You write too fast. :o If you were to submit these as is, I would rank no higher than 333. Pacing drops as the songs progress, some of the lines don't make any sense, and there isn't much funny stuff going on. I can be more specific later if desired, but that's the overall picture.
Have you read the various threads about parody writing yet? ???

Jack
I'm not a parody writer at all but I thought I'd stick in my two pence. I couldn't work out what song the first parody was supposed to be. The second one I had problems pacing it to the original, for example the second line doesn't seem to fit the original at all. Also I think most people tend to stick to the rhyming pattern of the original which means that this line "They ask me out when I;ve gone stag" doesn't fit well (plus I've no idea what it means). I also think the overall parody is weak on ideas. Being nerdy is much more than wearing glasses and being a Star Trek fan.

Karen's right...
For the DKTOS crowd, the first song is "All Right Now" by Free, and the second one is "California Girls" by The Beach Boys.
