I should have caught that earlier. It was submitted on Jan 1, so I've removed it from the voting thread.

Sorry Jason, your entry isn't eligible for the December SOTM. You are more than welcome to enter it in the Jan SOTM or ABC3S contests when they are posted where it will be eligible.

Ok fair enough Red Ant and Agrimorfee. In that case is it alright if I enter it for the Jan SOTM competition? It took me a long time to get the parody right. I can almost hear Fitu Petaia laughing that my parody was deleted from the current competition.

Yes, you can/may enter it in the Jan SOTM thread when it's posted.

This was tough, so many good holiday themes shouldering against well-constructed "everyday" type material.

That Tickle Me Emo is hillarious I showed it to all my friends at college who all love Emo Jokes
Awesome!!! Yeah that skit's been really popular since last month

Hey Red,gona add the lniks I addd under the parody?


They are added now.

Needless to say, Christmas dominated my Top Five, and there were so many great parodies that I couldn't fit into five slots.

1 Point... Agrimorfee's Idol Christmas ("White Christmas")
2 Points... Warren Zevon in da hood! ("Gang Wars of Compton")
3 Points... Phil's 500 ones
4 Points... Twas a Spoilt Brat at Christmas
5 Points... (drumroll please)...

It Ain't Chevy, It's Your Brother

With honorable mentions to everyone else.

Again, good luck to everybody! :)

Is there any way I can split my points further?  I didn't think so. . .I have 4 mentions that I at one point or another interchanged as high as 3rd I had trouble picking my bottom 3 spots between the others I marked, figured I should mention them (I personally wish it was 10 songs instead of 5 when there are 20 or more entries)

5th (1 Point) I Give to "Privates in Motion" by Peter Anderson (Entry 11)
      I really liked this parody a lot, it was one of the most unique entries of the month and I generally felt the pacing was on spot.  It was raunchy without going over that line, very creative

4th (2 Points) I Give to "Twas a Spoilt Brat on Christmas" by Kristof Robertson (Entry 17)
      I got a little bored with Christmas parodies, especially at the time I got to Entry 17, but this one was just too funny not to give points to. . .excellent parody, very well written, and probably would have been even more funny if I hadn't read so many other Christmas parodies.

3rd (3 Points) I Give to "I'm Gonna Vote 500 Ones" by Phil Alexander (Entry 8)
      Partly because I could relate to the song, but also the inaneness of the original. . .this was one of my personal favorites for many reasons.  It was about a topic that I have not seen too many good parodies (Internet Jerks With Nothing Better To Do) and reinforced my own opinions that the ratings don't mean a whole lot, but I gave this one 5s--

2nd (4 Points) I Give to "Fillings" by Cat (Entry 6)
      Thriller was an amazing song, our feline friend turned it into an absolutely brilliant comedy.  I liked Weird Al's "Cavity Search", but I think this one may actually be more creative than even King Weird Al--and of a much tougher song to parody.  Cat, I have not read many by you, but this one is EASILY the best I've EVER read by you.

1st (5 Points) I Give to "It Still Smells Like Poop to Me" by Michael McVey (Entry 10)
      This song and the 2nd Place song were interchangeable and it really came down to one thing for me.  People on this site have a pre-destined "immature if it's toilet humor" facade.  While usually it's not the most creative form of comedy, I felt this one targetted the topic head on.  It was witty, funny, intelligent, and you know we are here to make people laugh are we not?  I love a well written parody, and this one was, but it's not about that as much as wether or not it paces or makes you laugh--I don't know if this song or 2nd place has any chance at winning, but thay made me laugh.  If I personally were to record any of the entries (minus my own of course) these top two are the ones I'd want to record the most because they were the funniest. . .

I also wanted to mention to Red Ant, your song Idaho would have been number 6 with me if the points went that far, and that Stu, you were my 7th---the topics were terrifically executed, and it hurt having to pick songs to leave out that were such great quality parodies.

Additionally, 2nz, your song Side Effects--great job on the short lines making them all work out--you were my 8th pick, and wannabemustangjockey. . . .I absolutely loved Gang Wars of Compton.

To Everyone else, there were no parodies in this contest that I didn't like, no half arsed ones and none that were really all that poorly paced. . .but I can only pick 5, sorry to those I couldn't fit in this month. . .but I will continue to be fair in the future too.

5pts - Spoiled brat named Kris

4pts - Damon's drug problem

3pts - brokeback parodies

2pts - Peter's collection of Madonna films

1pts - Phil's 500 ones

Close race.

Oh wow, I expected mine to do a lot better than this..WOW

Oh wow, I expected mine to do a lot better than this..WOW


You aren't the only one. . .just too many good parodies this month. . .kinda wish I debuted a different month.

2pts - Peter's collection of Madonna films



although I often wish my mother HAD called me Peter, alas she went with Stuart

but thanks, Max :)

Oh wow, I expected mine to do a lot better than this..WOW


I ALWAYS expect mine to do better than the actual results.  :D

I ALWAYS expect mine to do better than the actual results.  :D


Funny, with me it's the opposite...I expect mine to not do so well, and then the results pleasantly surprise me. Anyways...

1 point to It Still Smells Like Poop To Me (The Gas Song) By Michael McVey
I've always had a soft spot for AmIRight satires (I think it's under my armpit somewhere) and this satisfies that itch.

2 points to Privates In Motion by K1chyd
I didn't pick up the supposed double entendree, but the pacing was spot-on.

3 points to (Nice Time For A) White Christmas by Agri
Tight pacing, first original Billy Idol song for me, twisted Xmas jingle...awesome!!

4 points to Play Madonna's Movies by Stu
Ah...a rip of a Jacko song when he was cool...all while making fun of a different celebrity made it quite refreshing.

5 points to Fillings by Cat
Two Jacko rips this month...I had to go for the one about the sadistic dentist ;D Plus I didn't have to hunt for the OS!

I've decided to be more descriptive of my vote choices. Hope you like it!

5 Points Goes To: Kristof Klaus
4 Points Goes To: Idaho Ant
3 Points Goes To: Dr. Cat

Honorable mentions to the rest of you, but especially to Johnny D: "Kringle Sell Rock" was the hardest cut I've made all year.

To be honest, I'm probably going to only stick to the Ages one for awhile, I spend a lot of time planning my recordings. . .so it's hard to focus on SOTM contests and such, especially with the upcoming website. . .BTW I did do that "How To" on recording you suggested in the parody board, but you can probably count one person out next month, I've got two that could be contenders, but then I thought that about Every Call I Make too, clearly I'm more of a performer than a writer. . .anyway that aside, I like the comments and the sharing of each others songs, if I do enter it will be for that to get opinions, haven't thought about it much yet because I'm focused on P3 and trying to space my songs out better, they are performing VERY well right now on Soundclick, and one of them is nearing a top 20 spot, which I've never reached. . .so I'm excited about the future of recording. . .Good luck everyone though. . .I may enter January, may not, one less thing for everyone to read anyway.  . .I've got so much to record though I don't know if I'll have time between work and everything and the AmIRight Ages--we'll see. . .I've got a little over a week to think about it.

Obviously, the final SOTM of the year was going to make for hard voting, but geez it was hard getting down to 5. From a short short shortlist of 9, I had to make some really hard decisions. So apologies to Arwen, Johnny, Agri and Jockey...

My 47 eurocents on the subject: I've almost stopped writing new parodies over the last months, and daily visits to amiright are not currently possible since I'm very busy and it's not slowing down, at least not right now, yet I've managed to get at least one parody in for every SOTM round and I partly "blame" that on the inspiration I'm picking up from reading everyones best effort of the month. It keeps a small portion in the back of my brain in touch with my muse, and I hope I can keep it that way, even busy comes with some hiatuses for writing parodies and I think I would probably write more sloppy (or what to call it) if it wasn't for the fact that I have to keep in mind that if it becomes the only one of the month it will also be the one I'll have to run before the argus eyed critics here. Even when I don't get any points there's still often a comment or two that makes me feel I've gotten my song onto a best of album of some sort just by partaking in the SOTM action.  :)

I just realised that as the only Swede here I'm speaking on behalf of the entire population (9 100 000 was the last figure I heard), hence I will adjust the numbers to reflect that. We give...


45 500 000 Points to "Play Madonna's Movies"

36 400 000 Points to "Side Effects Include"

27 300 000 Points to "I'm Gonna Vote (500 Ones)"

18 200 000 Points to "Idaho"

And despite being totally out of season, eleven months ahead (sic!) of Christmas:

9 100 000 Points to "Twas A Spoilt Brat At Christmas"


I hope this doesn't mess up the totals now...  :P

Thank you for your comments. . .to be honest, Stu already somewhat encouraged me to barrow forward and enter next month. . .I'll just have to wing it.  I know I'm not entering the "Q" ABC contest, with Age of AmIRight I just have to keep my mind focused on that and SOTM and specialty contests I already qualify for.  Now I'm torn between Dead End Jobs and Squinting in the Dark, got a couple weeks on that thought too. . .thanks for your reply and encouragement via personal expierence, I karmaed you for it:)

It's still January in some timezones...  that counts, right?


To a degree - unless you live in Hawaii, posting votes at 6am on the 1st isn't going to cut it. Normally I give until 2-3am for everyone to get their votes in.

So yes, they count, and thanks for your support.

Hope there's still time to vote; I just started a new semester of college and things have been hectic. For the record it's 11:09 pm (PST) on Jan 31 as I type this.

So here goes:

5 pts to Xtof's Xmas
4 pts to Matthias' merriment
3 pts to 2nz's painzes
2 pts to Johnny D's Santa Sale
1 pt to Jack's consumerism

And the unofficial* results for the December SOTM are:

1st place with 53 points: Twas A Spoilt Brat At Christmas by Kristof Robertson

2nd place with 37 points: Play Madonna's Movies by Stuart McArthur

3rd place with 36 points: Fillings by Cat


2nz also had 36 points, and the same number of 1st-place votes, but Cat had more 2nd-place votes (3-2)

One DQ to report: the always lovely Arwen did not vote in time, so she forfeits her points, and I believe is ineligible to participate in Jan '07 SOTM.

*Unofficial because I'm tired as hell and since 2nd-4th place is so very close, I'll check the figures again later today.

WOOOOO! 7th place! Thanks guys!


Conngrats to Kristof,Stu and Cat!

So sorry I didn't make it in, all.  I got SO sick last night...it was all I could do to not pass out, seriously...and I just had to go to bed.

Once again, I realize I wouldn't have these problems if I didn't put it off until the last minute, so I know it's my fault...but I'm still sad.  :\'(

I've rechecked the results and my initial count seems correct. So, official congratulations to Kristof, Stu and Cat (and 2nz).


Congrats to our wieners!

Actually, it was Phil who voted for you - I just posted his picks.

The Wildcard round will be up shortly.

Oh, well played Kristof, Stu and Cat. I started out the tournament in 4th place from Agri's initial vote so it seems almost fitting that I ended it that way. Kudos Cat, I really do like close finishes and I can't remember a closer one for third. And seeing as how I was an hour or two from being DQed, I'm pretty happy with things.

And combined it comes out to 'A spoilt brat watching Madonna's movies while getting fillings at Christmas'. Ouch.

Great work everyone. These tournaments motivation my lazy ass to check out all your quality work, and I'm thankful for that.

WOW!!  :o Thanks so much, everyone!

I was seriously not expecting that, Glen, I thought for sure that you'd edge me out. But you did a really great job anyway, as did Kris and Stu!

Oh, and a special note from Dr. Drillyew:

Congratulations, Kristof & Stuart & Cat !

And thanks to everyone who voted for my ode to Kris Kringle & Krass Kommercialism!  ;D

Thanks everyone - another close finish for the non-Kristof places - and I think (referring to another thread on Parodies now) that Blame It On The Boogie hadn't been parodied before (although maybe it has, under The Jacksons and not Michael Jackson, and I credited it wrongly)

congrats to Kristof's Spaffesque finish to the year, taking all before him (which is phrase I've used about Kristof before, I recall ::))  and to the lovely and talented Cat - and congrats 2nz (tough luck to miss out, mate)

I thought a parody of "The Raven" got a SOTM medal before, but I can't seem to find it.  ???

IIRC, EmiLoca would've at least placed with that one but didn't vote in time and got disqualified.  I could be wrong, though.

Sorry I'm late! Traffic was bad and I lost my car keys and...... ;)

Well, all I can say is; BLOW ME DOWN! I'm absolutely chuffed to bits that you all gave this so much support. Although I was really happy with "Spoilt Brat", I didn't think it had a snowball's chance in hell of doing well, as it was a poem (although the OP has been recorded to music)...so thank you so very much. I truly am honoured!

Congrats to the mighty Mr McArthur, for his consistently funny writing and for being such a cool bloke.

Congrats to the prodigious Miss Cat, who is shaping up to be an absolute powerhouse of parody perfection.

Well done to all who entered; the standard in December was as high as I've ever seen it, and you all deserve medals.

It's been a funny ol' year for me parody-wise, but I've enjoyed it so much, I can't wait to see what 07 produces.

Ciao!!!!

Well done K, Stu & Cat, and congriserations (a conflation of congratulations and commiserations) to 2nz for being pipped at the post.
