And thus you all will think that I am filking

[valarltd]

jkb gave me this idea. So far all I have is the chorus.


The Mark Hamill Fan Lament
To "The Irish Washerwoman"

Chorus
The movie's no good but Mark Hamill is great
Seems like that's our constant lament here of late
His talent's terrific, the scripts are third rate
The movie's no good but Mark Hamill is great!


Still trying to find the lyrics to the Harrison Ford Hate Song.
I may have to talk to alt.music.filk.

I want to learn "Signy Mallory." Leslie Fish is a genius.

Captain Signy Mallory has no soul they say
The captain of the Norway has a heart of frozeen blades
That on the bridge of the Norway she throws men's lives like dice
Captain Signy Mallory, her eyes are fire and ice

Hi Angel

Where I got the idea was from the fact that reviews of Mark's B-movies always say something like, "The movie stinks but Mark Hamill gives a great performance." I'd like to include that concept in the chorus. Maybe:

The movie's no good but Mark Hamill is great
In every review, that's the comment they make
His talent's terrific, the script is third-rate
The movie's no good but Mark Hamill is great

Or something along those lines. Now I'm already starting to think about verses -- a great way to avoid doing any serious work. *g*
