This came about as a result of a typo on a posting I did on an e-mail list I belong to, a computer gremlin or alien hand taking over.

I said "Now I'm gonna be humming the SON all day. Someone's bound to ask why. And I'll just smile and say, "Oh, no reason" and hum away....."

The answer that came back was, "Whose son? I've definitely been watching too many Saturday Night Live skits about Hummers."

I was referring to the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy song, but as usual Idgi's wonderful mind came up with a filk.

 
Don't Let Your Son Take X-Files From Me

I can't stand no more of your smoking
My files and poster burnt to ash of black and white
I'm growing tired of lies you throw before me
Frozen here in the basement of my life
Too late to save my files from burning
You took it all and changed my way of life
But then you changed it the day I first saw you
Took my Sam and left me blinded by the light
Don't let your son take X-Files from me
Although I know myself, it's the X-Files I really need
It's more than a fragment of my life you took, can't you see?
Cos losing everything is like your son taking X-Files from me
I can't find the right, pertinent line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just cos you think I won't do you harm
Cos these cuts I have need something to help them heal
Don't let your son take X-Files from me
Although I know myself, it's the X-Files I really need
It's more than a fragment of my life you took, can't you see?
Cos losing everything is like your son taking X-Files from me
