Well, from a quick scan of (part of) my filk song index (adapted from the M.A.S.S. F.I.L.C. Index), I get the following filk songs written to Battle Hymn of the Republic: A Modern Folksong APA '45 Forever: or, The Teenfan Tyrannty Song A Song in Praise of the Warriors of the Middle Kingdom Battle Hymn of Hastings Battle Hymn of the Rebellion Glory, Glory, Science Fiction Hordes of Mordor Quark's Song Salute to Shadowcon The Battle Hymn of the Helpers The Battle Hymn of the Ranapublic The Filker's Bronx Cheer The Hacker's Battle Hymn The Techfan Tyranny Marching Song: or, APA '45 Forever The Theme Song of the U.S.S. Enterprise The Thermodynamics Final TurkeyCon '77 Westercon 23: or The Con-Coordinator's Lament 1, 2, 3, 4 ... Testing The Bradbury Hate Song The Klingon Diplomatic Corps Marching Song: or, Imperialism for Fun and Profit The L.A.S.F.S. Marching Song The Teenfan Tyranny Marching Song Westercon 23: or The Con Co-Ordinator's Lament I don't have the lyrics for most of these, but I thought I'd toss it out here anyway... For those who don't yet know, filk refers to the folk songs of science fiction fans -- which often involves writing new lyrics to existing tunes, as in the above cases. Jesse Weinstein
