On Kli's suggestion from the injokes topics, I started this.

I guess the first ones that should go in are the YW christmas carols:

To the tune of Away in a Manger

Deep down in the Ocean
Near the Tooth of the Sea
10 whales and a shark gath'd
To save the sea.
The Song of the 12
was to be sung
Near the bottom of the ocean
In the presence of the Lone One

S'reee, Ed and hNii't
With the others in tow
Swam down to the depths
To give it a go
Nita was nervous
As, by the end of the day
She'd be eaten by a shark
And gone all away

On the way down there
The ran into some Squid
Who fought them and
Delayed the Celebrants a bit
They finally got down there
And began the Song
with the Lone Power appearing
And then it went wrong

To the tune of 'O come all ye faithful'

(sung by Dairine in HW)
Oh come ye Lone Power!
Fairest and Fallen,
Greetings and as always defiance
Come take your best shot
Prove me wrong, cause I reckon
that I can beat you

(LP's Response)
I come to defeat you,
puny little wizard,
no wizard has ever been
able to beat me
I will wi-in
and then you will be sorry,
then you will ne-ever bug me again.

Hark! The YW Cast is Singing - written by Tui

Hark! The bug-like Rirhait sing
Neets and Ronan are kissing.
Danger earth, Carmela's chatting
Aliens may come attacking.
Joyful all the wizards rise
to the moon above the skies
With the trees in Central Park
Take the oath to fight the Dark
Hark! Prophetic parrots sing
Look at Sker'ret eat that swing.

Ronan, by some girls adored
Ronan, other times abhorred
To New York behold him come;
this coincidence is rum.
Veiled in plastic see the Spear*
That which even Balor feared
The pen is mightier than the sword
Just as well, since they're at war;
Hark! Our Favourite Wizards sing;
Kit and Nita are kissing.

To the tune of Jingle Bells

Running from Joanne,
Neets feels faint and sore,
Then sees the libr'y open
and runs in through the door.
Hiding 'mongst the books
She decides to take a look
She's snagged by one
and then suddenly everything began!

Chorus:
Oh Wizardry wizardry wizardry is great!
Jumping over oceans and back or running 'round in space, OH!
*Oh! Young Wizards, Young Wizards,
Young Wizards away,
Fighting the Starsnuffer and trying to save the day, Hey!

Neets goes exploring
Down by the freeway
There she finds Kit
And with Fred they save the day
They head off on Ordeal
To find the bri-ight book
Trying to get it 'fore the Lone One tries to take a look.

[chorus]

While at Tiana Beach,
Kit and Nita swim at night,
Rousing suspicious thoughts
and giving Neets' parents a fright.
They run into Hotshot
Who leads them to S'reeee,
They heal the whale and get back home
after sharks they free.

[chorus]

The next day they go to meet
S'reee again in the bay,
After changing into whales
they swim around for most of the day
The TwelveSong must be sung
And Nita volunteers
To sing the Silent Lords part
Without knowing t'was what she feared.

[chorus]

Ed the Master Shark,
Swum round and round the whales
Telling he would end
Distress without a wail
When the time came 'round for the song
He saw that he was wrong
'bout Timeheart
and found that was where he belonged.

[chorus]

Dairine soon found the Oath
And came to read it young
Then headed into space
Just for a bit of fun.
Her ordeal was full of danger
and help from various strangers
She helped defeat the Lone Power
who before Peach did cower

[chorus]

Neets' parents think that
Their daughter needs a break
From talking to the trees
and working with Kit.
They organise for her
To visit the Emerald Isle
Surprisingly to them
This was not greeted with a smile

[chorus]

She headed off to Ireland
and found herself on call
and going sideways
which wasn't allowed at all
she sought out Ronan's help
and then was suprised to find
That her Aunt Annie
was one of their kind

[chorus]

Dairine and Kit soon appeared
To help find the Spear
They sought a Power's help
To reforge the powerful Spear
Time came round for battle
and many wizards came
To fight for good and
what used to be known as Ireland.

WF's contribution
Anyway, here's my YW carol:
(It's the 12 days of Christmas, but I only got to 8: )

On my eighth day of YW-dom fellow members gave to me:
Eight claims of sanity
Seven new foundations
Six bananananas
Five smiley wars!
Four virtual muffins
Three roleplay links
Two Poot fanarts
And a get away from Aurie free card!

Ok. Thats all I can find and I've been reading page after page of the TOGR looking for them.

Add other ones people!

I am totally going to do a filk, because I was thinking about one earlier. It needs some work though and it's a little late so not right now, but I also had a question for you guys. It's a very stupid fandom question, so sue me, but it's relevant to the topic of filk (or I think so, anyway.)

What songs remind you of YW characters? Any in particular? None?

I have to say this fandom has a lot of songs that go with it for me- I'll be listening to the radio or something and they'll just come up, and I'll be all "Oh!" which is sort of fun.

Hey Schoolgirl by Tom and Jerry (Simon and Garfunkel in another guise) reminds me of Kit and Nita and, who am I kidding, Nita/Kit a lot. lyrics here.

Arithmetic by Brooke Fraser pretty much is exactly Dairine to my mind. I mean, Dairine in love, which is admittedly not a concept we're likely to see explored, but still. I don't know why. :P (You won't have heard this song, so the lyrics are here. I think you kind of need the tune though.

And, heh, I think I've mentioned this before (god, I've probably mentioned this whole thing before and have forgotten it. But probably not many people remember, right?) but The Only Living Boy in New York by Simon and Garfunkel reminds me of Tom and Carl, probably only because the first line is Tom, get your plane right on time. lyrics.

I'll admit to having been a sixteenth of a guest of honor at one filk convention, and involved in the running of at least one other, but I'd completely missed this thread. Can't say I've ever done any much writing of filk, though...

alla: you do know that you have efectivly summorized the magority of the entire serise with these songs...
You might want to do something with Carmela and underage chocolate pushing...

oh dear, I'm going to be humming "Jingle Bells" all day now...

I've got an idea for one. It's still to Jingle Bells. (Well, technically it's to Dashing Through the Snow...) Lessee...

'Mela's got a hot curler
That spits out lazer beams
beating up the aliens
and with choc'late she bargains

alla:

I have another one to add... 9 brand new straightjackets. Just a suggestion.

On the grounds of seeming foolish and non-rhyming/not matching the tune, I am not going to post a song about YW.

I know that was part of the point. I keep meaning to go back and finish them, but working Christmases (Christmasses?) in retail really kills your want to hear the carols at any other time. I guess I could try and write something original... but I'm not that good at composing.

Gwendi: The ones that are up there were written over a week or so (after a discussion on the Australian Christmas Carols somewhere in the depths of TOGR). Please, feel free to try and write your own. No-one here will laugh at you

Not adding a song of my own (as I wasn't able to come up with anything though I wanted to) I'm instead just adding things that were originally missed.

In TOGR when these songs first showed up there was another song:

Talkingbeast's contribution:
Joy to the world
RoShaun has come
Let Earth receive a king
Let Dairine and her dad
Prepare him room
and Filif and Skeret sing
and Filif and Skeret sing
and Filif, and Filif and Skeret sing

Ahhhh I remember reading those a LONG time ago!

*dies laughing*

I wish I was that gifted. If I ever come up with some, I'll come post them.

I haven't read these in ages...I really need to write a Christmas carol for YW someday... *happy sigh* These are awesome...

I like the "Joy To The World" one, it's great! And the "Hark! The YW Cast is Singing" one... These are amazing...
