So I have a question: what songs do you guys associate with fandom? Not just with a particular character, pairing or canon (although obviously that can end up fitting the bill) but with fandom itself as a place, experience, or group of people.
Here are my three to start, in ascending order of soppiness. Feel free to be more sarcastic in your own selections :D

And the urge to set the world to rights is really strong
There’s a gravitational force that pulls me off my course when
Someone on the internet is wrong

No matter where we go I do believe we’re all related now
There’s no love like crew and that’s true cos to me
My friends and my family, my clan is Doomtree
There’s no love like crew love and that’s true cos to me
My people, my partners, my plan is Doomtree

This one makes me think of cons, so having found this live version it’s nice that he begins with “this is a song about making new friends”!
They came in by the dozens, walking or crawling
Some were bright-eyed, some were dead on their feet
And they came from Zimbabwe or from Soviet Georgia
East St Louis or from Paris or they lived across the street
But they came, and when they’d finally made it here
It was the least that we could do to make our welcome clear
Come on in, we haven’t slept for weeks
And drink some of this, this’ll put colour in your cheeks
ETA: OH! DUH!

Stories of tortures used by debauchers
Lurid, licentious and vile
Make me smile
All books can be indecent books
Though recent books are bolder
For filth, I'm glad to say, is in the mind of the beholder
I could tell you stories about Peter Pan
And the Wizard of Oz, there's a dirty old man!
