It was tough this time...Creativity, craft and laughs are my criteria...

3 pts. Rick
2 pts Johnny "Blow The Nation's Nose" J.
1 pts. Claude

If Johnny had not already been such a sweep in the ABC "B" Round, I would have voted him 3 pts, but I think it was time to let someone else have some glory.  ;) Rick wins for the craftiness (in construction and satire).  Claude gets the 1 pt. for sheer giggle factor pasted on top of such a sincere song.

As usual this is hard, and I have to omit ones I love. We have an additional rule, Mari and I won't vote for each other. So here goes: #16, Mer and Pip 3 points, because it made me laugh,#9 Phil 2 points, because it made me think, and Paul R. one point, because I was amazed he got it past the censor. Guy, Claude, Spaff, Jeff, Adagio, Agri all great.

Gee, what an out-of-body experience!  I've been out of the loop for a few weeks and have been missing this stuff!

I have not looked at any of the other votes (and had not let Rick tell me his choices) so as to be completely impartial.  As usual, there is a lot of good stuff from which to pick, but having only three choices, I pick...

1.  "Should I Pray 'Cause You Should Know"
2.  "Stupid Folding Chair"
3.  "Don't Drive So Close to Me"

Well, I'm happy 'cuz it sounds like a Freudian-slip-compliment of my own parody of "Sister Golden Hair" called "Stupid Human Trick":

Out of the list of possibilities:

Rick Duncan's Media Celebrity
Ethan Mawyer's Not Sick

I ended up choosing the last one. Spaff.com, that was awesome.

I'd love to give an honorable mentions list, but that would be about half of the songs list. Great job, everyone. I'm astonished I have my 1 point with the level of this competition.

Criminy, this was the toughest contest yet. And I'm not just saying that because that's the cliched thing to say. I'm bloody serious. I whittled away at my list of choices and finally got it down to ten. TEN. Narrowing it down further honestly stressed me out. So take your frickin' points, people - I've paid for them with my mental health.

Three to #7 - Media Celebrity
Two to #16 - Folding Chair
One to #15 - Not Sick

Honorable mentions to everyone else. And kudos to Jared for entering "Please No More Uranus." Deep down I was kinda hoping that everyone would enter Uranus, er, songs about Uranus, in the April contest. It would have been a Festival of Uranus. Uranus would have been everywhere. Uranus would be widespread and... nah, come to think of it, I'm glad it was just Jared.

Well, here I am just under the voting deadline.   A LOT of extremely good parodies here.  I think you could justifiably  vote for almost any of the entries, but we can only include three.  Here are my picks:

1st place:  #13 - "Sheep's Brain" by Mari Duncan
2nd place:  #16 - "It's A Folding Chair" by Merry & Pippin
3rd place: #12 - "That's Annoying" by Spaff

Here it is, sports fans. The moment you've been waiting for all month. It came right down to the wire on this one and the difference between 1st and 3rd place was only 4 points. And the winner is:

  Buy Barney's Smore Flavored Hard Ice Tea                                oh and Rick D won 

That's right, RICK DUNCAN is the WINNER, with 'Media Celebrity' !!!!!

Congradulations are in order for Rick Duncan and his masterful work, but also for all the other authors who made this competition the closest yet. Great job everyone.

1st Place: Rick Duncan - 23
2nd Place: Merry and Pippin - 21          for 'It's a Folding Chair'
3rd Place: Spaff.com - 19          for 'That's Annoying'

Guy DiRito - 11
Claude Prez - 10
Phil Alexander - 9
Jeff Reuben - 4
MooRocca - 4
Jared - 4
Mari Aranoff Duncan - 3
Ethan Mawyer - 3
Charlie Decker - 2

I'm stunned. I thought sure Mer and Pip were a chair-in. Mari and I are in the process of recording "Media" and will put it on soon. Especially since there are at least three people here who can use the same backing track for theirs. I'm thrilled to know that so many folks here at least appreciate G&S. I really do believe it take a somewhat higher brain function to mock music that it takes to just listen and dance to it.
