Songworm: Bob Kanefsky's filk parodies
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,
here's what I suggest. Since I've rarely written parodies of pop songs
(except in my early days, and those aren't very good), you may have
trouble finding good parodies of anything you know. One song I'd
suggest looking at is
"People Who Eat People".
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.
What's New
What's new is that I've finally added a What's New page listing the most recent songs I've parodied.
How to find something on this site:
You can:
- look up parodies by title
if you happen to know the title.
- see whether I've parodied
songs you know.
- find out what I've parodied by
your favorite songwriter or performer.
- look through tapes and CDs you own
and see if they have songs that I've parodied.
- use this search box (to find anything but recently added pages):
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.
I mostly have parodied original
filk songs by people in the
filk community, which is more fun because I can watch their reaction. If you're
not a filker, you'll find only a few parodies here that are of songs you might
know. Still, in many cases you'll be able to find exactly where to go
to find the original source songs if you're curious about them.
Just go down the 
wormholes.
