If I made a call for filks, would anyone participate?? as a massive wizardwrock fan and Leackcast listener, it would always be a tradition of mine to listen to Leaky's compilation of submitted filks for christmas. And with so many talented people in the Ice and Fire fandom, i was wondering if we had a similar love of turning anything we can get our hands on into an Ice and Fire art project. for those who don't know, a Filk is when you take a known song and just rewrite the lyrics. So what I'm suggesting is us taking karaoke versions of Christmas or Holiday songs and rewriting the lyrics to Ice and Fire themes. And for those brave souls, recording our version and we could put them together for a special Christmas episode so that everyone can hear our butchered attempts at singing. I admit, I've been wanting to create a Cercei version of 'Favourite Things' for a long time now and may just be using this as an excuse to hide my craziness in a pile of others craziness but hey, lets all be crazy together, yes? Anyone with me? Yay, Nay? What say ye people! please be yes. |

Can't figure out exactly what to call it, but there you are. On the [whatever whatever whatever], my true king gave to me: 12 Mummers mumming 11 Rapers raping 10 Lords-a-lying 9 Ladies plotting 8 Maids-a-spying 7 Kraken swimming 6 Boltons flaying 5 clashing kiiiings 4 direwolves 3 dragons Too many Freys ... and a bastard of incest or three! |

yes, 12 days has to be done ^_^ though i'd suggest changing 6 to direwolves... dying? not sure, and 7 to kingdoms crumbling. >.< trying to think where numbers are notable in the books. |

great things here although my creativity and singin-talent will condemn me of only passively participating. i realy love the 12 days of christams idea and there at least is enough potential to bring in some more heirs to the iron islands, aching loins and feathered hats... |

The Muppets' Mahna Mahna song is just begging to have all its words changed to "Hodor". |

Seven Kingdoms. *foreheadslap* jesicka309 wrote: And the last line could be "and a raven in a weir wood tree" Ooh, I like that! I do like "four direwolves", just because it fits in with the rhythm (I think?) and the animal listing at the end. (And anyone who counts will count and get it |

Hmmm...I might take on the rewrite "I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus" to " I saw Cersei Boinking Moon Boy". Singing it though? That's gonna be something I may need some liquid courage for!! |

I would love to hear "Let it Snow" as sung by Stannis and the North Remembers Choir...I bet Stannis is a baritone. |

Damn, now I can't get Sansa and Littlefinger singing "Baby It's Cold Outside" at the Eyrie as they make little snow Winterfells out of my head! There definately needs to be a Song of Ice and Fire Very Special Christmas where Jon Snow must help a stranded Santa Claus return to the North Beyond the Wall, Dany learns the true meaning of Christmas as she must bring Joseph, Mary, and the baby Jesus to Mereen on the back of Drogon, and Cersei is visited by a friendly raven who shows her how much better the 7 kingdoms would be if she had never been born. |
