You have to ask the difficult questions, hunh?
Um, it's sorta . . .
It's kinda like. . .
Um.
Okay. So, there's this music. And most of it is either parodies of stuff, mainly humorous, or original stuff that's about science fiction or fantasy stuff. And people write these parodies and original songs, and they sing them.
That's filking.
Like, there's this guy, Terrence Chua. And he's decided that most ABBA songs would be better if you
re-wrote them so they were actually about Cthulhu.
("There was something in the air that night/The stars were right/Cthulhu.")
That's filk.
