Give your favorite Christmas songs a magic twist! Make a fantasy filk*! Will also take other December holidays songs (Dreidel Song, etc.)

*A filk is a parody of an existing song written on a new theme, much like Weird Al Yankovic's music.

PRIZES

1st: Wizard's Wand
2nd: Troll Ears (your choice of sea, forest, or hill)
3rd: The Masque


If no one else enters, everyone gets a Wizard's Wand


RULES

You can change your entry... but not completely, only small changes.

You can only enter one filk

You can't vote for yourself with your mules

You can't reserve a spot



EXAMPLE

Coming Soon

Rocking Around The Hogwarts School (to the tune of "Rocking Around The Christmas Tree")
Not practicing a single spell
While the suits of armor hop
Mistletoe floats with golden bells
Every student tries to stop

Wingardium leviosa,
Let the Christmas spirit fly
Later we'll have some pumpkin juice
Poke a sleeping dragon’s eye

You will get a terrifying
Feeling when you hear
Voices shouting, “Watch out for the
Troll that’s running down there yonder!”

Rocking around with the Weas-e-lys
Have a “Harry” holiday
Everyone laughing merrily
With a flying Santa sleigh

(Sax instrumental break)

You will get a terrifying
Feeling when you hear
Voices shouting, “Watch out for the
Troll that’s running down there yonder!”

Rocking around with the Weas-e-lys
Have a “Harry” holiday
Everyone laughing merrily
With a flying Santa sleeeeeeeigh!

Foem (To the tune of O Tannenbaum)

F-o-E-M,
F-o-E-M,
you always are amusing.
F-o-E-M,
F-o-E-M,
you always are amusing.
I laugh at all the jokes i'm told,
I'm glad to meet new friends and old;
F-o-E-M,
F-o-E-M,
you always are amusing.

F-o-E-M,
F-o-E-M,
you captivate my fancy.
F-o-E-M, F-o-E-M,
you captivate my fancy.
Your stories make my spirits soar,
They always thrill, and never bore.
F-o-E-M,
F-o-E-M,
you captivate my fancy.

F-o-E-M,
F-o-E-M,
you brighten up my Christmas.
F-o-E-M,
F-o-E-M,
you brighten up my Christmas.
When nights are cold and days are drear,
It's nice to know these friends are near.
F-o-E-M,
F-o-E-M,
you brighten up my Christmas.

Little Fly Boy (Tune of Little Drummer Boy)

Fly they told me
Fla flap flap flap flap
A new pair of wings to use
Fla flap flap flap flap
He worked so hard on them
Fla flap flap flap flap
So I may use them well
Fla flap flap flap flap
Flap flap flap flap
Flap flap flap flap
So to honor him
Fla flap flap flap flap
I will use
Them well
Fla flap flap flap flap
I was a flightless boy too
Fla flap flap flap flap
Until he gave me wings
Fla flap flap flap flap
Now I swoop all day
Fla flap flap flap flap
Flap flap flap flap
Flap flap flap flap
Shall I pull G’s for you
Fla flap flap flap flap
With my wings

This carol was actually written by my sister for a contest a few years ago. I thought this a good time to share this carol which made us all laugh. I hope all who read it enjoy it. biggrin
Saphira the Dragon

(Sung to Frosty the Snowman)

Saphira the dragon
is a beauty to behold
with sparkle eyes and jewel blue scales
and a spiky six foot tail

The dragons of old
are a fairy tale they say
They were made of dreams
But it would seem
That they came to life one day

There must have been a hatchling
in that odd blue stone he found
For when he brought it home that day
it began to bounce around

Saphira the dragon
blew a puff of pretty smoke
The dwarves would tell
she could drink as well
and it made a quite good joke

Saphira the dragon
knew the hunt was hot that day
So she said lets fly
now to say good bye
to the friends from better days

Off to the forest
with her rider on her back
She soared over the trees, and like a swarm of bees
the Urgals followed fast

She plunged right in the canopy
passed fir trees large and tall
and didn't even pause a moment
through a freezing waterfall

Saphira the dragon
knew she could not stay
so she snapped and burned
until all concerned
were hurried on their way

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Saphira fly
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Through the moonlit sky
