Comment from Pam Lonsdale
FanStory didn't say you couldn't use the music from another song, did they?
I like having a melody, because if I can sing along with the author's words, then the words make more sense and come together better. At least for me.
I found this loads of fun to sing! And I remember your Halloween poem/song; perhaps you'll honor us with another one next month?
Take care, and good luck in the contest.

Lol! Well, Katiemae. I must say this was a funny and interesting poem. I have never heard of Filksing, but I think I like it. This is a great poem and I liked the photo too! Keep up the great work!

Thanks Harry for reviewing. Try it sometime. Take an already written song and change the lyrics.
It's fun to do.

Well, thank you Katiemae. I will have to try that!
Comment from Pam (respa)
-Good artwork and presentation, Katiemae.
-Your notes are appreciated.
-You did a good job with your version of the song.
-I could follow the tune in my head as I read your poem.
-The repetition of the song title works well, too.
-I also like the chorus with the "sequels and prequels."
-My favorite verse is about the computers and cell phones.
-Very well done; thanks for sharing it.

Comment from Rachelle Allen
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Rogers and Hammerstein would be SOO very pleased with your rendition of their tune. Your meter was FLAWLESS throughout (that's a math thing, so of COURSE you excelled at it!!), and your rhymes were perfect, as well. I was totally entertained. Good luck at the polls!! xoxo

This is a clever and funny rendition for the Write a Song competition. I was singing right along and you got the rhythm perfectly, the rhyming was great and it all flowed so smoothly and easily. I really liked it. Great job!

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
An excellent entry to the Write a song contest. This was so much fun. I love the song you chose to reword and I am all about geeks and nerds! Your words were so cute and you really covered the bases as to what nerds are drawn to! Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Begin Again
I remembered the song but I went to You Tube and found it and let it play while I read (silent sang) your song with Julie singing along too.... the tune fit your words perfectly. What a marvelous and fun time.

Comment from karenina
This is very clever! I've done this before, as well. It's so much easier to follow along when we have a tune "cemented" in our brain and can read your lyrics to it. (Or sing out loud if we dare!)
As a card-carrying nerd, this totally appeals to me!

Comment from GWHARGIS
Now this was a song! I loved how easily it lent itself to the tune of My Favorite Things. I think I might have heard Julie Andrew's singing it. Lol. This was fabulous. I wish I had a six. Gretchen

Nicely done! Identifying the song in the beginning had me singing your poem, and the rhythm is perfect. I particularly enjoyed the refrain. Your rhymes are great throughout. Best wishes in the contest. Carol
