Who here likes Filk music? No, not folk, Filk. Filk is any kind of music about speculative fiction - Sci Fi and Fantasy mainly. Here's an example. It's from a book about America in the 2020's after the Greens take over the government.
Wanted Fan
So, what do you think?
Wanted Fan
Wanted fan in Luna City, wanted fan on Dune and Down.
Wanted fan at Ophiuchus, wanted fan in Dydee-town.
All across the sky they want me, am I flattered? Yes I am!
If I could just reach orbit, then I'd be a wanted fan.
Wanted fan for mining coal and wanted fan for drilling oil.
I went very fast through Portland, hunted hard like Gully Foyle.
Built reactors in Seattle against every man's advice.
Couldn't do that in Alaska - Fonda says it isn't nice.
Wanted fan for plain sedition, like the singing of this tune.
If NASA hadn't failed us we'd have cities on the moon.
If it weren't for fucking NASA we'd at least have walked on Mars.
And if I can't reach orbit, then I'll never reach the stars.
Nader's Raiders want my freedom, OSHA wants my scalp and hair.
If I'm wanted in Wisconsin, be damned sure I won't be there!
If the E-P-A still wants me, I'll avoid them if I can.
They're tearing down the cities so I'll be a wanted fan!
Wanted fan on Chthon and Sparta and the Hub's ten million stars,
Wanted fan for singing silly in a thousand space port bars.
If it's what we really wante, we'll build a starship when we can;
If I could just make orbit then I'd be a wanted fan.
Wanted fan for building spacecraft, wanted fan for dipping air.
Sending microwave transmissions, building habitats up there.
Oh, the glacier got us last time, next time we'll try to land!
And when the Ice is conquered it'll be by wanted fans.
And when the stars are conquered it'll be by wanted fans!
