~~Vote by replying to voting thread with your three favorites in order:  Top choice gets 3 points, next gets 2 points, third favorite gets 1 point.
~~You're not allowed to vote for your own song.

~~Voting continues until the last day of the month ends.
~~Anyone who's participated in a SOTM contest may vote.

~~When the new month begins, the first person to enter the next contest should copy this message and start the new entry thread with it.

My entry is.......

Ear Doctor

My entry, "Ear Doctor", is a parody of David Seville's "Witch Doctor".

David Seville is most famous for "Alvin And The Chipmunks".

On the web page located at the following URL there is a link to a long, excellent sample of the original tune "Witch Doctor" ... this free audio sample gives you a complete chorus and samples of other verses, too:

Hmmm...three beer songs (two country, or one Air Supply), or a Britney Spears parody. 

My Baby Loves To Drink Beast Light From A Can

I look back at January and find the distance makes them somehow funnier. Must mean I'm grumpier now. Going with one of my pet peeves.

http://www.amiright.com/parody/misc/irvingberlin6.shtml

Drat, until early March I was an innocent AmiRight-free civilian, so I will have to bob up and down in anticipation until I can submit some of my newbies.
By the way, I do believe I introduced the phrase 'newbies' and feel great pride that my lovechild has infected many other people's vocabularies.
PS. If I didn't invent 'newbie' I will eat my keyboard, with extra relish on the 'page up' button.

bon appetit... hope you get a new keyboard soon

This parody made a cameo in another, very early tourney. It is, however, the best I can put forward for January. I also have a name-dropper chalupa parody, but SOTM is the wrong place for name-droppers.

Breaking the Seams  to "River of Dreams" by Billy Joel

Merry & Pippin's entry is :

Fifty Ways To Piss Off P.E.T.A.

Based on Paul Simon's "Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover"

January was a good month for me... it's hard to know what to choose.  Guess I'll go with

Mr Bean (to 'Killer Queen' by Queen)

Good idea to dredge up these missing months...my January was a banner month, in terms of new material and new styles. I will pop this one up as my January nomination, since it is still so relevant and won't ever get a chance to be heard like this again (at least I hope and pray that would be so):

("I Am the W" parody of "New Killer Star")

original lyrics at http://www.bowiewonderworld.com/songs/newkillerstar.htm

thanks to phil's program i can actually find my january songs without any trouble... i've already entered 3 january songs into contests so i'll go with this one:

bow wow

Shucks, too bad we're only rewinding back to January. If we went back to December, I'd have, like, a whole CD's worth to choose from, plus I'd finally have an excuse for all the plugging you see at left and below.

Anyhoo, I'll go with my unauthorized autobiography, "I'm a D-i-c-k," to Meredith Brooks's "B-i-t-c-h" (and d-a-m-n this board's naughty-word cleanser!):

Rick talked me into entering for January, even though I've been on hiatus for a while (working too hard  :D).  Here's one that I'd like to see get more exposure, so I'll expose myself ;) ...
