From: Matt Blissett Newsgroups: alt.fan.pratchett Subject: [I] [FILK] AFPian Rhapsody Date: Sat, 1 Feb 2003 21:21:24 -0000 The idea came whilst I was walking through Leicester at 4pm, singing this (not loud, just loud enough to get people to turn round, lost their concentration, and walk into someone else >:>) So....here it is. AFAIK noone else has done one on the same song, and I did Google first. AFPian Rhapsody ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (To the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody, by Queen.) Is this the real life? [1] Is this just a.f.p? Caught in a cascade No escaping insanity Open the thread Scroll down to the end and see... "Hi I'm a newbie [8] I need no FAQs Because I know it all Know it now _ _ _ [2] _ _ _ [3] Anything that happens Doesn't really matter To me... To me..." (the way the thread goes) [4] [5] Io, [6] Just trolled in here [7] Put a top-post in out midst, Got a Terse Note, life's a sh*t, [12] Io! O I had a life! [13] But now I've missed a post on afp! Io, oooohh [14] Didn't mean to wreck your keys [15] You are me, here, have your five U.K. pounds, [16] Post on, post on [17] Cause nothing really matters. It's too late [19] PTerry's going [20] 'Don't speculate' he says [22] 'I mustn't steal ideas. [23] Goodbye everybody ;,( I've got to go [24] Gotta write another book :) Now touring's through!' Io! Ooooh! (the way the thread goes) [26] I don't want him to go! I wish there'd never been speculation now! [27] (Ooooooo) [28] I see a little alligator on the ceiling! [29] O Clue Faeries! O Clue Faeries! Don't sit on the chocolate! [31] Badgers, cats and hedgehogs [33] Definately frightening me! [34] Terry Pratchett! Terry Pratchett! By Blind Io please don't go! Magnifiko! [35] Look! There's a monkey! What's it doing in here? He's an orang-utan, Biped just like you and me. [36] Caused by an accident in UU library [37] Easy then easy now Will you let me go now? Oook oook oook EEEK! [39] He won't let you go! Let me go! Oook oook oook EEEK! [40] Let me go! Oook oook EEEK! [41] Let me go! Oook oook EEEK! [42] Let me go! EEEK EEEK EEEK EEEK EEEK EEEK EEEK EEEK EEEK EEEK! [43] Commander Vimes! As the wizards pull aside for me [45] For me! For ME! _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _?[60][47] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _?[48] _ _ _![49] _ _ _ _ _ _ _![50] _ _ _ _ _[51] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _![52] (ooooh, ooooh)[53][54] _ _ _ _ _ _[55] _ _ _ _ _[56] _ _ _ _ _ _[57] _ _ _ _ _ _[58] _ _[59] (any way the thread goes)[60] ===================================== OK, I think the footnotes[SQRT(-1)] got a /little/ bit out of hand there[61]. Sorry about that. Won't happen again[62]. Anyone got any ideas about the bit I couldn't think of words for? ~~ Matt ===================================== [1] This filk shared similarities with the words, too! [2] Needs some words: in BR is 'Little high' [3] NSW: 'Little low' [4] the quiet voice [5] insert plinky piano noise here [6] can anyone think of anything better? [7] Not me, obviously, someone else! [8] not me either! [9] [9] if this doesn't make sense, see [7][10] [10] the order got messed up. see [11] [11] this messes up the order even more. [11] [12] I feel uncomfortable about this one [13] Hey! A partial palindrome in that line! [14] How do you stop spelling ooooooooooooooh? [15] cf "Keyboard" [16] Doesn't scan very well. [17] Arrrrgh! Need more syllables! [18] [18] How about "post-dum on, post-de on" [19] It is. I have work to do. [20] Only joking! [21] It's a /song/. [21] Sorry if I broke any more keyboards then, cf [15] [22] This isn't a quote, it's me making it up. [23] Not that he would anyway, but it fits. [24] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! [25] [25] A deranged mind. [26] Quiet voice again [27] Just a subtle hint on the preferances of the author. [28] The quiet voice gets all the hard bits. [29] 'Big' doesn't scan[30] [30] Neither does stuffed. [31] [32]I'm not implying that the Clue Faeries /would/ sit on chocolate, BTW [32] Please not: Upcoming sentance may contain artistic liscence. Read with caution. [33] Horray for Lodestone! [34] Have you *seen* the claws on that thing!?! [35] No, I can spell. [36] no. Forgotten. Completely gone. What was I going to put here? [37] Not true. Caused by an accident in the gym, but that doesn't rhyme.[38] [38] Not that the rest of it rhymes. [39] Translation: 'Where are the peanuts' [40] 'Only if you give me a peanut' [41] 'If you give me a peanut' [42] 'Look, I only want a *peanut*. Or a banana' [43] 'What is do hard to understand? Right. You give me a banana [44] and I'll let you go. Oh, hello nightwatchman'. [44] Or a peanut [45] More correctly, 'Fall over'[46] [46] Due to being drunk. [47] BR has: 'So you think you can love me and spit in my eye?' [48] BR has: 'So you think you can love me and leave me to die?' [49] BR has: 'Oh baby!' [50] BR has: 'Can't do this to me baby!' [51] BR has: 'Just gotta get out' [52] BR has: 'Just got to get right out of here!' [53] BE has: '(ooooh, ooooh)'[54] [54] it's that quiet voice again [55] BR has: 'Nothing really matters' [56] BR has: 'Anyone can't see' [57] BR has: 'Nothing really matters' [58] BR has: 'Nothing really matters' [59] BR has: 'to me...' [60] number of _ represents number of 'beats' [61] I think that got out of more than just hand. [62] Promise. [SQRT(-1)] Is there a prize? Then I donate it to the Orang-utan foundation.
