Make it to any SF/fantasy convention, and look around for the filkers.
They'll likely have something like that handy, and be willing to play you
a few bars - I've never met a filker who wasn't *always* looking for any
excuse to show off their new material. :)

Or it's the audio portion of a YouTube clip where they rant their opinions
about the movie.

Or....

Moral: Just because *you* can't conceive of a legit use of a filename doesn't
mean that somebody isn't engaging in quite proper "fair use".

I meant the "He he you said <word>" looping they could get caught in - one
would say the word, the other would alert on it.  Similarly, you get one group
injecting files, the other flagging the same files...
