Dorky Classics Filks I Have Known

[flea]

To rid myself of the earworm...

1. To the tune of "Frosty The Snowman"
Composed by a guy named Paul who was a grad student at Michigan in 1995.

Pauly-Wissowa,
Were a jolly pair of Krauts.
With a blah blah blah
And a blah blah blah
And some Altertumswissenschaft!

This went on for a long time. I don't remember any more.

2. To the tune of the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive"
Composed by John Lobur of Michigan, in Athens, 1998-99.

Alcibiades
Well you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
...
Ah, ah, ah, ah, Changin' Sides, Changin' Sides

It's a shame I can't remember any more, since this one was brilliant.

I have one of those passed down from my parents. To the tune of "There's No Business Like Show Business."

There's no ism like [something]ism, like no ism I know!
Everything about it is appalling!
Everything about it is a fraud!
[something something something something -eeling]
When you are kneeling in front of God!

There's no being like pure being,

... and that's all I got. I can tell it was genius.
