New Song: "We Are The Fandoms" (Patreon)

I admit it: to get this out the door, I used a karaoke track. Quick 'n' dirty. The audio will be completely redone, with harmonies and cool effects and everything. Meantime, I think it still sounds pretty good. Many thanks to Anne for serious amounts of help sprucing up the lyrics.

Music: "We Are The Champions" by Freddie Mercury

I’ve paid my dues with technology,I ran my kitchen with an Apple 2e.But ordinary folks still call me a nerdBut the nerds are dictating the culture, or haven’t you heard?(Up up down down left right left right B A start)

We are the fandoms, my friends,The main demographic that spends,The collectible market, our demand sparked it,Show us the cool merch, ‘cause we are the fandoms...Of the world!

Six middle-earth films, Harry Potter’s got ten,Marvel did twenty-two and now with Phase 4 they’ll start over again.We love Shakespeare and Austen, but manga’s sublime,And zombies and kaiju, and SuperWhoLock, it’ll sell every time!(Shut up and take my money, money, money now!)

We are the fandoms, my friends,And we dictate cultural trends,Gaiman, McFarlane, media darlings,No boring cop shows,‘cause we are the fandoms...Of the world!

We are the fandoms, my friends,And our memes justify the weekends,Imagination will beat stagnation,Now is the future, for we are the fandoms...
