Yubsie's Yammerings

So there was a post in one of the Doctor Who comms about Trock, which is apparently inspired by Wrock. That would be Timelord Rock and Wizard Rock for those of you not hip with what the kids are up to these days. Aka music about Doctor Who and Harry Potter respectively. Naturally, a question occurred to me. Namely, what exactly the difference between Trock and Doctor Who filk was. I eventually decided to actually ask the question.

The first response asked what filk was. Do kids these days HONESTLY think that the Harry Potter fandom invented the whole fannish music thing? That there might not already be a perfectly good word for it?

I don't even have a lawn yet, I shouldn't be feeling this "damn kids!" :p

So in conclusion, the difference between Trock and Doctor Who filk is... some guy on Youtube made up a name that kinda sounds like truck to me.

This time we get generalized bitterness at Del Rey! To "I Wish I Could Go Back to College" from Avenue Q. :p

I swear there was a reason for this! See!

non_horation: It just delights me beyond all reason that Danny is Atherton Wing
sunshine_queen: i was so thrilled when i saw it.
non_horation: It makes me imagine him belting Build Me Up Buttercup at Inara


So naturally my response was...

( Build Me Up Buttercup )

As if you all needed more proof that I should go to bed earlier. Filk has a BAD habit of ensuing. Like every insane thing I do, I had help from non_horation. This one can also be partially blamed on thecleric007

As sung by Sasame in episode ten...

Yes, I know. I go to bed now. :p
