Street Folklore in Miami

Gacked from bigscary: The Folklore of Homeless Children.

I am ... stunned. And horrified. And fascinated. And disturbed. And strangely exalted. And deeply moved.

Go. Read.

At the mad scientist LARP a few weeks ago (this is Daniel, aka H. G. Wells, btw) you sang for a bit a kind of filk-ish song I've Got a Hunch based on "Now is the winter of our discontent" etc. from shakespeare. This is weeks later (this is how my thought processes work, lol, it's a little bizarre but things randomly pop up in my head weeks or months later with complete explanations attached to them) but I suddenly realized where I'd heard that before. It was sung by Professor Peter Schikele, the guy that invented/discovered the infamous nonexistent classical musician P.D.Q. Bach. I knew I vaguely recognized that song...there were other songs in the medley too, one very very hilarious one based on "I come to bury Caesar not to praise him" -- unfortunately it was years ago so I don't remember them all.

Oh, and also this was an excuse to give you my LJ name.

No, no, different song entirely. The one I sang was written by Jordan Mann, a.k.a. mannoftalent.(Though Schikele may be where Jordan got the idea ...)
