Hello Everyone,

I've made my choices. ;D

Third Place:  Red State Woman by Spaff.com
Second Place:  Meet the Parents by Know 1 can hear you dream
First Place:  CBS by John Jenkins

This was really hard!  There are some great entries but here are my picks:
First: Grandma makes her living as a stripper by MooRocca    :o
Second: Meet the parents by K1CHYD
Third: Red state woman by Spaff

  They are all good, and I'm not just saying that.  Just when I thought I had a winner, another one would come along!  :)
  Anyway, my choices:

  3 points to Merry and Pippin #20  ;D

  2 points to MooRocca #15  ;D

  1 point to Johnny D #9  :)

This was difficult;

3 pts #1 Emi

2 pts #15 MooRocca

1 pt #11 Stuart

I wanted to make a clean sweep with the women, but Stu bumped you, Arwen

This was difficult;

3 pts #1 Emi

1 pt #11 Stuart

Since #1 is...you, I assume you mean #5 for Emi for 3 pts?

Oops. Too many numbers. Yes, Emiloca fot 3 pts, she is NUMBER five on the list.

Stuart wishes he could bump me, Rick... ;)

Stuart wishes he could bump me, Rick... ;)




with the odd selective-censorship on this site, bump could easliy have been b***

which would have made your comment read very flirtatiously in Australia, Arwen ;)

That was a "B", not an "H"

That was a "B", not an "H"


Oh...right...

Dammit.

That was a "B", not an "H"


Might as well ...

All bumping aside...here are my votes:

3 points for Mr. Reuben, who followed me around for months collecting research for his November entry.

2 points for MooRocca, who's entry will be giving me nightmares for years to come... ;)

1 point for Claude...I'll admit that I'm addicted to celebrity gossip magazines...not quite as bad as tabloids...at least that's my justification...

3 pts. to  #3.  I Saw His Body Hair by Arwen

2 pts.to #6.  Meet the Parents by Know 1 can hear you dream

1 pt. to #14.  I Read It In the Tabloids by Claude Prez

It is always difficult to evaluate and compare parodies that have different topics and are based on different original songs.  It was particularly difficult this month, when I concluded that the two best parodies were Johnny D’s “The Weight” and MooRocca’s “Grandma Makes Her Living as a Stripper.”  One is the epitome of reverence and the other shows absolutely no respect for grandmothers.  But, even though (or maybe because) I happen to be married to a grandmother, I am going with parody #15. 

3 points - MooRocca - #15 - Grandma Makes Her Living as a Stripper

2 points - Johnny D - #9 - The Weight

1 point - Rick Duncan - #1 - Ron Artest

I think I said a few months back something like even though political parodies can be funny they´re not funny enough to (IMO) be in SOTM. But that darn Spaff proved me wrong again! It was also a bonus that I got to learn that the colour red has the opposite political meaning in the states compared to Scandinavia. Which is very confusing cos religious references/reasonings aside his parody hits close to home to some of the redest and provinsialistic people I know over here! OK, so maybe I got/found some extra levels in it but that´s the way it is.

3 Points: Spaff.com´s “Red state woman”

2 Point: MooRocca´s “Grandma makes her living as a stripper”

1 Point: Claude Prez “I read it in the tabloids”

Stellar round. I really enjoyed going through the entries. I've said this before, but it's physically painful for me to look at my list of favorites and have to cross some of them off. I mean I honestly get a headache.

3 points: #14, "I Read It in the Tabloids"
2 points: #15, "Grandma Makes Her Living as a Stripper"
1 point: #6, "Meet the Parents"

xoxox
Spaff

OK, let's see;

3 points - "Stuck on Your Sword" Parody by EmiLoca #5
2 points - "I Read It In the Tabloids" Parody by Claude Prez #14
1 point - "Red State Woman" Parody by Spaff.com #2

3 points for #20.  Bungeed From The Roof by Merry and Pippin

2 points for #15.  Grandma Makes Her Living As a Stripper by MooRocca

1 point for #1.  Ron Artest by Rick Duncan

All of them were brilliant - I had 9 in my top 3 - regretfully I had to let 6 go....


#3  Arwen:            3 points
#7  Jeff Reuben:     2 points
#5  Emiloca:           1 point

phew

Three points for #8 (John Jenkins)

Two points for # 15 (MooRocca)

One point for #2 (Spaff)

Great job everybody.

My votes:

3 pts :  17.  I'm Religion by Guy DiRito

2 pts :  6.  Meet the Parents by Know 1 can hear you dream

1 pt :  14.  I Read It In the Tabloids by Claude Prez

3 pts to #17 - Guy's "I'm Religion"

2 pts to #5 - Emi's "Stuck on Your Sword"

1 pt to #14 - Claude's "I Read it in the Tabloids"

Found this one a very hard round to choose a 1-2-3...
3 points almost inevitably to #2 - Red State Woman: ain't nothing finer than a funny and sharp satire
2 points to #1 - Rick's Ron Artest - if only because it's a sports parody I enjoyed start to finish
1 point to #15  - MooRocca's Grandma (so to speak)

I started mentioning honourables... but realized I was about to list pretty much all the rest.

Well, I did kind of a rush job cause I totally forgot about needing to vote until just now... but I'm pretty confident I'd vote about the same way regardless.

1st place: Spaff's Red State Woman
2nd place: Reuben's You're More Like a Brother to Me
3rd place: super hard choice between MooRocca's Grandma and Claude Prez's Tabloids. Geez. I'll go with the latter (Claude's), I guess.

All parodies this round were an absolute JOY to read, and it is my pleasure to announce the lucky three "randomly-chosen" parodies that will get the prestigious VOTES OF EMI.

3 points embossed in golf leaf, graciously received by#20. Merry and Pippin for "Bungeed From the Roof"

2 points discreetly passed in a briefcase to #8. John Jenkins for "CBS"

1 point shoved into the arms of a surprised and bewildered #14. Claude Prez for "Read It In the Tabloids"

3 pts:  #3 Arwen for her Hairy Potter...I mean Body hair parody
2 pts:  #20, Merry and Pippen bungee jumping
1 pt:  #11 Stu for catching my ear with a Van Gogh parody

3 points to Spaff for # Red State Woman
2 points to John Jenkins for #8  CBS
1 Point to  Claude for # 14I read it in the tabloids

Excellent round .... comments following later today......

OK - this month was just about impossible - every entry was BEYOND very, very good...really...but here goes:

1st place    #15  MooRocca's tale of Granny's tits...
2nd place    #20  Merry & Pippin's sad Bungee saga
3rd place    #14  Claude P's Tabloid tale

Great stuff one and all! 

First Place:  "Grandma Makes Her Living as a Stripper" by MooRocca -- 24 points

Second Place:  "Red State Woman" by Spaff.com -- 16 points

Third Place:  "I Read It in the Tabloids" by Claude Prez -- 14 points

Congratulations to MooRocca, Spaff, and myself and thanks to all who voted, especially those who didn't have to.  Only Guy DiRito failed to vote, which is understandable with the holidays and all.  But still, unfortunately, he'll forfeit his six votes and be ineligible to participate in the December contest.  But he'll still be welcome in the Wild Card Contest which starts today as well.  Thanks everybody and great round as usual.

Congratulations MooRocca, Spaff and Claude!!  ;D

Congratulations MooRocca, Spaff and Claude!!   ;D

I second those Congrats!  It was a true honor to be totally drubbed in this competition by those (and about 19 other) very excellent works.  Happy New Year to all!

Later...

pr

:o  No way!  I've never even made the top three in a SOTM, before.  Thanks everybody!  :)  Congrats to Spaff and Claude, too!     

Congratulations MooRocca, Spaff, and Claude!  And Happy New Year to all!  Medals shall be created and posted soon.

I've never even made the top three in a SOTM, before. 


I know; until this month, you were my pick to win the wild card round.  About time, I'd say.

Congratulations to MooRocca, Spaff, and Claude for earning this well deserved recognition.

And, Claude, I was impressed that you were able to tabulate the votes so quickly on New Year's Day.

:D

A well-deserved 1-2-3, and an impressive contest, too.

;D
Congratulations, Mehli, Spaff, and Claude.
This was fun. :)

Yes, well done MooRocca, Spaff and Claude

I remember I had to squeeze about 9 into my top 3, but all the above were there, and worthy winners all

- excellent round

Congrats to MooRocca, Spaff and Claude and thanks to everyone who voted and commented on our entry. :)

Well, it's about d a m n time.

Great round, everyone. Congrats to MooRocca and Claude, two of the authors whose stuff first convinced me I wanted to loiter in Chucky's hood.

As for my making into the top three, I'm surprised, honestly. I assumed that such a political rant would alienate too many of you to stand a chance. But evidently it didn't, so thank you for your votes - and I hereby announce that from now on ALL of my stuff is going to be bitter political attacks on the Right.

Heh heh.

Ooo!  Ooo!  Now you simply MUST post a photo of yourself wearing it on the Parody Writer's Photo Thread !!!

I'm not kidding!  Please!!  :)

A well-deserved 1-2-3.  It was a pleasure being thwomped by you!  ;)

Johnny, I guess I could do that.  I had a rough day at work, so I'm wound pretty tight and not feeling particularly photogenic at the moment.  Maybe once I've managed to relax I'll see if I can get my hubby to snap one of me.

...and clothes, as well... ;)


Um, MooRocca, feel free to disregard any of Philbo's suggestions. He's clearly insane.

A belated congrats to all especially Mehli .. as the others said it is about time!!

I will try and do an analysis of the content and other key features of SOTM winning to entries to see whether it is worth expressing  anything other than fairly negative sentiments concerning female anatomy!!.........

But Helen, I'm sure you'll find that my winning one from October had no negative sentiments concerning female anatomy whatsoever... it was about as wholly (or do I mean holy?) positive as it is possible to get ;)

Pure as the driven snow, I'm quite sure, sir...

pr

Phil.... the relevant parts of the female anatomy referred to in your winning oeuvre were only seen in a positive light because they had been made by a man.....!

ROFL!  But who suggested the surgeon was a man?  I'm pretty sure I didn't... ;)

exactly Phil.  And all the surgeons mentioned in my silver-medal winning entry on the same topic were clearly women, taking advantage of the staff discount to get their own boobs done ;)

I rest my case......

LOL!!

Why am I left with the feeling it's me who's made the boob?

LOL..... have a look at the L word today to to appreciate the deleterious effect such lyrics could have on the financial welfare of some more susceptible members the fairer sex ( first one) the second shows that guys can also at be at risk .. !!
