Given the response to my earlier filk I thought maybe it would be worth having a single dumping thread for them in future.

Consider this one a gift to Richard fans from Pella fans.


When you wish upon a star
I will kill you near or far
Everything you've learned to dread
Will come to you

If your heart is in my dream
No process is too extreme
When I cut it from your chest
As warlocks do

Fate's unkind
She brings to those who love
The dread fulfillment of
Their secret hurting

Like a bolt out of the blue
Light burns in and cuts through you
When you wish upon a star
I will kill you


Edit: Have the original too.

When you wish upon a star
I will kill you near or far
Any pain my heart desires
Will come to you

Plunge my fist into your spleen
I will go to the extreme
When you wish upon a star
I will find you

I am mean
Bringing pain to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their headless corpses

Shoot a bolt out of the blue
I will step in and kill you too
If you wish upon a star
I will kill you

Just a quick version I threw together.

What do you think? =D

Not a bad interpretation. There's another one over here as well. It's almost as if they'd planned for us to do this.

The third verse seems a bit force and breaks the flow of the whole song, but it's still hilarious.

Keep up the good work!

I was listening to the song when I wrote it. There's a weird break, kind of a high pitched chorus instead, listen to it, you'll understand xD

Thanks though =D

Is that what is meant by a middle eight?

I've seen someone else make a version of this, but I think yours it better. It fits more with the original tune.

At one point I created the remainder of Richard's 'Locate and butcher your daughter?' 'song', but I don't remember where it is.

The search function is your friend.

No wait, Pella is your friend. The search function is a convenient tool to find posts based on key phrases. Sorry, don't know why I got those two confused. Where was I?

Anyway, while it's not really a filk so much as a poem, as you say, the page before has a brilliant filk of the twelve days of christmas and we can be flexible. Also there's some other versions of Locate and Butcher over here for completeness.

In case some people don't know, a filk is specifically when you take a song and change the words. Anyway, I'm off to butcher other songs. Later people.

Pella is my bitch.

And by 'bitch' I mean I really don't notice she's there unless she's doing something cool, which really isn't that often.

Anywho. Search function doesn't work too well if I can't remember what it was that I wrote to begin with.

Also, I'm pretty certain it was lost in the great forum merge of '07.

You clearly didn't click the link did you. In this case the key phrase is in fact "locate and butcher your daughter"

Obviously.

Still think it's a bit weak....

yay for the music!!!!!!
