I hereby disclaim my rights to all things Gargoyles and South Park. This filk contains no original characters, so there’s no problem there.

“Blame Gargoyles”
So, some time back a few friends of mine were inspired to filk the whole of the Soundtrack to the South park movie to gargoyles…and I wound up joining in with my own addition altering “Blame Canada”. For those who were at the 2004 Montreal Gathering, you got to see Emambu perform this filk live, a capella, at the start of the Karaoke.
Originally I was going to write, “for the rest of you, the lyrics will have to suffice”, but I just found out that someone taped the performance and the vid for it is posted in Ask Greg.
Specifically, at http://s8.org/gargoyles/gathering2004/videos/Blame_Gargoyles.avi
As for the rest of the filks…well…that is a story for another night. ; )
Without further ado, I give you:
“Blame Gargoyles”
We’re enraged
Our kids are becoming nerds
They won’t play in the sunshine, they just go to s8 and converse
Should we blame the timeslots of the damn show on TV?
Or blame the heads of marketing at Disney?
No!
Blame Gargoyles! Blame Gargoyles!
With spiky heads and glowing eyes, and flapping wings ((We only glide!))
Blame Gargoyles! Blame Gargoyles!
We need to form a full assault- it’s Weisman’s fault!
You should see my son Stan
He saw the darn cartoon and now he wants to join a clan!
And my boy, I swear, once was a picture of mental health
But now when he grows up he wants to be an elf!
So…Blame Gargoyles! Blame Gargoyles!
It seems that everything’s gone wrong since gargoyles came along
Blame Gargoyles! Blame Gargoyles!
They’re not even a real species anyway…
My son could have been a doctor or a lawyer, oh it’s true
Instead he spends his time and money making winged costumes
Should we Blame Brynne Chandler? Or should we blame Frank Paur?
Or the Execs who allowed them to conspire?
Heck no! Blame Gargoyles! Blame Gargoyles!
With all their magic hullabaloo…and that bitch Demona too!
Blame Gargoyles! Shame on Gargoyles!
The show was so great
Before it’s too late
The laughter and fun
Must now be undone
So we’ll bitch and moan and then you’ll see-
We’ll make crappy changes and call it TGC!!
