Red Fern (Red.Fern@f1393.n106.z1.fidonet.org) somehow managed to write:


: Please excuse me if I am being ignorant, but would someone here mind
: explaining to me the exact definition of "filk"?

Oh, what a can of worms THAT is.

I can't define it but I know it when I hear it? :)

Intastafilk, TTTO the chorus of King Herod's song...

So you want to know filk?
How do we define filk?
Say that it's a parody
With originality
A folk song or two
And a poem will do
Plus a song about  shoes....
