Do-Re-Mi Redux

Photograph: Boston Public Library Courtyard Fountain, Boston, 2005-09-17, © Nick Varacalli.Maybe I should be posting more professional stuff here to showcase myself while I’m interviewing… … … nah… the world needs to hear about my filking talents. Making up words to songs happens frequently when the only way to calm a screaming baby is singing. Necessity. Father. Invention. Yada. Yada.

Do, some money, a bit of money,
Re, that comedian Dina loves,
Mi, is ½’ve what Beaker says,
Fa, the name of Cesar’s wife,
So, what that you’re crying now?
La, a determinate article in French,
Ti, what mommy takes to work,
… and that brings us back to Do…

Nick… not letting lack of talent hinder necessity.

    My favorite filk of this song is the Homer Simpson one:

    D’oh! A beer, I want some beer,
    Ray, The guy that brings me beer, *
    Me, the guy, that wants a beer,
    Fa, a long, long, way for beer,
    So…when do I get my beer?
    La, la, la, la, la, la beer.
    Tea! What’s this? I wanted beer!
    Which will bring us back to D’oh!

    * Yeah, yeah, Moe is the guy that brings him beer, and Ray is the guy he drinks it with. But I can’t get that to scan.
