Fandom: The Musical

Let's talk music and fandom!

- What songs do you think would suit a character, scene or plotline in one your fandoms perfectly?

- Have you ever written a filk (song parody) or posted a fanvid? Link to it below!

- Do you like musicals? How about musical movies and TV shows? 

- Are you in any music-related fandoms? (Theater, bandom...)

I have written dozens of comic songs from when I was performing 6 nights a week in various theaters, cabarets, colleges, etc.

Recently another Jeeves and Wooster fan started writing a "Joostical". I've been kicking around a rewrite of "Bill" from Showboat (lyrics co-written by P.G. Wodehouse) called "Just My Jeeves". And perhaps a reprise by Jeeves, "Just My Sir". I love writing lyrics!

I adore musicals and have probably seen 99% of all musicals made before 1960.

Addendum: I just finished a project on Tumblr where I tracked down all of the songs referenced in the TV show and dug up the original recordings from the 1920s. Then I combed through "Thank You Jeeves" (the novel) and dug up the songs mentioned in the book where he plays the banjolele!
