Filk from a Developing Country is a gen filk zine, the first filkbook published in Germany. Most of its songs are original tunes with musical notation included. The parodied songs include:

  • Boy Heroes, based on: "The British Grenadiers"
  • When Filkers Go A-Roving, based on: "A-Roving in the Night"
  • Kulturkritiker (in German), based on: "Ja das Schreiben und das Lesen"
  • Another Little Beggarman, based on: "Jolly Beggarman"

The original tunes include "Klingon Schoolkids' Catechism" and "Ose Ode to Odo," along with several other Star Trek songs of various eras.

Albums

There are two related albums/filktapes, called "Filk from a Developing Country, Vol. 1: Neofan" and "Vol. 2: Beyond." They were released in 1993, before the songbook was published.
