Subject: RE: DTStudy: I Am Lard
Hmmm. Fanlore.org says:Plus Ça Change is a filk album by Kathy Mar. Two of its songs won Pegasus Awards: Drink Up A River won Best Filk Song in 1994 after also being nominated for the same award in 1991, and Velveteen won Best Love Song in 1991, after being nominated for Best Filk Song in 1990. "I Am Lord" was also nominated for Best Spiritual Song in 1996.
So, "I Am Lard" is a parody of a pagan filk song. It was submitted to the Digital Tradition by AJS. Who dat?
I found a coupla good recordings of "I Am Lord" on Spotify. Here's one on YouTube by Castalia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfysTFidwi8. I prefer the recording on the self-titled album by Moonstruck, but I can't find it on YouTube.
