On , mrw@mrw.noc.demon.net (Mike Whitaker) quoted a post by 
Amanda Marlowe  which hasn't gotten here yet but looks 
like it would be fun to answer anyway:

Sorta - one verse of "Move Over Dr. Frankenstein" is to BFA, as is the 
chorus.

> 2. A Star Trek Filk. Or three. Or Four.
>  of a Voyager filk to "Barrett's Privateers">

Nope, not one.  Not sure why, either - I've picked on other TV fare 
including Blake's 7 and Babylon 5.

> 3. A Tolkien filk
>  count??>

Nope, though I've put "Three rings for the elven kings under the sky.." etc 
to music.  Along with a lot of other people. :->

> 4. A Cthulu filk
> 

Several, of which "Sung From Under The Bed" is my favorite.

> 5. A Unicorn filk
> 

Nopers.  After hearing both the Black and the White Unicorn (also Tom 
Smith's little addition to the genre), I see very little need for me to say 
anything more on the subject. :->

> 6. A Babylon 5 filk
>  but then, I've never let

Several, including the serious "Don't Look Back", and the silly "I Want A 
Bear".

> 7. A MST3K filk
> 

Hmm...  now there's an idea.  Not yet.

And a few of Mike's remarks.

 MW>Personally, I don't believe there *are* standards, but, hey... 
 MW>Try one or more of:
 MW>An X-men filk (seems to be more common in the UK)

Nope.

 MW>A "Before the Dawn" song (in-joke, stop smirking, Sutton)

Nope, but I've added the third song to something that seems to be growing 
the same way (one filker wrote a song about a guy who's furry girlfriend 
was being hustled off to some sort of concentration camp, another wrote a 
song from the girlfriend's pov, and I added one from the terrorist about to 
blow up the tracks in front of the train.  And like BTD, nobody's got a 
name, just a designation.)

 MW>A filk about filking.

A few...
