It's not my job to make your life difficult, E-thang. I promise. It's just one of the fringe benefits.

Well, given that, as is common at this point, I only released one parody last month, I might as well enter it. It won't win, but I still think it was pretty good.

I Love My TI
Parody of I Love Rock and Roll
As always, for the duration of the contest, the original can be found at http://www3.hmc.edu/~afield/Joan_Jett_-_I_Love_Rock_And_Roll.mp3

I couldnt resist. I will find some time during this month to read all the songs and vote fairly. I promise. Here is my entry:

http://www.amiright.com/parody/misc/gilbertandsullivan25.shtml

I thought about sitting out, then I saw that author of the month thread and decided I better stay. Here's mine from The Marx Brothers "At the Circus" A parody of "Lydia the Tattooed Lady"

Walt Disney World

My most recent parody... of "don't tell me" by Avril Lavigne (the original should be very easy to download)

http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/avrillavigne223.shtml

http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/leannerimes1.shtml

"Little Help Please" to "The Right Kind Of Wrong"

The original song was featured on the movie Coyote Ugly & the soundtrack not one of LeAnne Rimes albums. I tried to find an mp3 but I didn't so all I can provide are the lyrics. You can still DL the song with a P2P program but if you don't have one... what's wrong with you, get one!

This is my first time entering (which to choose? Oooohhhh!) so I'm very nervous  :-\\
Here goes:

http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/thebeatles745.shtml

However much Kristof's entry makes me want to add my own tea-based song, I'm going to have to go for:

The Weapon Of Bold Knight Sir Farqharlot

...'cause I like it ;)

It looks like June might be the most competitive month yet.

I'm going with "Thetis, Don't Let Achilles Go Off to Invade Troy," a parody of Willie Nelson's "Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys."

http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/willienelson7.shtml

My entry for the month: http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/eltonjohn107.shtml
The One/The Shot ;D Kinda nervous... first posting...

http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/timmcgraw5.shtml

best song we've written in over 6 months. maybe somebody will read it now. lol.

I don't know why I'm bothering, no-one ever knows the original songs to begin with, but here's ''Nostalgia" to Eminem's "Soldier":

http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/eminem170.shtml

Possibly, Luke, it's because by entering something of yours that you think is good enough, it inspires us oldies who only just about know who Eminem is to go and try listening to it.

I'm doubling up my Letter K entry as Song of the Month, but only because I think I only wrote one new one last month. Which would be:

I don't keep track of when I submitted my songs -- do I just go by the date on the first comment?  Or is the actual post date recorded somewhere?

  I go by the date of the first comment.  I hope that's right.

the date used to be posted with the author pages but it disappeared when all traces of the top ten lists were removed

Easiest way is to go here and do a browser search (Ctrl+F) for "Leo Jay" (or whoever...)

How do you do a browser search?  I found one of mine on the open page, but I did more for that month (June).  Is there a way to find ALL of them? (For that month, about 3 :-\\)

Ok, I'll try anything once.  I'm in.

"The Death of Ron (Theme from 'Operation Serenade')" by Robert J. Pagliaro

http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/paulhenning9.shtml

I'd just like to say welcome to all our new participants:  EmiLoca, Brit, Kristof, Ash, Leo, and Robert (if I missed anyone I swear it wasn't on purpose).  If you're nervous, don't be....I SAID DON'T BE DAM*IT!!!!  Seriously, the best way to enjoy it is to think of it as just a good way to get lots of people to look at your song, and all you have to do is look at theirs.  Good luck all.

  How do I do a browser search for ALL of a month's songs by me?  Using CNTRL + F, I only found what was on that page.  ???  ???

Just go to the 'new entries' page and right at the top you will see:


"There is also a list of all parodies on the site, by when they were entered"


with a clickable link!

Ctrl+F to find... IE's a bit of a pain with this: you can't do a "Find Again" without the find dialog open, but you can just run through by clicking "Find Next" without closing that dialog - my advice: get Opera, then just use F3

..I made it four, BTW

Merry & Pippin's entry

Tic In Her Eye

http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/thebeatles739.shtml

to the tune of The Beatles' "Ticket To Ride" 

I don't keep track of when I submitted my songs -- do I just go by the date on the first comment?  Or is the actual post date recorded somewhere?


From now on, I am including date submitted in my "comments" section for each new song.

<------- Ain't she loverly?  ::)



Thanks much!


Who's that? (Your icon)  hehe...I just realized that I was pointing to myself

That WAS the one, the only... Ms. Vanessa Williams. 
But obviously, I've now changed it...

Easiest way is to go here and do a browser search (Ctrl+F) for "Leo Jay" (or whoever...)



Thanks, Philbo -- I'd seen Merry's helpful advice before I saw yours.  Thanks to you both.

I changed my entry at 11:20 PM Eastern Daylight Saving Time, July 7th.

My entry is:

" Amish Aerobics ", a parody of The Trammps' disco classic from the movie Saturday Night Fever, " Disco Inferno ":

http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/thetrammpssoundtrackfromsaturdaynightfever0.shtml

No fair, Johnny...lol  ;D  (j/k btw)

Here's one that was briefly the Greatest Song in the World  ;D

http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/d1219.shtml


Thank you. *salutes*

OK, it's my first nomination. Be kind.

Here's a little song about personal hygene: "I Gotta Wash My Hands" to the tune of a familiar Beatles tune...

http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/thebeatles736.shtml

Hope you like it!

Maya and Mason - the deadline for entering June Song of the Month was July 8. Note that the voting thread was placed on the board already a few days ago. Sorry you missed it this month, but please enter next month. Claude will take entries for July SOTM from Aug 1 - Aug 8. Any parody submitted to AmiRight in July will be eligible.

M :)

Yeah, I'm afraid Meriadoc is right.  I'm really really sorry because I want to encourage more participation but at least one person has already voted and others have already begun.  Again, please feel free to enter next month and good luck (and thanks Merry).

Is this where you vote???

My votes are:
1st...Spaff's Madonna "tribute"...just about the best thing I've ever read
2nd...Philbo's "Sir Farqharlot" parody...A Carry On movie in song form
3rd: Johnny D's "Amish Aerobics"...just for the bizarre concept alone!

Can I also give an honourable mention to Emi's "Be our Guest" parody? If I had another vote, she'd get it!!!

Good luck!! Kristof 8)

A recent attempted late entry and a vote on the wrong thread -- I always get confused myself. 

Is there anyway to close the submission and voting threads once the deadlines pass?

Actually, there is a voting thread (easy to find, now that you know to look for it).  You can either vote there, or I'll move your votes over later if you don't get around to it.  Also, honourable mentions are fairly routine; you can give as many as you like.  Thanks, Kristof.
