Summary: An official FoLC song for fanfic writers, sung to the tune of the world's first heavy metal song -- "Paperback Writer," by the Beatles.
(Original Lyrics by Paul McCartney)
Those of you on Compuserve may remember a post I put up a few months ago (or you may not...<G>) to the effect that despite everything we FoLCs have, something's missing. We need an official FoLC song. Well, I've given the matter some thought, and here's my contribution. It's to the tune of the world's first (and my favorite) heavy metal song. For those of you "uncultured louts" who still think Led Zeppelin was the first, or that Metallica is the best thing since sliced navels, even members of Led Zeppelin admit that Paperback Writer by the Beatles was technically the first. By the way, I had considered writing this with an accent, but I wanted to make sure everyone could understand what I was writing. I also wanted to avoid any inadvertent insults to our friends in England...

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my piece? It took me weeks to write, will you look, at least? Based on a show with a man named Cain, and I need a break, so I want to be a Fanfic Writer... Fanfic Writer!
It's the Super story of a Superman, But the world just doesn't understand. He and his wife work for the Daily Planet.. It's a steady job, but he wants to be a Fanfic Writer.... Fanfic Writer! Fanfic Writer....
It's a thousand Bytes, give or take a few, I'll be writing more in a day or two. I can make it longer if you like the style, I can change it 'round, and I want to be a Fanfic Writer... Fanfic Writer!
If you really like it, DC still has the rights, But Rhen can send it out overnight. If you want to comment, just send 'em here I just need a break, and I want to be a Fanfic Writer... Fanfic Writer! Fanfic Writer- Fanfic Writer...
(fade...)
