Star Wars, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings Filks by GiNnY / ginnyskywalker
Welcome to Magical Melodies, my own little space in the World Wide Web where I archive all my original filks.
What are "filks"? Filks are song parodies or songs with original lyrics written to the tune of another song. They are usually related to the science fiction and fantasy genre or fandom in general. The term "filk" came into being when, at a science fiction convention's programme, "folk music session" was misspelled as "filk music session". The term stuck since then.
I'm switching to a new layout, so if you click on the links above, it may take you to a page using the old layout
or to an error page. But they will all soon be up, so just be patient and keep checking back in. :)
New filks are first published here in the update page (please scroll down!) and later archived. Please use the drop-down menus in the banner to view the archived filks and to get around this site. If you want to use any of my filks for any reason, please do e-mail me first. And don't forget to sign my guestbook!
TOO SEXY FOR A HUTT A parody of "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred
Setting: Jabba the Hutt confidently establishes that, in the words of Christina Aguilera, "I am beautiful, no matter what they say...."
Filker's Note: The concept of this filk was born when Rain decided to play that Sexbomb Girls CD on the way to Joran's hideaway in Zambales....
For the two sexy Stormball birthday celebrants. Heehee. :)

Spoiler alert for: "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones"
Setting: A musical alternative to the lake retreat fireplace confession scene....

ANAKIN: A Jedi should not feel like this. My Master has told me that before. But I am haunted by your kiss. Everyday I suffer more and more.
Since I met you then, you've been in my dreams. Though then you shot down my self-esteem. Now I'm part of a Jedi team.
Oh, I've loved you since that very first time.
Come what may, come what may, I will love you Though my Oath I'll betray.
PADME: Suddenly all I ever see is your face, Amidst the events that are here taking place. But your love is something that I fear to face, Fear I'll truly fall for you.
PADME AND ANAKIN: And there's no planet too far, Galaxy too wide. Call out my name, And I will run to your side. Armies may gather, And clones may abound...
But I love you, Wish you will soon be mine.
Come what may, come what may, I will love you No matter what they say.
Oh come what may, come what may, I will love you... I will love you... Suddenly all I ever see is your face....
Come what may, come what may, I will love you No matter what they say.

SHOW ME THE WAY A parody of "Show Me The Way" by Styx
Setting: In the Council of Elrond, where the fate of the Ring is being decided....
Spoiler alert for: Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring
This filk serves as a confession that Styx is actually a guilty pleasure of mine.
===
FRODO:
In the Council of Elrond, Everyone seems to be fighting. All this just leaves me so confused As they shout and as they bicker. If these heroes are seasoned then I'm but a child, And I simply don't know the way. But they just cannot cast me aside, I'll go though all I have is faith.
Show me the way. Show me the way. I need a guide To the Mountain so I can cast this Ring away. Please show me the way.
Axe and bow and mighty sword, I consider your oaths sacred. Gandalf, and Boromir, and friends, Hope our efforts won't be wasted. As we go on this journey together today, and though we've so far to go, we will keep on hoping we'll get there, though afraid, we'll face our foe.
Show me the way. Show me the way. I need a guide to the Mountain so I can cast this Ring away. Please show me the way.
And though I see his Eye, I still believe we'll get through this, I know.
Show me the way. Show me the way. Please be my guide To the Mountain so I can cast this Ring away. Show me the way. Show me the way. I'll need your strength and your courage, I believe that we will win one day. Just please show me the way.
GANDALF:
In the Council of Elrond, The hope of the world's arisen....

IF HE'S NOT THE CHOSEN ONE A parody of "If You're Not The One" by Daniel Bedingfield
Spoiler alert for: "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace"
Setting: Qui-Gon Jinn defends his side on his bid to train young Anakin Skywalker
For Aids, whose guilty pleasure is the song "If You're Not The One"... even though there is a chance he might not like this filk. :) ====
Qui-Gon:
If he's not the One Why are his midichlorians so high? Why's he the only human to make those podracers fly? If he's not the One who'll fulfill that ancient prophecy, Then why does it seem he was sent to us by Destiny?
He seems to know what the future brings, Yet he lives for the here and now. I'll make it so that he will be the one I share my knowledge with.
I will not send him away And I will train him, You must understand. If he is not the One, Then why does my heart scream how right I am? I will find a way so he can stay and be trained.
If he's not the One then how did he blow up that droid ship? How did he manage to give all of those battle droids the slip? If he's not the One who's sure to bring balance to the Force, then why does it feel right to trust him with our fate and our course?
He seems to know what the future brings, Yet he lives for the here and now. I'll make it so that he will be the one I share my knowledge with. And I will defy the Council if I need to. I'm convinced he's the Chosen One they refer to. On that knowledge I'll stake my life.
I will not send him away And I will train him, You must understand. If he is not the One, Then why does my heart scream how right I am? I will find a way so he can stay and be trained.
Qui-Gon to Obi-Wan:
My apprentice, Promise me you'll train him when my life's faded away. I trust in you, I know that you will find a way for him, come what may. I know that you believe that I am right, And that you'll be taking up the fight. I will always be by your side.
I will not send him away And I will train him, You must understand. If he is not the One, Then why does my heart scream how right I am? I will find a way so he can stay and be trained.
BUSES AND TRAINS A parody of "Buses and Trains" by Bachelor Girl Spoiler alert for "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"
===
Harry:
Hagrid, it's there like you told me. The train's at platform nine and three quarters. It's my transport to the wizarding world I ride grinning like an amateur.
I'm on the Hogwarts Express, I am on the school train, Leave the Muggle world Which is starting to wane. I left the Dursleys I think they're all insane. Oh this feels so good, Don't wanna go back again.
Aunt Marge, she's been so mean to me. I didn't mean to curse her, now she's bloated. Now the Ministry is after me. I know I'll be expelled, I'm afraid, so I ran and fled.
I was found by the Knight Bus, Was picked up in the street. Fell back in surprise, Stan helped me on my feet. Thought I saw a Grim, Hope I've not gone insane. I left Privet Drive, Don't wanna go back again.
By riding on the Knight Bus and the Hogwarts School Train, Leave the Muggle World, Don't wanna go back again. Don't wanna go back again. Hey yeah... Oh, it feels so good. Yeah....
I know, I have no choice. I will have to go back again To the Dursleys, at the end of the year. Because they're the guardians Albus has chosen.
Riding on the Knight Bus and the Hogwarts School Train, Leave the Muggle World, For the magical plane. I left the Dursleys I think they're all insane. Oh this feels so good, Don't wanna go back again.
On the Knight Bus and the Hogwarts School Train, Leave the Muggle World, For the magical plane. I left the Dursleys I think they're all insane. Oh this feels so good, Don't wanna go back again.
On the Knight Bus and the Hogwarts School Train... Leave the Muggle World, Don't wanna go back again.
