With “thanks” to @wendynather for planting the earworm this morning.

Running Up That Bill
To the tune of Running Up That Hill
With apologies to Kate Bush

It disconcerts me
‘Cause I wanna know if it feels
‘Cause I wanna know, know why it concerns me
Do you wanna hear about the deal that I'm making?
Truth, it's truth we’re leaving

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with Claude
And I'd get it to slop our papers
Be vibing up that code
Be running up that bill
Be running out of tokens
Say, if I only could, ooh

Truth could never hurt me
But see how much the model lies
Unaware. It’s just designed for plunder
Ooh, its a blunder on our parts

Is there so much hate for the world we loved?
Oh, tell me, truth does matter, don't she?
Fool, it's fooling me
It's fooling me to make me be happy

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with Claude
And I'd get it to slop our papers
Be vibing up that code
Be running up that bill
Be running out of tokens
Say, if I only could, ooh

Fool
It's fooling me
It's fooling me to make me be happy

Oh, come on, Claude bot. Oh, come on, Co-P
We’ll let you steal this world from us now
Oh, come on, Gem’ni. Come on, come on, Chat-G
We’ll discard our experience, ooh

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with Claude
And I'd get it to slop our papers
Be vibing up that code
Be running up that bill
Make more problems

Say, if I only could
I'd make a deal with Claude
And I'd get it to slop our papers
Be vibing up that code
Be running up that bill
It’s your problem

So if I only could
I'd make a deal with Claude
And I'd get it to slop our papers
Be vibing up that code
Be running up that bill
With prompt goblins

So if I only could
Be running up that bill
With drunk golems

If I only could, be running up that bill
If I only could, be running up that bill

Filkeinander Album released!

https://liedertausch.bandcamp.com/album/filkeinander

❤️ 🌻 🎵

Ein Liedertausch unter Deutschsprachigen Filker:innen.

Hört doch rein: es ist pay-what-you-want und alle Einnahmen werden an "Ein Platz für Kinder" gespendet.

Und es ist wunderschön geworden.

Das war jede lange Nacht beim Üben und Aufnehmen wert. (ich bin Draketo)

𝅘𝅥𝅮 Take me down to the Parasite City
Where the tax is high and the goods flow freely.
Oh, won't you take me to Rome!
Yeah, yeah. 𝅘𝅥𝅮

Every day
things are gettin' louder
as our future crumbles into powder.
Surely there's some
way to get away --
a-hey, a-hey-hey?

Every day
things are goin' faster
on a roller-coaster to disaster.
Things just surely
can't go on this way
a-hey, a-hey-hey.

And a timely new (non-political) filk song from Tom Smith:

"Ominous Folk Balads"

🎶 Welcome to May, all the flowers have bloomed,
But if you're in a folk song you’re probably doomed.
There's a few simple rules, stuff that you shouldn't do,
Or the next victim of the folk ballad curse
Just might be you. 🎶

I need to post something stupid. Don't keep me away from my tea for 4 hours. I already gave up coffee.

Sung roughly to the tune of Daisy Bell. #tea #filk #caffeine
