I'll Hold Your Gold (parody of A Whole New World from Aladdin)

I find the Wikipedia entries on 'songfiction' and 'filk' to be ambiguous. It seems I'm wrong to have described my creations as songfics, but I dislike the word filk. Perhaps a neutral term such as 'song parody' is a fair compromise.BillyH wrote:...(yes, 'filk'...according to Wikipedia, that's the proper name for these kind of things. A 'songfic' is when you write a piece of fiction based around a song). Look out for another Christmas themed filk from us very soon.
I'm about to parody that too...Becxsmagic wrote:...we still haven't escaped Disney yet! I'm also planning "A VR world" from "A whole new world" in Aladdin.
Official audio
Julius Scaramonger sees a dungeoneer with a bar of gold, and bursts into song:
I can see you have gold
Shining shimmering splendid
Tell me, dungeoneer, when did
You last let your heart decide?
If you open your eyes
Even under that helmet
All your hopes will be well-met
As I trust I've now implied
I'll hold your gold
And sell fantastic things to you
Your friends might tell you no
Or where to go
Or say I'm only scheming
I'll hold your gold
A dazzling deal you never knew
But here in Wolfenden
With fiends and men
I know I want
To hold that gold for you
Unbelievable stock
Indescribable discounts
Such a range you might miscount
As you're choosing what to buy
I'll hold your gold
(Don't you dare choose Ah Wok)
A hundred thousand things on sale
(The more carats the better)
Here on my market stall
I sell it all
But kitchen sinks, cigars, or Holy Grails
I'll hold your gold
(It's the best type of rock)
And help you on to Level Two
(You won't be a regretter)
Then you'll reach Level Three
All thanks to me
So let me take that bar of gold off you
I'll hold your gold
(A whole new world)
That's what I'll do
(That's what you'll do)
A thrilling deal
(Can this be real?)
For me and me
