1. It's called filking. I don't know where the term came from, but it's fairly common at geekfests like
comic and sci-fi conventions.

4. Thats really filked up!
I never go that far.
Normally I just perv up a lyric or two.

Run Around- Blues travelers
Why you wanna give me a reach(run)-around
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down

9. I'm either too weird at it or too blatantly sexual.
Which is true filk, neh?

Search the DU for "mohair over the painflow", a phonetic take on "Somewhere over the rainbow".

I once did the entire "Tiny Tunes" title lyrics, and can only remember:

"They're tiny, they're all a little nude-y, and in this cartoon-y, there'll be sex on your TV...The condom dispensors were emptied by the censors...Elmira's into pain."

18. I may be misunderstanding your OP...
as I don't have the skill to do my own parodies. But here is hands-down my fave Weird Al song. Liked it before I even knew who it was, but I think it does rock in its own way, and the lyrics crack me up. I only hope the (eh) video doesn't distract from those aspects, but YouTube seems to be the only way to post songs, video and all.

Enjoy!

20. Yes. I love doing song parodies like that..
And I'm good at it too. Many of them are "dirty" (ie, unsuitable for DU, such as the one I did for "YMCA" many years ago). Others, I write about birds to sing to my bird.

Guns'N'Roses' "Paradise City" becomes "Parrotlet City." (My bird, Grace, is a parrotlet.)

Take me down
to the parrotlet city
where the birds are green
and oh so pretty,
Take me home


"Big Ten Inch Record"
...my wee four-inch...birdie
She's the parrotlet named Grace
the parrotlet named Grace.
I just love my wee four-inch
birdie whose name is Grace.

23. I used to all the time
My sister and I wrote one, to the tune of New Kids On The Block's "Hangin' Tough," called "Hang Yourself." I did one using Springsteen's "Dancin' In The Dark" - about a guy who didn't pay his electric bill. LOL
