!YOU AND ME BETTY AIN'T NOTHING BUT RUBBLES - STUART MCARTHUR!

Took My Pawn almost got in, along with Bovine Love and Ode To Beer, but sorry :-( So many good songs this month

5 Points: "Were You Doing Some Floozy Neighbor" by Rick C.

4 Points: "Bovine Love" by Jeff Reuben.

3 Points: "Daddy Drives Just Like an Old Man" by Michael McVey.

2 Points: "The Times When I Just Didn't Think" by Kristof Robertson.

1 Point: "My 'Needs' Are Really Dire" by The conqueror of parodies.

Honorable mentions to everyone for having the balls to enter such a fierce fragfest as this round and especially to Stu who lost out on the finale points only because of my interest in medicine and personal relation to general inability to think clearly. Also I thought it was really gutsy of Michael McVey to enter with a ten minutes long song about driving/cars after wannabemustangjockey pretty much overkilled the entire genre this year, under different circumstances I might have come down harder on pacing and the none-varied choruses but it tickled my funny bone through the whole read/listen and made the list.

1 Point : Walkin' The Plank Tonight - Jack Wilson
2 Points : My "Needs" Are Really Dire - COP
3 Points : Were You Doing Some Floozy Neighbour - Rick Cormier
4 Points: The Times When I Just Didn't Think - Kristof Robertson

5 points - #7: Bovine Love by Jeff Reuben
4 points - #9: Took My Pawn by Tim Mayfield
3 points - #13: Daddy Drives Just Like an Old Man by Michael McVey
2 points - #1: Nerdy Needs by The Charnstar

Honorable mention to Rick C's Neighbour.  Sorry, Rick.

Such a wide range of comic genius this month. Love the variety!

My tallies show:

5 points - "Bovine Love" by Jeff Reuben
4 points - "Scion xB" by wannabemustangjockey
3 points - "My 'Needs' Are Really Dire" by the_conqueror_of_parodies
2 points - "Were You Doing Some Floozy Neighbor" by Rick Cormier
1 point  - "Walkin the Plank Tonight" by Jack Wilson

Before I leave my choices, I wanted to say that this has been another tough and great SOTM round. Many entries were what I consider in that author's top 5 parodies ever, which made whittling down the not-so-short list more painful than it usually is. I accidentally over cut the list down to 4, and deciding which parody should get that last point was too tough, so I wound up raffling that spot. (Yeah yeah yeah Red Ant, just tell us the votes already...)

So, here they are:

5 points to #5: You And Me Betty Aint Nothing But Rubbles... by Stuart McArthur
4 points to #4: Were You Doing Some Floozy Neighbor by Rick Cormier
3 points to #1: Nerdy Needs by The Charnstar
2 points to #7: Bovine Love by Jeff Reuben
1 point to #10: My Little Whizzer by Agrimorfee

Big time honorable mentions to everyone else.

it was toss-up for the 5-vote between Jack and Kristof, but I gave it to Jack because of the difficulty of the OS (which I absolutely love), and the fact I've never been able to get an angle on it - but Kristof's was typically brilliant, and a laugh a line as usual

5 points...............12: Love Yer Cranium's Own Slick Views by Red Ant
4 points...............17: The Times When I Just Didn't Think by Kristof Robertson
3 points...............7: Bovine Love by Jeff Reuben
2 points...............4: Were You Doing Some Floozy Neighbor by Rick Cormier
1 points...............1: Nerdy Needs by The Charnstar

Like everyone else seems to be saying ... this was a tough month to judge. But I'm over it.

5 pts to Kristof Robertson
4 pts to Rick Cormier
3 pts to Tim Mayfield
2 pts to Stu McArthur
1 pt to Michael McVey

1 point to Charnstar
2 points to Stu
3 points to K1chyd
4 points to wannabemustangjockey
5 points to Kristof

Whew! That was a bit too close to the deadline than I would've liked. I guess I was too busy with a new parody that was for the next SOTM (spoiler: it was ridiculously hard, Spaff's recorded his version of it, and I was inspired by WBMJ...)

5 pts:  Rick Cormier
4 pts:  Stu McArthur
3 pts:  Kristof Robertson
2 pts:  Charnstar
1 pt:  Tim Mayfield

With hours to spare.....

5 points: Stu and his Barney Stone
4 points: conqueror and his ode to afflictions
3 points: Rick C and his neighbourhood watch
2 points: Agri's little whizzer
1 point: Michael Mc's sermon on slowness

Absolutely DIAMOND month!

For the ninth month in a row now we have a different first-place winner.  Here are the results for the September SOTM:

1st place with 49 points: You And Me Betty Aint Nothing But Rubbles... by Stuart McArthur

2nd place with 40 points: The Times When I Just Didn't Think by Kristof Robertson

3rd place with 38 points: Were You Doing Some Floozy Neighbor by Rick Cormier

Congratulations to Stu, Kristof, and Rick. One DQ to report: BLO-TOWN didn't vote/comment in time, so he forfeits his zero points, and is ineligible to participate in the October SOTM.

The PAotY thread has been updated for the last time this year (until the winner is announced). Pending a reponse from Claude about the standings, the thread may be re-opened shortly for discussion.

HOLY CARP! I came 6th! That's like... 3rd out of the losers (no offence). This is the greatest day of my life (I also got out of doing a class next year with my ex) Maybe soon it'll start raining nachoes and cheese and I'll be singing in the rain! MY GOD I LOVE TODAY! Thankyou all who voted for me :-) I love you more than you love me! And my 3 favourites for this month won, in the order I put them in, I LOVE IT! CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE! The only thing I'm sad about is that I didn't get any candy :-( drat

Congratulations! Even though you beat me, I don't hate you (yet) because I came 8th! I think that's the highest I've ver gotten in a SOTM! Plus I beat last month's winner! w00t!

Wow! Thanks all for supporting me into silver! This is (I believe) the second time I've been Stuey's bridesmaid (I think I look good in fuschia...) and what a great parody to come runner-up to! Absolutely bonzer, mate!
Big congrats also to the consistently wonderful Mr Cormier, with his bawdy singalong. In fact, I had the only medalling parody that didn't require a PG certificate! Great work, guys.
And well done to all who entered. 9 different winners in 9 months: blimey! Who's next??  :D

Congratulations to Stuart and Kristof! I was among those who voted them 1 and 2 this month. As has already been said, it was a stellar month. Thank you to Peter and Jeff for the 5 points. Thank you to everyone else who voted and considered my parody. I'll be sitting out the next round, since my entry in this round was the last parody I've even thought about writing.

Keep up the good work y'all!

Congratulations! Even though you beat me, I don't hate you (yet) because I came 8th! I think that's the highest I've ver gotten in a SOTM! Plus I beat last month's winner! w00t!


:P :P :P

The SOTM prize elation is so fleeting...I feel like the Chicago White Sox right now. :D

Congrats to our top 3 champs!

with the possible exceptions of The Charnstar and the conqueror (funny posts guys) I reckon it's me who's having the best day around here.  It's so bloody hard to win SOTM these days with the overall high quality of entries, that I'd virtually resigned myself to not winning this year - so the fact that all the planets managed to align for me this month is fantastic.

thanks everyone for your votes, and gee I had a few nervous moments watching Kristof's typically gag-laden ditty narrow the gap to just a few points at one stage.  Congrats to him, and to Rick too - if you haven't had a listen to Rick's recording of Floozy Neighbour, well you don't know what you're missing out on - professional stuff

**podium self-indulgent anecdote time**
Thankyou also to those people who noticed my entry's inexcuseable "cleaner/cleaner" couplet and didn't ping me for it.  It was a mistake that I only just noticed last week.  Instead of finishing with "...it's me whose wiener's cleaner" it should have read "...it's me with th'cleaner wiener" The problem was caused by me jumping drafts midstream, and not properly checking that the new draft had all the previous draft's updates.

so...we need 2 new winners for the next 2 months - (brrrring brrrring) hi, get me spaff or claude please.....


 

Congrats to the medalists and everyone else for lighting up the dark northern evenings here! (I wish I could spend more time at Amiright than I currently can).

As for nine winners in nine months I think it's actually ten in ten since if we're to include last year, a quick flashback reveals that Spaff won the december round last year. We have to go back to November to find Kristof, who's also won one round since. What would be even cooler than different winners for all different months this year would be me rising from no medals at all this year to winning all twelve rounds next year, keep that in mind for 2007 everyone! ;)

(I wish I could spend more time at Amiright than I currently can).



As do I. We're now rennovating the hotel, so I'm expecting to work 60+ hours a week for the next 4 months.



As for nine winners in nine months I think it's actually ten in ten since if we're to include last year, a quick flashback reveals that Spaff won the december round last year. //

Yep, Spaff won the Dec SOTM, so that makes ten, but the Wild Card round (13th month?  :D) was won by Phil.

And, in a non-official capacity, again congrats to Stu, Kristof and Rick. Truly great parodies, and, as an aside to Kristof, if it hadn't been so long since I've seen most of those movies it would have made my top 5 as well. Maybe I'll have time to see them all on 99 cent rental night before the SOTY thread is posted.  :)

If I ever get around to finishing my latest project, there's always me!  :P

That was great!


Ah yes Spaff and C4Prez Disepnser, SOTM isnt the same without those two
