Hope no one minds me posting this here; it's a couple of old song parodies I wrote way back when, and felt like sharing (I edited out all the fandom-specific references, though).
Behold, the Fangirl Carmen... Fear the operatic filk! ;)P
"Fandom" (sung to Habanara)
Fangirls are a crazy bunch
Who no one can hope to explain.
They are difficult to refuse;
To get rid of them is in vain.
Nothing will move them, neither menace nor prayer.
My fandom is now mum.
It is he who I prefer,
He has said nothing, but I like them dumb.
Fandom... Fandom!
Fandom... Fandom!
A fangirl knows not the law;
She is like a roguish elf.
If you don't love her, she loves you,
And if she loves you, watch yourself!
Chorus:
Watch yourself!
If you don't love me...
If you don't love me, I love you!
Chorus:
Watch yourself!
And if I love you, if I love you...
Watch yourself.
The bird I hoped to surprise
Has flapped its wings and flown away.
Love is far; you hope to wait for it.
You stop waiting, and here it stays.
All around you, faster, faster...
Love comes, it goes; here it is, at last!
You hope to hold it, it evades you;
You hope to evade it, and it holds you fast.
Fandom... Fandom!

Chorus:
Watch yourself!
If you don't love her...
If you don't love her, she loves you!
Chorus:
Watch yourself!
And if she loves you... If *I* love you...
Watch yourself!
"Song of L'Objet de Rule"
(sung to Song of the Toreador)
Gentlemen, I return your toast.
Senors, senors, I understand your plight.
Yes, yes! Like you, I am a villain,
And when I see a fangirl I must take flight!
Now, fangirls, you can find them anywhere;
Unfortunately, they are everywhere.
They have a habit of losing their minds
When they see a villain. So, be aware!
Their drooling cries and their obsessive screams
Can sound exactly like a maddened song!
You must be brave!
You must be strong!
Come on! On guard! Come on! Come on! Oh...
Chorus:
L'objet de rule, be on your guard!
L'objet de rule! L'objet de rule!
And keep in mind wherever you are,
Your fans' eyes watch you!
And that they drool for you, l'objet de rule!
They scream and drool for you!

Oh, weird side note... I came across someone using the "l'objet d'rool" reference in a Ranma 1/2 fic once. 0_o (BTW, that's how I originally spelled it; I changed it above so the French would look more correct. ^_^;) Since I'm fairly sure I made up that phrase, it was a bit of a shock, to say the least...
