For some reason I decided to see how many songs I could find in my iTunes library on the theme of "bugs." Butterflies are seriously over-represented in popular song, it turns out. And roaches are practically ignored. Huh. However by using a generous definition of the term "bugs" and with a little help from Thorin I managed to come up with 26 candidate songs! Some are admittedly a bit of a stretch, of course. If only one verse has a bug in it, does it qualify? ("Who Killed Cock Robin?"). Do microbes count? ("A Very Cellular Song.") How about superheroes with spider-themed costumes? No, that one's going too far.

I'm beginning to realize how useful those drawers of filk songs can be when doing a stupid theme collection. Unfortunately you need a native guide to find the one song about, for instance, cockroaches ("Black Flag").
