Uh-oh...I've had my head under a rock this year, so I don't know what's been going on...the only two big events this year (for me, anyway) were Steve Irwin getting stabbed (but that's innapropriate) and Straight Outta Lynwood. So...any hints?

I do believe that I shall shotgun item number 1 (as I ctually know about it) to the tune of 'Buttons' by the Pussycat Dolls feat. Snoop Dogg.
I had to check a list of girl groups (God bless Wikipedia) to find a suitable song...that I actually know.

Watch out! I have very slightly changed my mind!
Instead of "Buttons" into "Planet?", I shall do "Push The Button" (by the Sugababes) into "That's No Planet!" How about that?

That's nice to hear. I have now officially decided to parody "Lose My Breath" by Destiny's Child into "Too Much Death", detailing the deaths of three wolrd famous people in one week this year: Steve Irwin, Colin Thiele and Peter Brocke.
So, if I change my mind again, please shoot me.

Hey,
My home internet went out this weekend and Verizon just got things back up tonight. Unfortunately, lame as it is, I was not able to write a song for this round because of that. I have a few girl band songs on the site, but I don't think I can pass covering my feet, drinking beer from unopened cases, tailgating or putt-putt as "news of 2006", so I'll have to sit out this round--it's my own fault for waiting, and there wasn't an emergency or anything. I will still vote. Good luck to everyone!
