Okay, Johnny's and Martha's were both excellent and well crafted, Rick's and Ethan's were both a hoot, but I have to give my top vote to:

Jan Unwin - Band Aids are Fun :)

Downloaded, read, voted, commented, and in one case searched through news reports. It only took 47 minutes! This isn't a popularity contest, it's a song contest, so I read the parody before I read who the author is. I'm gonna go with #9.

I had to choose between two of my favorite people. Jan and Johnnie. I'm giving it to Johnnie #9 because he was challenged to do something with an impossible song and turned into a wonderful rant.

I have a feeling this one will be a major sweep: Talkin 'Bout a Revolution #9. ;D

Shame I can't vote for 4 parodies, but I'm voting for my long time favorite parody, #10 Beverly Hillbilly Gates by Guy DiRito.
I really really liked these as well...Bettin' on the Reds, Burnin' Fridges, and Blow the Nation's Nose.  Tough choice!

I'm with Meriadoc on this one, folks!  Jan Unwin's "Band-Aids Are Fun" made me actually laugh out loud when I read it the first time, and it did again today!

So I'm happily casting my vote for:

#13: http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/paulmccartneyandwings15.shtml

I really liked "Bears," "Bettin' on the Reds" and "Bill Gates," but am voting for "Blowing the Nation's Nose," which is classic!

Wow!  Lots of good stuff here.  Surprisingly, some of the newer stuff I've never heard was excellent, including one which was a double DKTOS (don't know the original story either!) I'll have to go with #6, "Burning Fridges."  The visual imagery was great.  Hey, was there any macaroni in that fridge?

Yep, lots of good ones here... taken me a bit of trying to find originals as I didn't know more than half.  But I'm afraid I'll have to go for the biggest tit (oops, I mean hit) of the lot:

Boob Operation

Another great set of parodies. This is an excellent way to catch great parodies I would have missed otherwise, which is the whole point. After much deliberation...

"Boob Operation"

Spaff

uh-oh  :( looks like i somehow forgot to cut and paste that one i'm gonna make sure to double and triple check next time. Anyway since this was entirely my fault i think i'll make an exception and stick it into the next round


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i'm pushing the voting back to the 30th in case people don't find the board in time... and because this weekend is spring arts weekend and i don't plan on spending much time at my computer

My vote goes to Johnny's parody of Desolation Row....

an epic!

I'm glad the voting deadline got extended because I had a hard time making up my mind.  I finally narrowed it down to four current event parodies (Spaff's "Bettin' on the Reds," Johnny D's "Blow the Nation's Nose," Guy DiRito's "Beverly Hillybilly Gates," and Martha DTox's "Boardroom Blues").  All were good, but I am going with #17 Spaff for some very clever rhyming.

I've got to go with:

Number 3
"Come Together" Based on the performance by Beatles
"Bad Snowman" Parody by Adagio

This parody was in another contest and I voted for something different that time and it was a very tough decision.  This parody is very clever and funny and probably one of Adagio's best works.  I feel that I need to recognise it this time.  It is a worthy contender.  It has that laugh out loud quality about it and mimics the original fantasticly with its absurdness. 

Well done Adagio!

Brilliant result  congrats Johnny

Congratulations Johnny!  Your song was excellent and certainly deserving.  I hope I at least made you sweat it out a little  ;D

Congratulations, Johnny D, for a very well deserved honor.  Dr. Hall would be proud of you.

Well done JD.  DKTOS but it was a monumental undertaking to get that song out so fast after that challenge.  Well deserved.  So hurry up and win again so I don't have to compete with you any more.   ;)
