There are a lot of filksongs that are not overtly offensive to religious
people.  As far as vampires, I don't know any Mormons that consider them a
"religion."  Being a Mormon myself, I guess I'd have to say I know something
about the topic.
 
I've also been a filker for about 20 years, so I guess I know a thing or two
about filk, also.  ;)

On the other hand, the rule appears to have merely required being *resident*

Subject: Poking fun at religion in filk?

Mike,

   I'm not sure if I misunderstood what was dicussed (lack of quoting... ;-),
but I think picking on religion is fairly common in filk.  This is not
necessarily a statement of supporting it, but it's fairly evident in
songs like _Xenophobia_ (Sutton), 90% of what Fish has written, etc...

   I dare say I've sung songs such as _Brother Christian_ and will probably
learn _Fundies_ as soon as I can copy it from Fish; not meant in order to
insult people who are piously devoted to their religion and are, IMHO, quite
worthy of praise for their devotion, but rather in order to do my best
to further insult the Fundie contingent (best described by Kanef's song
_Censors_), which I dare say I have little regret insulting...

Try your local record store, and look it up in the Schwann Catalog;
that lists just about everything that comes out, even on obscure labels.
(Not filk, tho'.) Once you know what label it's on, you can write to the
company and ask if they still have it, and how to get it.

No, just a larger dose of LDS!

OK - the segment of "Han's Breitmann's Ride to Church" at the start of "The
Incarnation of Krishna Mulvaney" goes:

"Wohl auf, my bully cavaliers,
  We ride to church today,
The man that hasn't got a horse
  Must steal one straight away.
 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Be reverent men, remember
  This is a Gotteshaus.
Du, Conran, cut along der aisle
  And schenck der whiskey aus."


While the bit of "Han's Breitmann's Ballads" that introduces "With the Main
Guard" goes:

"Der jungere Uhlanen
Sit round mit open mouth
While Breitmann tell dem stdories
Of fightin' in the South;
Und gif dem moral lessons,
How before der battle pops,
Take a little prayer to Himmel
Und a goot long drink of Schnapps."

Oh - so THAT'S what they make it from!  :->

   I don't know when she'll be writing a song about it, but I think there
is a blatant fish filk waiting to be written.  Although Mary hasn't yet
given me permission to post parts of Leslie's response to my fan letter
to her a while back (even though Fish said I can post whatever I d*mn
well please any where I d*mn please, I'll still wait for Mary's permission...
;-), there's a part right after she went to college, and she decided she'd
stay in Chicago and be involved in the civil rights movement, etc, in which
her mother came up and tried to convince her to return to New Jersey
and, "marry the lawyer of her choice."
   Do you know the song Gil Shallos?  "Marry a doctor and raise some kids,
that's what your parents said..."  "Marry a lawyer and raise some kinds,
that's what my mother said..."  The parody is just _waiting_ to be written...

I suppose that after the arch-lute, one can become a member of
the...... St. Lutest Cardinals...  8-)
