HAVE FUN!!!

Submittions Are Due: June 19th

See, this time, I actually have ideas.  Now it's just a matter of completing a song.

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus - I Saw Teacher Kiss the Principal
Sh-Boom - Home Room
Rock Around the Clock - Cram Around the Clock

and the one I'm probably going to write

Sixteen Tons - Sixteen Creds

I expect Cat will give us something stupendous in this round (if mine isn't stupendous ;D)

Shake Rattle and Roll- Mistake that You Enrolled

Maybe "Test Is Filled with X's" to "Yellow Rose of Texas"? ;)

I've got a killer idea (mainly cuz I'm also in school :P). It's a parody of 'Rock Around The Clock'. And it's called...'Eye Upon The Clock'! Figure out THAT one!

When I went back to my ideas, I scrapped Sixteen Creds (might go back to it later) because the idea of I Saw Teacher Kiss the Principal struck me funnier.

Hope Wolverine doesn't mind that I did "Home Room" :) :

Nope, I don't mind.  If I minded, I'd keep my ideas to myself.  At least I got to choose which of my ideas to run with before you posted your song (would have been embarrassing if I went with Home Room as well)  :)

"Mr. Sanders Gave Me A 'D'"

I just submitted "Test Is Full Of X's." And I must say, that was one of the most fun parodies I've ever written! ;D

Oh, and here's the version of "Yellow Rose Of Texas" that I used for my pacing: click

I'm giving you guys till Midnight Wednesday, because I'm going to be working really late on Tuesday

And here it is!!!

Test Is Full Of X's

http://www.amiright.com/parody/misc/deanmartin35.shtml

Unfortunately the whole thing posted as a link, which kinda sucks because it's one of my best parodies to date. . .I spent a lot of time correcting it, checking it and making it just perfect to end strong. . .and then I left an </a> tag out of the intro that made the whole thing link to Soundclick. . .so I will provide an alternative set of lyrics here on the board too so that those who have trouble reading it can still read it. . .as it is the parody, not the link, that should be considered  ::)

Anyhow, here's the video I used to parody That's Amore, one of the toughest early 50's songs to do, and there are so many versions of it, pacing is a nightmare if you don't have the right one, I haven't performed it yet though--long list ahead of it still. . .here's the OS I used
