[filk] Pegasus: better brainstorms for S&S and Space Opera?

[mneme]

The brainstorms for the Sword and Sorcery and Space Opera songs for 2005 have only one problem.

Very few of them are actually S&S or Space Opera songs.

Does anyone have any better ideas?

Remember, to be eligable, songs need to not -ever- had won -- so anything on http://www.ovff.org/pegasus/winners/index.html is ineligable.

Here's what I've got so far:

Space Opera:

Signy Malory, Fuel to Feed the Drive, and Rocket Ride (from the brainstorming list) are close enough.
Running a blank on other things -- maybe Galaxy Quest or Star Wars songs?

Sword and Sorcery:

Lammas Night
drawing a blank after that.

Help?

I'm sure there a pile of songs from Bujold about *shudder* Miles and his military successes. Though I'd suggest two Harold Feld songs, one about Miles' cousin, and the B5 one about Londo.

Lemme sort out thoughts on S&S. Too much too close but no cigar going on there.

Locked Up for a Year in a Spaceship with No Women Blues, unknown (Clif Flint?)

Nope, Joe Haldeman.

There are songs by Jordin Kare, "All Debts Are Paid" or whatever the name of it is, and others.

There are songs by Juanita Coulson [blanking on titles and such]

There's --horrors--Young Man Mulligan
