Filking is very cool. From what I understand, the term came from a mispronunciation (deliberate or not) of "folk", as in folk songs. Filking is singing songs with science fiction and fantasy themes. Personally, I've never been present for live filking, but I've heard some tapes. Some of the songs can get really bawdy, but they are generally very clever - imagine a group of people like those of us who frequent this forum, musically inclined and writing songs about the characters and situations in the things most of us here read and watch. Has possibilities, eh?
