A Filk Melody
Feb. 13th, 2015 03:09 pmA while ago, I wrote Filkarvisan, where I referenced various lyricists that I and other Swedish fans have filked (or were filking, in one case). Only trouble was, I also mentioned Nils Ferlin, who never has been filked by science fiction fandom (at least as far as I know).
So I had to fix that. "A Filk Melody" is based on Ferlin's most famous poem, "En valsmelodi", with a tune by Lille Bror Söderlundh. Here's a YouTube (there are lots more; it's a very popular song over here), but it has also been translated to German as Schnulze aus Schmalz by Wolf Biermann (available on iTunes) and to English by Roger Hinchliffe as A Waltz (On the Wild Side).

That should fill up my ose quota for quite some time.
