Author: Barry R. OK, Prompted by the Mole's posting of character based filks, I thought I'd better get my own set finished before they became obsolete :) Filks for the Major Discworld Characters. (Part 1 of many) Ridcully: To the Tune of "Eye Of The Tiger" Rising up, five in the morning. Got my rods, and got my crossbows. ' heard there were monsters that look good on a wall I'm a man with the urge to collect I want a Head of a Tiger or a demon of hell So I can get it stuffed and get it mounted and the most fiercesome creatures in the jungles of Klatch should watch out because I think I should... make a call there. With my rod, I draw an octogram then I mumble words of power Raise my arms and say the last of the spell then I'm gone, with a flash and a smile I want a Head of a Tiger or a demon of hell So I can get it stuffed and get it mounted and the most fiercesome creatures in the jungles of Klatch are all hiding because I am now... On my way there. and now, I'm creeping through trees got my prey just where I want them raise my crossbow and I let fly the bolt one more notch to be carved on the butt I have a Head of a Tiger and a demon of hell I will now have them stuffed and have them mounted and the most fiercesome creatures in the jungles of Klatch are endangered because I have now... been around there . Susan: To The Tune of Running in the Family I know I'm different to the rest, 'cos I have this gift to walk through any wall I choose And I can fade from your vision, and you won't see me until I decide to let you. Looking back it's not bizarre, it runs in the family. All those things I do When you grandfather is Death, your father his apprentice strange things you'd do too and I still have my father's scar I see some monsters every day, and the tooth fairy and bogeymen that hide from others But monsters are afraid of me, cos if they are caught... the poker is a fearful thing Looking back it's not bizarre, it runs in the family. All those things I know When you grandfather is Death, your father his apprentice strange things you know too and I still have my father's scar I wish I wasn't quite like this. I just want to be a normal person like my mother Not knowing all the things I do, and whose problems are the ones you deal with normally Looking back it's not bizarre, it runs in the family. All those things I crave 'cos my grandfather did too, when my father worked for him He wanted the same things and he briefly got them too Looking back it's not bizarre, it runs in the family. All those things I do When you grandfather is Death, your father his apprentice strange things you'd do too and I still have my father's scar OK, that's all for now, but I gave many others that are being completed piece by piece... My eventual aim is to have a filk for each major character, and some of the minor ones too. Barry R. B.F. The Official Sad Bastard
