In chat the other night, I mentioned how wrong it was to filk certain
musicians of a certain era.  I warned them not to filk James Taylor. 
They threatened. They neenered.  They took away my margarita.

I know they're going to do it.  I've been thinking about it night and
day.  I thought about it for 6 hours on Saturday while I sat through a
class on the legalities of special education.  What will they filk? 
What will they do to it?  Poor J.T.!

I was thinking so hard about it, that I accidentally started filking
"Fire and Rain."  Oopsie.

"Aliens and Ghosts" a filk of J.T.'s "Fire and Rain"

Just yesterday morning, I heard my cellular ring,
Mulder, Why can't you ever let me be?
I grabbed pen and paper, and I wrote him this note
I just can't remember where he said he'd be (this time)

I've seen ships and I've seen ghosts
I've seen Alien crap that would make his hair go flat
I've seen sexy men who I would have done at once
But I never thought that he'd ditch me again

Won't you come on and help me, CC? You gotta help me get a man
You've got to give me just one night of play
Mulder is no good and Melvin's just a fan
I'll have to get it in some other way

Ooh, I've seen ships and I've seen ghosts
I've seen Alien crap that would make his hair go flat
I've seen sexy men who I would have done at once
But I never thought that he'd ditch me again

I've been thinking on back to another time
When I could have had one 
Lord knows in (San) Diego
Detective Kresge, he waits there for fun

Well, there's always some little aliens running round
Mulder, he wants to find 'em
There goes my chance for love
In pieces on the ground

Ooh, I've seen ships and I've seen ghosts
I've seen Alien crap that would make his hair go flat
I've seen sexy men who I would have done at once
But I never thought that you'd ditch me, Mulder,
One more time again
How could you, one more time again?
There're no men coming my way this time around now...
Think I'll ditch you
Think I'll ditch you
Aliens and ghosts now

The end.

I'm so ashamed.
