Welcome, and good luck. Please read all guidelines carefully. Especially, please make sure to read all the entries and vote by midnight, February 22nd. The SOTM is not so much a contest as a feedback exchange. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, either in this thread or via personal message. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

~~Vote by replying to this thread with your five favorites in order:
1st choice- 5 points
2nd place- 4 points
3rd place- 3 points
4th place- 2 points
5th place- 1 point.

~~You're not allowed to vote for your own song.

~~Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it.

~~Voting continues until the deadline date ends.

~~Anyone who's participated in a SOTM contest may vote.

~~By entering, you are agreeing to read all the other entries and vote. Comments are optional, but appreciated.

~~Anyone who enters but does not vote by the end of the month is disqualified and may not participate next month.

~~In the event of a tie, the parody with the most first place votes wins.
If it's still tied, the parody with the most second place votes wins.
If it's still tied, a brief playoff round will be held.
All participants will have the first week of the month to choose one favorite from among the tied entries.
Tiebreaker voting is strongly encouraged but not required. On the eighth day the one with the most votes wins.

5: The Fat Life by The Charnstar

6: Bummer (The Worst Time) by Tomario

summer the first time os

You didn't say who wrote the last song... We know it's Tomario, but you didn't put him on the front page

Hey, wait...due to the shortage of entries, do you think they should only pick a top 4?

Or perhaps you could reopen it for a few more days? It does seem like an awfully small amount... :-\\ (But then again, a lot of people won SOTM medals this year that didn't in prior years!)

If there had been less than 6 entrants, perhaps I'd have gone with a top 3 voting. As it is, the top 5 will stay.

The entry thread was open for a week, so everyone who was eligible had ample time to get in an entry. The field is half the size of the 2005 Wildcard round, but like you said, that's due to more people getting medals this year.

I haven't voted yet, and having read only two of the entrants. . .I pace it out that way because of my schedule. . .but your song is pretty awesome, I mean Revenge to the 9th. . .so I'm not surprised how your points are going, you truley conquered that song. . .you deserve the points.

1 Point to Tomario's nasty Bummer of a Summer
--Quite possibly the best parody he's written in the time I've been here at least, unfortunately this comp was extremely difficult, and thus so was the rankings. . .

2 Points to Charnstar's The Fat Life
--Much like Tomario's, just such a hard competition--only 6 entries, 5 of which I had to vote on, and those 5 were all great.  This one I think was very funny and one of the better Charnstar parodies. . .This one and the two above it were all moved around in my head until I finally had to pick a 2nd, 3rd, 4th. . .good job Charnstar. . .

3 Points to Michael McVey and his brush with Asparagus
Wow, in most competitions I've seen this would have been seriously considered for winning, but then again I guess that's what this round is about--the best of parodists close calls. . .I hate asparagus, which just made this song all that much more fun.  Mike, this one is better than most of the actual SOTM songs I've read for January, I can't believe this is only a WildCard song. . .

4 Points to No Good Bastards Inc. by the_conqueror_of_parodies
Conq, I have been intrigued by your parodies in the past, but honestly you out-did yourself here. . .I have liked your style in most of the songs, but now you are among the ones I have the most respect for.  This song showcases the amazing talent you posses, and it was the best Revenge song ever, number 1 if not for. . .

5 Points to I Have No Career  by Matthias
The jobs listed in here are just too hilarious to put lower than 1st, and the song parodied?  Oh my god, this song was just amazing to me, I was exceedingly impressed. . .and the OS, as much as I hate it, I couldn't take anything away from this parody.

Sorry, sorry, sorry
I'm cramming these votes in at the last minute, I'm usually better than this

5 Points To: Conquerer's Mood
4 Points To: Mike's Food
3 Points To: Dave's Food
2 Points To: Charnster's Food
1 Point To: Tomario's Mood

Well, for what it's worth--the 6 parodies entered are among the best of the year. . .so I think it's no less of an accomplishment, I'm excited that in my first year, and only second SOTM of any kind. . .I'll be part of SOTY. . .so I'll take my third with happiness, although the other three entrants were all great. . .that was such a tough comp, I don't care if it was just 6 entrants. . .

Big congrats, conq! And you SHOULD care about winning the Wildcard: back in '04, it was the first comp I ever won. AND, your parody now gets entered into Song Of The Year, which in itself is a great honour. Well done, young Aussie!
