My Favorite Things (A Parody)
Author's Notes: This song was inspired by the song 'My Favorite Things' from A Sound of music. I rewrote the song to reflect several Fandoms and actually used it as a poem for my speech class. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and I received an A for my efforts, whether my teacher understood the underlining meaning of this song or not. I plan for this song to be the first in a series. I want to make a sort of "Playlist" titled Fandom Parodies with other songs similarly rewritten to represent multiple Fandoms in a variety of ways through music. Please take a minute to R&R to let me know if you liked this song and if you like my idea and would like to see more songs like this in the future. I have a few songs in mind, but I'm not entirely sure how many I would like to do in total, but if I receive enough positive feedback I'd like to turn this into a proper series. I've already started writing the second song and it will be up within the next two weeks, and yes it's more current.
Now, without further delay, here is My Favorite Things. Enjoy…
Bowties on Time Lords and blue telephone boxes,
Multicolored Daleks and sonic screwdrivers,
Empty blue journals all tied up with string,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Plaid wearing brothers and trench coated angels,
Salt rounds and hell hounds and hundreds of miracles,
Chevy Impalas and when Dean Winchester sings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Consulting Detectives and veteran bloggers,
Murderers and victims and Reichenbach fallers,
British intelligence and violin strings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When an author writes,
When a character dies,
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things-
And then I don't feel so bad.
Magic and Muggles and brooms made of wood,
'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good',
Quidditch and curses and when the Mandrake screams,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Hobbits and wizards and a mountain with gold,
Dwarfs and dragons and stores of old,
The Eye of Sauron and Gollum's precious ring,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Sheriffs and rednecks and doing 'Stuff and Things',
The farm and the prison and the town Woodbury,
Walkers and crossbows and chocolate pudding,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When closing the book,
When the series ends,
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things-
And then I don't feel so bad.
Twitter and Pinterest and YouTube playlists,
Black t-shirts and Fandom merch and late nights watching Netflix,
Laptops and iPads and phones that go ding!
These are a few of my favorite things.
