completely new lyrics, intended for humorous effect when
read, and/or to be sung late at night at SF conventions.
There is a flourishing subgenre of these called "computer

/filk/, n.,v.
[from SF fandom, where a typo for ‘folk’ was adopted as a new word]
Originally, a popular or folk song with lyrics revised or completely new
lyrics and/or music, intended for humorous effect when read, and/or to be
sung late at night at SF conventions. More recently (especially since the
late 1980s), filk has come to include a great deal of originally-composed
music on SFnal or fantasy themes and a range of moods wider than simple
parody or humor. Worthy of mention here because there is a flourishing
subgenre of filks called computer filks, written by hackers and often
containing rather sophisticated technical humor. See double bucky for an
example. Compare grilf, hing, pr0n, and newsfroup.
