wrote the words
Spent my whole life just digging up a grave for my career
For the two books in me and the third I've got right here
 
An agent just told me he couldn't make a deal
An editor just told me that he couldn't buy my book
Now I can't find a publisher who wants to take a look
 
'Cause there's just two books in me and I just wrote the third
Don't know where I got the plot from or how I wrote the words
Spent my whole life just digging up a grave for my career
For the two books in me and the third I've got right here
 
So I went to New York City and I asked a famous pro
Has he ever gotten writer's block and found the words won't flow
He just started talking like he was at a con
"If there's just two books in you boy, you better just run along."
 
So I got myself a 'puter and a feline or three
And I still asked the ladies if they would sleep with me
But I've got to keep my day job for I'll never make it big
'Cause there's just two books in me and this makes a trilogy

I've noticed that lots of things scan to Fish/Lackey's 'Threes'.
What elevates this from the cute to the amusing is making appropriate
choruses.  Here's a sample: Scotsman's Threes (better title wanted)
Since the words of Scotsman are copywrited, I shall not print them.

Tune: Threes by Fish/Lackey

(Insert first verse of Scotsman)

Three things have no bottom, first the ocean's briny dregs
The depths George Bush will sink to
And a Scotsman's hollow leg

(insert 2nd verse)

Three things are most curious, the cat both tame and free
The logical first officer
And 2 girls out on spree

3rd verse

Three things when they grow large may make a woman glad inside
A bony babe, a bank account, and a Scotsman's mighty pride

4th verse

For three things he deserves a prize, for what he put away
The volume of his snoring and his marvelous display

5th verse

Three things it is better far that you should never know:
Just what you drank, just where you slept, and how you got that bow!

Well, we all survived organizing our first con!  Membership was very good at
170+/- a few.  We can pay the bills.  Everyone had a great time in spite fo
the hotel.  My only questions is can we live up to this one?
 
Con-Chord 9 plans are already under way.  Dave Clement is confirmed as GoH and
Molly Bennett as TM.  (Molly hosts the Bawdy Songs track at the Los Angeles
Dulcimer Festival & is also a mean bodhran/tin whistle/bones player. 
 She's
lots of fun!)  Ghu willing, Joe & Cher Bethancourt will return (with their own
sound system--don't ask).  We are seriously looking for a new hotel as we've
outgrown the Holiday Inn capacity.  Info to be posted as we can confirm it.
 
Thanks to everyone for coming!  If not for all of you, this con could not have
turned out so well.  Hope to see you next year!
 
P.S. Con-Chord memberships are now $25.00 through Consonance 1993. 
 Higher later.  Supporting $10.00 forever.

And having just listened to _Bedlam Cats_, I recommend it strongly;
it's a good anthology tape with a nice mix of singers and song-styles.

Are there tapes from Tom Smith other than "Who Let Him In Here"?  Or songs
of his on other tapes?  Did he ever do a songbook?   (I like this guy.. :)

 I will wait till four-armed Kali      I have gotten in the way-o
 Drags me thru that lonesome valley    Walkin' with the Monster Slayer
 She's disgusting act-u-all-y          He is worthy of a prayer
 But She's good enough for me!         And he's good enough for me!

 Oh, there's none like Huizlipochtli   The Kachinas of the Hopi
 For destroyin' people tot'ly          Dance about and some act dopey
 Best to worship -him- remotely!       They don't leave you feelin' mopey
 But he's good enough for me!          So they're good enough for me!

Heh heh heh... This is what I tagged onto the end of "BFA - The Next Generation"
by Bob & Brenda Daverin. 'Twas in a filk file on in one of the GEnie SFRT 
libraries...

"We're singing "Banned From Argo" for all time!
"Banned From Argo"... And we're runnin' out of rhymes.
 I hope this is the last 'Star Trek' to make it on TV,
 And we can ban this song from filks eternally!


A suggestion... perhaps "Bastard Children of Argo" should include 'one-
shot' showstoppers like these as well?
