Camp Sick!Wilson: Filk Song Challenge
Good morning campers! Welcome to Session 4 of Camp Sick!Wilson. I will be your counselor.
For today's challenge:
If you have not participated in camp before, or in a filk writing activity, you may be asking yourself, what is a filk song?
According to Urban Dictionary:
Filk - The art of changing published and/or known music lyrics to fit a specific theme. Different lyrics sung to a well known tune.
A well-known example is: Jingle bells, Batman smells. Weird Al Yankovic has made a career out of writing and singing songs like these. (The song in the challenge video, "Addicted To Spuds," is by Weird Al; it's a parody of "Addicted to Love" by Robert Palmer.)
With regard to this community, the filk song must be sick!Wilson related.
You'll find plenty of examples at Camp Sick!Wilson Scrapbook - 2012 from last year's camp.
Have fun!
Edit: Just to clarify, in case it wasn't clear, this is a song lyric writing challenge. (The vids are merely decorative.)
