Okay, so after seeing Dar live, WildKat and I had to 
finish this filk I've been working on since...well...fest. 
And we haven't done a collaborate filk since about 
this time last year with our Nuns that Say Neener. 
So here it is. I do think it's brilliant, myself. :-)

Oh, and I KNOW that there are men in the OBSSE. 
But since the beginning of time, "he," "him," and 
"man" has been used to mean all of human kind, 
so look at this as me taking a little of that back. 
Oh, and, well, the original lyrics are "I will not 
be afraid of women," SO IT'S NOT LIKE I HAD 
A CHOICE! (Basically, don't hassle me about it. 
Include yourself among the "women" in the song. 
You guys usually do anyhow. :-) )

Emma and WildKat.

They Might Be Crazy (filk of Dar Williams's Cool as I Am)

Yea, there was a time I didn't like our Saint, I liked that Mulder,
I was no Sister then, I was tripping on my heels and using curlers,
And I was afraid, that you all would laugh at me, 'cause I didn't know, but
Then I watched the way St. Scully faces fear and keeps on rising
I find the homepage and find out every woman I then lay my eyes on,
Is so brilliant and has cool nickname
So I turn to you, I'm new, and I feel threatened,

Oh -- They might be crazy, cult though they are, they seemed to like me already,
I will not be afraid of these women, I will not be afraid of these women.

We're at the FF Hut, watch Pteropod dancing, she is drunk,
She is smiling and oh fer a dollar richer
And then I think about our Saint, that's why we are really here
You play the skeptic, saying, "Is it just the shoes and how she looks?"
I say, it's everything and we are not obsessed, we are focused,
And no matter what happens, "she's fine."
And she's the reason why I'll need this show even when it's ended,

Oh -- and we're not crazy, cult though we are, we do it all for charity,
Now I am not afraid of these women, I am not afraid of these women.

Chris tried to make me doubt that she's the best, tried to make her 
look like a little less,
Oh, I love her when your soul is bared, she never really is too scared,
And now it's amazing what what we do and what we say,
The truth is out there, Scully is The One and she keeps on going

So I'm not leaving, I wanna see how much better things can get,
And if it helps, I'd say I drink a little more than I did when we met*
So if you find someone else, bring her along, she'll come back next time,
You look up at the large screen TV and you shake your head and say whoa,
"Hoo-boy, thud, the rest, but I still say that woman has a halo,"
And I look up and say, "Yeah, well she's a Saint,"
And then I go online and Schmoop with OBSSE~, I love the OBSSE,

Oh -- we're Scully lovers, cult though we are, we do it all for each other,
Please do not be afraid of these women, Please do not be afraid of these women.


*less amusing alternate lyrics for under age folk, and practicing mormons-"I 
know a little more than I did when we met,"
