I really like Dawson's Christian.
I have a confirmed grand total of 1 merged PR. That basically means I'm a c*der now.

I don't like most filk but I have an extremely soft spot for Bomber. It fucks ungodly, Douglas MacArthur was right.

Re: Filk favorites
Everyone's heard Carmen Miranda's Ghost, so here's some others
St. Elmo's Fire is slept on.
Late Night at the Draco Tavern for Bartender Vibes. "No one knows what will come in next, things like turtles, things like insects..."
Don't Push That Button if you're frustrated with Engineering delamming 10 minutes in.
And my personal favorite cover of Spacer's Home.
The other songs from Where No Man get overshadowed by Banned from Argo IMO, they're also sweet.
Security Strike gives perfect Seccie vibes. "We can hear the captain's Security call..."
Tell the Captain if you like playing captain. "Someone tell the captain he's wanted on the bridge, we've got another message from a planet out in space..."
Bones for medbay - "I wake each morning to the intercomms warning and I wonder why I ever went to space! Oh, there's aches and pains, and wounds and sprains, and a space bourne plague or two..."
Space Hero and Other Fools has some cool ones too.
Ballad to a Spaceman - "He lived as a Spaceman from the day he was born, and as a spaceman he will die..."
Honorable mention to Minus Ten and Counting, it doesn't give off SS13 vibes but I still love it.
Witnesses Waltz might be one of my all time favorite filk songs for the vibes.

Re: Filk favorites
I was about to spew forth two dozen recommendations before I realized that I don't consider half of them as "real filk." But then I got confused about what "real filk" even meant. Everyone agrees Carmen Miranda is Filk, but what about Fish's other, less space-themed work? Is Polaris Filk?
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=CVG2f ... 80XgsaWmyA
And if it counts, what about other Lovecraft themed songs? Does Dreams in the Witch House count?
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=M4zd4 ... quSSEu09v6
Or The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets?
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=5VNvU ... VK1jnhsRnO
I think I eventually decided that something with fantastical theming need not be Filk, and that typical Filk is more exemplified by a simpler feel. Most of Carmen Miranda feels ironically down to earth musically, A lot of the songs just have one instrument and vocals. Vixy and Tony, Bedlam Bards, and Ken Theriot all fit the bill nice enough on that end.

Filk to me is something that you would actually hear one or more people jamming out with in a convention or ren faire, so it's simpler and sometimes a little more goofy than a lot of other music. The dividing line between Filk and Pirate music of course is surprisingly small. You could make me a convincing argument that The Jolly Rogers or the Musical Blades were Filk bands:
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=TDflb ... P7jh0OZm0V
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=4QAGH ... f0AF7ieeKE
Then there lies the greatest difficulty, The Dread Crew of Oddwood. They formed at a convention, but now they have very good production values and complicated songs. They play at ren faires but also at concerts with Tyr. They're metal without any electric instruments and I love them dearly.
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=2n7NN ... o6ukggSeKX
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=gcE3y ... 8JxVc_rz6o
And then because I don't know where else to put them, have these three too:
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=53D2u ... VZgeGxf9fp
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=BEHsq ... OfCPsPUHG_
https://judgesmith1.bandcamp.com/track/ ... vvy-street
Jeff Wayne gets an honorable mention too but his production value is way too high for me to consider him filk.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I have no taste in music and no idea what I'm talking about, but I like it when they make the noises and say the word "spaceship."

Re: Filk favorites

Re: Filk favorites
Doing my due diligence and dropping the 1000+ filk playlist someone on bagil gave me a while back
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUaW ... ATaPZh7QJH
It has a lot of the "not quite true filk" songs warbluke was talking about too.
One of my personal favorites is "The day it fell apart" especially when medbay was just bombed
