Songworm: Bob Kanefsky's filk parodies

This site is a fairly complete collection of my parodies. I usually write parodies original filk songs by people in the filk community, which is more fun because I can watch their reaction. Occasionally I've parodied pop and folk songs.

This site exists primarily to make my parody lyrics and information available to the people who are looking for them, including those who have Roundworm. Use the words in the colored staves above to navigate. If you've stumbled across this site by accident, but are curious, you'll find only a few parodies here that are of songs you might know (although there's a button to help you find the original lyrics), but it might help to look at songs tagged with POP and with topics that interest you. Or you can listen to some of my parodies online at mp3.com/songworm. I'm told some of them are still funny even if you don't know the originals.

How to find something on this site:

Many of my parodies of filk songs and have been recorded (often by the original filk songwriters) on a slick studio CD called Roundworm, which is now for sale online. Other parodies have appeared on various tapes from conventions where someone sang them in a concert. The Tapeworm series is out of print, but will be rereleased soon (probably during the 21st century) as a Flatworm CD set.
