I agree, Kenny. :) ;)

Seriously, you have like millions of songs that deserve an award. Who knows, maybe you'll pick some up at the 2nd annual AmIRight Awards!.

I'll give my polite golf clap for Chris and the 3.14159 song  :)  As a parody writer and a math geek, this has always been one of my favorites, ever since there were only like ten songs on the site!  

Junior, thanks for doing all that work...all great parodies in there!

that song predates amiright by about 4 years.. I think he emailed it to me for use on inthe80s (before it was inthe80s, ChuckyG's 80s Music Page (man that was an awful site name)).. back in oh, 1996 or 1997.. so it's been kicking around awhile..

I should also add, that without that parody, amiright would have just been a misheard lyrics site.. since it was the reason I split the site into two sections.. (and 30 or something different subjects, who knows how many?).. it encouraged others to send in parodies to inthe80s, and gave me the motivation to try and setup the parody section, which I thought would get like 2 or 3 submissions a week..

Quoting:
I think that's when I first saw the site, when it was an 80s site.  There was definitely no voting yet.  I sent in "I've Got To Pee Now" back then, was happy it was out there on the web, then forgot about the site for about 2 or 3 years.  I was pretty surprised when I found it again, saw the voting stuff, and hundreds more parodies!

yup.. that was another of the "founder" parodies from inthe80s..

here's a snapshot from 1999... too bad my old ISP prevents caching of their pages, the archive would probably show them if it did..

My thoughts on all this:

S.T.G -- you the man. You deserve 6 wins.

William Tong, My Name Is Kenny, Lebeiw, & Tone-Def, as well as some others -- You all definitely deserved a couple more nominations & awards.

-- Lebeiw deserves major props on "amIright", he definitely was a bigger part of the parody than I, when he submitted it he put "Lebeiw15 & Junior", but it should be "Lebeiw15 (featuring Junior)" , he definitely deserves the headline :D --

But you were a very important part of that song.  You helped me out with my part, and your part was hilarious  :D

I think the voting took place before synchronos started posting here. Almost certain nominations were a long time ago. If the nominations were now maybe i would´ve had a chance too for something
End Quote

yup.. I believe most of the voting topics were held in late July or August.. Syncronos has only been posting a month or so now...

I think we should hold elections again in January.. twice yearly.. maybe by then I can think of a way to help automate things a bit.. so I could get the nominations and then post the voting topic with links to all the relevant parodies on the site.. it might help increase the amount of votes received, and thus result in a wider sample..

Maybe I should hold a monthly voting topic? hmmm... I'm getting an idea here.. maybe I could pick a topic, and allow parody authors to submit their best contribution (once it's been posted to the site) for consideration. Then, I would post the newly created voting topic on the site, and let people cast their votes.. maybe I should maintain voting by email to try and cut down on voter fraud?

I was going to do something like that, but I was thinking of new categories.. but maybe a monthly voting contest would be more interesting, and minimize the size of the page, so every parody author who entered would get equal billing on what they considered their best work? yeah.. I think I like this idea..

Xander- When I first met him he was weird, but then I realized that he is just like me, a parody artist

:'( - In a good way!

Yay! I gave off the weird vibe! Yay! I succeeded! But if ANYONE is gonna get drunk and pass out, it'll be me! I'll misread the autocues and fall off stage! The 3-9-Era will reign supreme...

8)You neeed a separate category for the 50s--it's silly to lump 50s music with the 60s.eparate Everly brothers category would be workable,too--they were very prolific and pretty easy targets for parody,as well.Cheers!
