Since this was Mari's suggestion, I have to enter it. "Ron Artest" to another song I swore I'd never attempt.

I'm gonna go with "Red State Woman," even at the risk of making some of you see blue. Er, red.

A recording of the original is available at http://www.spaff.com/dktos

Here you go...

It got beat up by a couple of folks on its first go 'round...but I'm still VERY proud of it...and stand by it...

"I Saw His Body Hair"

http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/thebeatles906.shtml

  I'm entering "Heights of Flight That When/Late Delusion" to Moody Blues' Nights in White Satin/Late Lament:

Considering I only wrote parody during the entire month of November...

"Stuck on Your Sword" parody of "Part of Your World"

Well, the last weekend seems to have been my best part of the month, I´ll go with "Meet the Parents":

You're More Like A Brother To Me (tune of She's Always A Woman To Me by Billy Joel):

I'm trying to figure out how Spaff could NOT enter "It's the Most Wonderful Kind of Brassiere" and submitting CBS.

In past years I've sometimes experienced the blues around the Christmas holiday season, from all the commercialism, the incessant and insipid MUZAK in the stores, the pressure to shop and spend and buy buy buy ... This year I'm feeling better about the holidays, as I try to relax more and meditate on what Christmas is really all about...hence, my entry:

The Weight

Link to my temporarily-posted free MP3 of the original song, also titled "The Weight", by The Band

:)

Now that I again have a new parody, I might as well enter it. http://www.amiright.com/parody/90s/britneyspears114.shtml
I'm sure everyone has heard the original already, this time.

Something about Vincent van Gogh has always appealed to me, so this is my entry

http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/davidleeroth8.shtml

good luck everyone!

I have never entered before so I hope I don't screw this up. ;D
This was my first entry back after a LOOOOONG hiatus.
http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/kennyrogersdollyparton0.shtml

;D I have to enter this contest, if only to vote for other songs.
I'll use my third parody as an entree even though Dee Range did a much better job spoofing this song.

He's clearly toying with us, like when Ken Jennings would tie the daily Jeopardy winning amount record when he could've shattered it easily a number of times.  He's e-vil, I tell you.

Anyway:    http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/marvingaye10.shtml

Since ALL my parodies have been posted in November, I can't decide... ::)

But I like "My Computer's Too Slow" the best.  Just because it is Queen - http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/queen213.shtml

http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/helenreddy15.shtml

"I Am Woman" Based on the performance by Helen Reddy
"I'm Religion"

Senility seems to be sinking in over in my corner...thought I had posted this already..."Oh, Man (Look At My Wife)", done to Neil Young's "Old Man"

http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/neilyoung39.shtml

Here goes again

Merry & Pippin's entry is :

Bungeed From The Roof

Based on Duran Duran's "Hungry Like The Wolf"

D'Oh!  Forgot all about submitting this month :-( though of my couple of dozen or so this month, there ain't any real goodies.  Ah well...

Well, you´re still allowed to vote...

I kinda liked the one you wrote about cats and I think that it might have picked up some votes.

And I also think I´m not the only one who would back a suggestion to let you in late if it wasn´t for the fact that the first votes have already been casted now.

Maybe there could be a rule that late entries ARE allowed UNTIL the first vote has been casted... and with the siderule that those entries automatically loose in a tie situation so as to keep the/some incentive for submitting in time... or something like that.

If you take it upon yourself to form the phrase for that rule, and post it as a suggestion in the right thread, I´ll probably support it.

Yeah, I meant to respond to Phil's post earlier but forgot.  It occurred to me to just let him in -- especially since he's proven to be good about the voting commitment -- but I didn't want to abuse my position, making exceptions, playing favorites or whatnot.  I guess my feeling is if someone really wants to participate, the entry window is certainly large enough as it is and my vote would be to avoid complicating things.  But as always, I'll abide by the majority decision if they decide to change it.

Oh, go ahead and change it...it's all just for fun anyway!  I for one don't mind if you "abuse your position" in this regard, Claude...all I ask is, please, don't abuse your position where I have to watch, or where you'll make a mess...  ;D

I don't want an exception made just for me - I actually had my submission ready to go (the Marseillaise parody), but thought I'd find a MIDI for those who didn't know the song.  Then I had a support call, had to install a bit of software that restarted the PC and didn't get back till wednesday.  C'est la vie.

PS That's just my excuse for not entering a round I've got no chance of winning... I had one of my most prolific months with 22 parodies, but none were *that* good.

I didn´t mean it to be just for you and just this month, because there has been votes cast already and even though highly likely we can not know if those voters intend to visit the voting thread during the rest of the present month so they might miss out on the possible addition of another contestant, I was thinking more in terms of a rule for months to come.

*Whipes forehead after writing that sentence*.

Evil, certainly. But I ain't no Ken Jennings. Like that country song says, "I'm just a writer of simple songs - I don't know Iraq from Iran or my butt from a hole in the ground, but I do like to toss down a cold one with Jesus." Truth is, I only had two November submissions to choose from, and the comments on "Red State Woman" were much more enthusiastic than the ones on "It's the Most Wonderful Kind of Brassiere." So I chose Bush over boobs.

So I chose Bush over boobs.

And wouldn't we all, given the same choice? ;)  Personally, I prefer songs with that kind of bite: IMO "Red State Woman" is a much sharper and wittier parody... so it's probably going to pick up fewer votes...
