It's like someone took two separate forms of geekiness, distilled them, and created an *all new* form of geekiness

It's not really new. This sort of filk music, has been around for a while.

A gent I know - named Steve Macdonald - had the audacity to take JK Rowling fiction, meld it with music written by The Who, and create the musical, Harry.

A snippet for you, some lyrics to a song that is sung to the tune of "Pinball Wizard"...

SNITCH-BALL WIZARD

Ever since I was a young boy, I've sought the golden ball.
From Hogwarts down to London, I must have seen them all.
But I ain't seen nothin' like him, On any a broomstick's thrall.
That kid with the lightning scar
Sure plays a mean Snitch ball.

He floats just like a falcon, Becomes part of the blue sky
Dodging all the Bludgers, Boy that kid can fly!
He plays by intuition, He can't be caught at all
That kid with the lightning scar
Sure plays a mean Snitch ball.

Chorus
He's a Snitch-ball wizard,
There has to be a twist.
The Snitch-ball wizard's
Got such a supple wrist...
