====== Hallelujah Parodies ======

Meme loves to filk Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” as much as it likes to write [[william-carlos-williams-in-the-house|parodies of William Carlos Williams’ “This Is Just To Say.”]]

In January 2015, a troll was [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/118792.html?thread=609116680#cmt609116680|running all over meme]] and posting [[http://dememe.info/comments/1420662|the following comment]]: //"Hypocrisy is the claim or pretense of holding beliefs, feelings, standards, qualities, opinions, behaviors, virtues, motivations, or other characteristics that one does not in actual fact hold."// This led to the following parody:

//[[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/119134.html?thread=609162846#cmt609162846|I heard there was an anon thread]]//

//Where trolls posted to make things dead//

//But you don't really care for modding, do you?//

//It goes like this: The Hyp, the Cris//

//The minor Jar and the major Mish//

//The baffled meme, composed "what the fuck, huh?"//

//What the fuck? Huh? What the fuck, huh? What the fuck, huh, what the fuuuuuuuck, huh...//.

In February, a nonny [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/123674.html?thread=636129818#cmt636129818|started a thread]] about [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/371889649/the-shrimp-cloud|the Shrimp Cloud Kickstarter]]. Another [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/123674.html?thread=636296986#cmt636296986|anonfailed in the thread]] with, //“Hall-e-fucking-lu-jah. It's not even Leonard Cohen's best song!”// This kicked off a wave of filk:

  * //[[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/123674.html?thread=636301338#cmt636301338|And from the shrimp you drew the Hallelujah.]]//
  * //[[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/123674.html?thread=636307738#cmt636307738|And remember when I moved in you]]//\\
//The Holy Prawn was moving too//
  * //[[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/123674.html?thread=636310554#cmt636310554|But you don't really care for shellfish, do ya?]]//
  * //[[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/123674.html?thread=636314138#cmt636314138|The baffled king crab composing Hallelujah]]//
  * //[[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/123674.html?thread=636323866#cmt636323866|King David lusted for a waif.]]//\\
//He'd call her "shrimp," but shrimp are tref.//\\
//But you're not really keeping kosher, do ya?//
  * //[[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/123674.html?thread=636510234#cmt636510234|She steamed you in the bain-marie]],//\\
//She broke your shell, she picked you clean//\\
//And from your guts she drew tomalley-lujah…//

About a week later, in a discussion of an antisemitic troll from a previous post who’d claimed //“Jews are stalking me,”// [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/124853.html?thread=643085237#cmt643085237|one nonny-come-lately said]] they wished they’d seen the wank in time: //“I’d have informed them that I was coming after them with a minyan, and we were going to force them to forswear pork, shellfish, and Jesus at the point of a bris knife.”// Another said, //“This nonnie will gladly give up Jesus and pork, but you'll have to prise shellfish from my cold, dead hands.”// And that led to [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/124853.html?thread=643098037#cmt64309|this]]:

//Your trayf was nommed with 80-proof,\\
You didn't see us on the roof,\\
The smell of the paella overthrew ya\\
We tied you to a kitchen chair\\
We threw your cookpot down the stairs\\
And down your sink we washed tomalley, booyah!//
