I love tlhInganchuSfilk!
tlhInganvaD <The Lumberjack Song> vImugh. It is so funny! "I'm a warrior and
I'm okay. I sleep all night and I fight all day..."
I did write the music for a Klingon Aria from an Opera. It was rather
funky. I'm still trying to figure out how to send music scores over the
net without taking up too much memory. The lyrics are atrocious in their
Klingon form, but the music was interesting. It was performed by a string
quartet, but can be adapted to any instrumental quartet. It was
called chuQunvaD chuS (roughly: Heidi's Song). It's where two men are
fighting over a woman, but then decide they don't want to do this, and run
away. She curses them, and wishes for chocolate. I followed it by a
Broadway-cute song about chocolate, in English, that is wonderful, when
sung by a "Klingon."
If anyone has some Klingon filk, I would like to see it.
