Subject: January SOTM Voting Thread
Written By: Claude_Prez on 02/08/07 at 5:37 pm
Note to new participants: Welcome, and good luck. Please read all guidelines carefully. Especially, please make sure to read all the entries and vote by the end of the month. Think of the SOTM as 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 last day of the month ends.
~~Anyone who's participated in a SOTM contest may vote.
~~By entering, you are agreeing to read and comment on all the other entries and vote.
~~Anyone who enters but does not both comment on all entries and 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.

Might as well get my voting done early, since I don't have to stress out later
5 Points To: Phil Alexander with "Snoggin' Dobby"
- I'm an enormous Harry Potter fan and the amount of cleverly worked in puns was pure magic
4 Points To: Red Ant with "I Don't Really Care"
- Even if you don't care about humor, or parodies at all you need to respect a man who can do a list song, they are the hardest kind of parody out there
3 Points To: Below Average Dave with "Dead End Jobs"
- For a Newbie Parodist he's quite excellent, within this one month he already blew us all out of the ballpark by entering competitions, and being the first parodist on Amiright to actually record all of his songs, this man deserves the award of 3rd on my list
2 Points To: Micheal E. Cormier with "Who Raised The Flop"
- Yet another Newbie to Amiright, and he has blown us away with a parody that a few experts are even afraid to take on (Me being one of them). "Who Put The Bomp" is a difficult parody to pull off, due to the sheer randomness of the OS. It is quite like the song "Witch Doctor", with random words that the parodist have to incorporate and make sense out of
1 Point To: Stuart McArthur with "No Regret-o (... Priscilla's Honey)"
- "Ghetto" seemed to be one of the hardest words to parody until Stuart gave us the list within his silly song

Thank you very much Matthias, you are making me feel very welcome and I needed a lift, I was having a terrible day and that really lifted my spirits. . .Thank you and I won't forget these kind words ever

Initially a lot of DKTOS for me this month, but I've managed to track them all down so here we go again. IMHO the top two stood out, but then it was close as fraggling heck between place three and eleven, basically I've just parted them on gut feeling or something like that.
5 Points to "No Regret-o (....Priscilla honey)"
4 Points to "I Don't Really Care"
3 Points to " 6K"
2 Points to "Insects Are Fried"

5th, 1 Point goes to Max Power with his disgusting and hilarious Shoot Those Pigeons
Easily the best Max Power parody I've read to date. . .
4th, 2 Points go to Mike Cormier's Who Raised the Flag
I read it towards the beginning of the month, but from the get-go this one was in
3rd, 3 Points go to Matthias and his horrible desire to eat Insects (that) are Fried
I was really grossed out by this one, and drop out laughing at the same time
2nd, 4 Points go to Stu McArthur with absolutely No Regrets
You know I'm running out of positive things to say, I just don't seem to read anything by Stu I Don't Like
1st, 5 Points go to Yoidy and his addiction to not so great Medication
Judging from the comments, I'm not the only one who thinks Yoidy deserves high honors in this contest.
Horoable Mentions
Of course I always enjoy a good parody, but Red Ant as always impressed me. . .and I have to give Charnstar a mention because his entry was brave. . .nearly got a point from me just because it was brave. Also, though I didn't find it terribly funny, Johnny D's info about Mr. Obama got me interested in politics again in that I had never really paid him much attention before that parody, oh and Jack Wislon's last minute entry, was nearly on my list too.

1 point goes to Jack for his TV ways
2 points go to Dave for his Jobful ways
3 points go to Yoidy for his hate for his medicational ways

RED ANT FOR HIS LACK OF CARING!
