Yikes. What an embarrassing typo. I’m tempted to correct my careless error and replace today’s abomination…but then, I’d deprive my readers of the opportunity to ridicule me.
Teresa, seriously, I thought it was a deliberate pun, supposed to make us run through deep philosophical thoughts about knowing what matters ‘n’ stuff; you coulda bluffed it out. :-D
Anyway, I consider that sort of error a “typo”; and I consider typos to be acts of God.
It’s actually a homonymo. I do it all the time. Sometimes you hear a word in your head and it comes out of your fingers, only it’s the homonym.
A typo would be “ni matter what…” where your finger hits the wrong key.
A homonymo is just your fingers not agreeing with your mind. Probably happens only to reasonably nimble typists, who don’t need to think about the keys but just “let their fingers do the walking.”
Now, if Teresa penned the word rather than typed it, well…my theory is blown to bits (and so is the excuse I’ve offered her).
Chuckie’s filk is just a casual attempt. I am sure he could do better if he gave more than 10 minutes on it. But you ask 6 filkers this question and you’re guaranteed to get 22 answers. All different.
And Teresa, this FILKING came from a typo, an erroneous version of the word “folk”, as in “folk music”, so maybe your typo will have life of its own.

Yesterday – butterfly & muskrat love. Today – robot love.
Robot Love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqLIl6-1ZEU
human vs. machine emotion vs. logic freewill vs. destiny true love vs. unconditional love reality vs. fantasy ego vs. id
Must override core love programming with higher level logic. A human is greater than the sum of it’s parts. Is love what makes us human?

Given the character of your strip, Teresa, I thought it was intentional. Really!

Just replacing one word, and then repeating all of the same lyrics other than that one word, does not qualify as filking.
