You fabulous filkers, you

Sounds Like: What do filks sound like? Well, for starters filks have been around since the 1950's. The actual word 'filk' was coined when folk was misspelled in a newspaper essay by Lee Jacobs. In the decades to come, filking has become popular during sci-fi/fantasy conventions.

Basically, you take a song you like (or come up with an original if so inclined) and come up with lyrics to fit whichever topic you want to sing about. Therefore, filks can sound like anything you want. This show only plays Harry Potter based filks. It doesn't matter what genre of music you choose. It just has to be about something in the HP fandom.
