Happy birthday, fandom!

[kjn]

Today is December 11th, the date of the founding of what is probably the first science fiction club - The Scienceers in New York in 1929.

Happy 85th birthday, fandom!

And without further ado, to the tune of Alice Tegnérs "Mors namnsdag", better known by its opening line "Röda små smultron":

ETA: I originally only wrote one verse, but I've since written two more, referencing the Reality of Fanac, Hope of Egoboo, and Promise of Bheer that Rosconians enjoy.


Drömmar om rymden, fanac så skön,
fanac så skön, fanac så skön
uppå stencilen till Roscoe en bön
idag är det fandoms födelsedag!

Hoppfull är fandom om egoboo
om egoboo, om egoboo
trufans hittar hos Roscoe ett bo
idag är det fandoms födelsedag!

Fandom blir glad av löften om öhl
löften om öhl, löften om öhl
det bringar trufans uppå rätt köl
idag är det fandoms födelsedag!


Text, noter och ackord

Stab at a English version:


Dreams about space and fanac so strong
fanac so strong, fanac so strong
on our stencil to Roscoe a song
today is the birthday of fandom!

Fandom is hopeful of egoboo
of egoboo, of egoboo
fen to shelter with Roscoe will go
today is the birthday of fandom!

Journeys to cons and promise of bheer
promise of bheer, promise of bheer
now all trufen for Roscoe will cheer
today is the birthday of fandom!
