Actually... no! <<grin>>

The original words only have ONE line, and you're inserting two...

Yo ho heave ho                            Happy Birthday (*)
Yo ho heave ho                            Happy Birthday (*)
Pull together,                            Hear the women wail and weep
                                          Kill them all and save the sheep
Yo ho heave ho.                           Happy Birthday

See? Still one extra line! And it's now an asymettrical form of 5 lines, 
rather than the original of 4 lines.

Now, yes, it does work... but if you tried to tell someone "Just play
"Volga Boatmen" and I'll sing the words", then you'll both end up making
fools of yourselves. 

I would suggest, for balance, that when this is performed your way you add
an instrumental yo-ho or Happy Birthday line at the end... it'll make things
a bit easier and more fluid, and avoid making the last line sound like an
afterthought.

(Great ghu! Who would have thought a simple song could get so complicated?)

Hi there.  First time trying to post from this #$%! acct,
so please excuse any flubs.

My name is Harold Feld, aka in the SCA Yaakov HaMizrachi (hello all
you fellow SCAdians!).  Put me on the list of people for whom it
is o.k. to reproduce/post stuff (I saw a request for my Horsetammer's Daughter 
filk a little while ago which I'll be happy to respond to if there is
still interest.)
One thing, if anything of mine is reprinted in a song book, I'd like a
free copy.  Last year, the people at Con-Chord used some of my stuff
(apparently taped at Chicon) in the filk book without asking permission
first.  Please don't do this again.

On a completely different note, I'm in charge of filking aqt Arisia.
(Sorta, I front for Spence. It's a long story.)
In any event, I am interested in what people would like to see as
part of filk programming.  Pannels? (What type?)
Workshops?  A brainstorming session?  Please send on suggestions.

Oh yes: Spence-- If you read this, please conatct me ASAP!!
I *NEED* a contact number for Cynthia McQuillion and Dr Jane
in order to make travel and programing arrangements.

Finally, as it would be rude to leave w/out a filk:

Jamie Dawson was the captain of the Christian and its crew
And he really hates the name because he is a pious Je
Now everyone in space thinks Jamie Dawson is a goy

New from St. Iggy: 
 
HOW CAN I KEEP FROM FILKING? 
(Note: After writing the first three verses and performing this at a 
contest for best song written at the WorldCon, deservedly won by 
someone else, I was informed that there had already been a parody of 
"How Can I Keep From Singing" with the same general theme.  After being 
soundly thrashed at competition, and deservedly so, I wrote the fourth 
verse to round things off to a decimal point somewhere near.) 
 
My life flows on from con to con 
Fueled by mundane employment 
Those fvew weekends I spend at cons 
Are my only enjoyment. 
For in the huickster's room by day, 
The fans I will be bilking. 
And from the night until the dawn 
How can I keep from filking? 
 
There is so much pretentiousness 
That truth, it hardly liveth 
But what a tool to break balloons 
The pin of satire giveth! 
If you are sure that love is grand, 
Of think that Elvis is still king, 
My heart cries out to sing to you: 
How can I keep from filking? 
 
Filk started out as parody; 
Since then it's left that pigeonhole. 
Though parody's still popular, 
Many tunes are original. 
As each new tune's a wondrous thing 
For parodists to be milking, 
When fans take their songs seriously, 
How can I keep from filking? 
 
The cost is high, the gain is low 
Attending filk conventions. 
Indeed, it seems the road to filk's 
Paved with the best intentions. 
One thought boils over from my skull 
And leaves my brains a-spilling - 
Deliver me from sin; pray tell, 
How CAN I keep from filking?

Hallo,
I really like Marillion (especially the Clutching at straws album),
but do you really a think it's worth a new group?
Aren't there enough?
I hate having thousands of groups, so this will be my last posting here :-((

Have fun,
	Holger.

I heard one Marillion album about eight years ago and was impressed.
I've not heard anything since, but would like to check it out.

--Is there agreement on the "best" first album to hear?

--A friend has about a dozen live Marillion tapes. Should I listen to those
first? (Many deadheads would say that your first experience with the Dead
should be a tape, not an album).

Hope I'm not copying all the previous file, sorry if I am.

There was a posting about which album is best. . . OK.
I would have to say that FUGAZI is probably right up there. It is a very angry
album, I like it a lot more in high school. I still like it because it's
probably got more energy than any other.

The new albums (w/out Fish) are hard to classify. I have a friend who thinks
they are no good anymore, but I think they are OK still. On Holidays In Eden
"Dry Land" is by far the best cut. "Rakes Progress" is pretty good, why are the
best songs less than a minute?

Tell your friends this group is here, I've been sending the first post to my
friends to let them know it's here.
