Taco Bell, fold the corners in well
A fellow filker noted that they worked at Taco Bell and sang work shanties there. Taco Bell and sailors' songs combined into something unholy here, based on my infamous poem on Tumblr and Evert Taube's lullaby Byssan lull, based on Fiskeskärsmelodin.

Glimmering Nymph
It was a long time since I last wrote here, and even longer since I posted a new filk song.
But it's time for Bellman, and in English! It even connects with the old Filk Tradition of doing relatively straight adaptions of Scandinavian ballads (see also: Mary O'Meara and A Flower and a Hufflepuff).

The space exploration panels at Dublin 2019 turned out to have a specific theme, and when Saturday's filk circle ended up with three new songs written during the con, I could do no worse. These two elements combined to this filk sacrilege, which caused

It Hurts
Well, that didn't take long.
Because of course Crowley of Good Omens needs a Eurovision Song Contest filk, here is the English version of "Jag är ond", though it's not really a translation, more a new and separate filking of the "It Hurts" (Youtube), performed by Lena Ph at the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest.
