Line 81:
* 'Helva' : 'For me and my luggage will never meet again on the bonnie bonnie floors of the Worldcon'.
* 'Xenaclone' : A whole Highlander/Mikado filk cycle, several 'Firefly' filks and counting...
* There's ''[[Honorverse]]'' filk. Including Honor-ified ''Banned from Argo'' and almost inevitable ''I Am the Bleekin' Model of a Treecat Telempathical''. See the results of a filk fest in [[UseNet|alt.books.david-weber]] [http://www.warriorgoddess.org/weberfilk.html here]. There's a lot of other filk (of varying quality)
** Three known songs from Echo's Children: ''No Quarter'', ''Riding a Tiger'', ''Fair Was The Blossom''
* Echo's Children filk a lot. Aside of ''Honorverse'' songs, they have ''[[Babylon 5]]'' songs (''Annie's Luck'', ''Bested''), ''[[Vorkosigan Saga]]'' songs (''Butterbug Blues'', ''How It Is Applied'', ''Two Falls Out Of Three'') and generally SF&F themed (spaceships, werewolves, etc).
Line 102:
* ''[[Major-General Song]]'' ("I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General" from [[Gilbert and Sullivan]]'s ''[[The Pirates of Penzance]]'') is practically a filk waiting to happen. Everybody from ''[[ReBoot]]'' to ''[[Animaniacs]]'' to [[Tom Lehrer]] (see below) has rewritten that one, to the point where [[Major-General Song|riffs of the "The Modern Major-General's Song" have their own trope here]].
** Even actual productions of ''Penzance'' tend to play around with the lyrics; see also "I've Got a Little List" from ''[[The Mikado]]''.
** Other derivatives include ''I Am the Very Model of the Heroine Barbarian'' (''[[Xena]]'')
** In-fandom versions: ''I am the Very Model of a Hawkeye/Coulson Devotee'' [//archiveofourown.org/works/374325/chapters/610438 by '''dizmo''']; ''I Am The Very Model Of A Dedicated Homestuck Fan'' [//archiveofourown.org/works/518634 by '''FallacyFallacy''']; ''The Very Model of a Futuristic Pirate Crew'' (band The Mechanisms as [[Space Pirate]]s?)[//archiveofourown.org/works/1205503/chapters/2462458 by '''machiavellijr''']; ''I Am The Very Model Of A [[NaNoWriMo|Wrimo]] Individual'' [//writersnotes.bandcamp.com/track/i-am-the-very-model-of-a-wrimo-individual by '''Errol Elumir''']; ''I Am the Very Model of a Steampunk Who's Victorian'' [//violethugh.bandcamp.com/track/i-am-the-very-model-of-a-steampunk-whos-victorian by '''Violet Hugh'''].
* Electronic-postpunk-goth band [[ThouShaltNot]] arguably ventured into filk with their song "If I Only Were A Goth", a minor-key version of "If I Only Had A Brain" from ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' with new, tongue-in-cheek lyrics.
