I think there's a big audience for filk songs, Ace -

Filk conventions, the Pegasus Awards and a multitude of fabulous filk songs attest to the popularity of the form. Here's a link to the Pegasus Awards (http://www.ovff.org/pegasus/index.html)home page

Filk. Now there's one I hadn't thought about.

I always did enjoy writing song parodies.

Thanks, Kate.

Correction: filk is not exclusively humorous, not when the talented Seanan Macguire (http://seananmcguire.com/songbook.php?id=294) is winning Pegasus Awards. It may have begun as parody but the definition's expanded.
