Is it me?

Heh, heh, heh... Who else could it be? Queen of Klutz  ;)

The song I want to do is "ABC" by the Jackson 5... Getting a good idea is the problem...

Embarassment solely for the narrator of the song, or for other characters involved? ???

I was thinking just the narrator, but I suppose it's open to opinion

I enter Smelt You On the Bus Line (Badave.com Edit) as a pace holder, but I do intend to change that.

Um, this may sound like a stupid question, but...what's Motown?

Ah, the youth of today ;)  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motown#Notable_Motown_singles

...I see "Please Mr Postman" is down as a Motown hit - does this mean I could enter this one (even though The Carpenters aren't Motown artists)?

"Motown" is based mainly on the songwriting team of Lamont/Dozier/Holland as well as songs written by Smokey Robinson, and any of the artists who recorded for the label in the 60s and 70s (it goes into the 80s as well, but definitely not in the same spirit). Phil could enter "Please Mr. Postman" on that basis.

This should prepare everyone for the same category in a later Artistry round.

How about a parody about Audrey II to a Four Tops song since his voice was Levi Stubbs in the movie?

Watch out, the Topic is Embarrassment.

Yeah, We're out of movies now Jacko.

Maybe the movie is that much of an embarrassment?

The people being eaten would be embarrassed they were eaten by a PLANT right?

Seriously Jack... I don't think that's Embarrassment
That would probably fit under Si-Fi, or Tales From The Unknown

The only person who could really be embarrassed by the original movie would be Jack Nicholson.  ;D

  LOL yeah,Ive seen that movie, that and the musical

I'm thinking "Ninja Fight, Not So Much" to "Sugarpie Honeybunch"

I shall be creating a parody of 'Heard It On The Grapevine'. It shall be based upon the embarrassment a footie player might recieve if he breaks his leg NOT during a spectacular tackle, but only after messing about betwen halfs. The title? 'Broke It During Half-Time'!

Looks like we may be doubling up on OS... I had that tune running through my head in the shower this morning. :)

According to Wikipedia "98 Degrees" is Motown... I thought that they were "Teen Pop", but apparently they're both.
Intresting...

See, that was what I meant about "the 80s ...definitely not the same spirit". Same for the 90s. 8-P Really, stick to anything before Diana Ross' "Upside Down".

Although when people think of Motown, they think of the 60s heyday with The Supremes, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye etc....technically anything released on the Motown label is eligible....songs can cross a number of genres

Here's mine for better or for worse.....

I'm having a hard time with this one...

The best I got going for right now is a "My Girl" by The Temps with a 180-degree twist.  :-[

If anyone has some spare ideas, let me hear 'em.

I've been grounded...took my stuff away
I can't go outside...my room is where I stay
Well, I guess...you'd say
"Why'd your parents act that way?"
My porn "your porn?" (His porn!)
Parents found my porn...(my porn)


How's that?

You are a strange strange man.

And that is why you love me! 8-P

I can't believe nobody has done anything for the popular musical, "The Wiz"
I think I'm going to do "Your Myspace" to "Brand New Day"
About finding naked pictures and other embarrassing things on your stalker's Myspace

Way to take a joyous tune and muck it up :P...I love it!  ;D
(Watch out, you need to use the movie version to associate it with Motown...the stage musical had nothing to do with it...)

I can't believe I forgot to post this the other day!

I Broke It During Half-Time

Sigh... :-\\

I guess I'm going to have to go with this:

http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/theisleybrothers0.shtml

I had been working on another one...which I think, if I finish it, will be much better...funnier AND more embarrassing...but I've hit a wall with it, and really don't think I'll finish by the deadline.  Oh well...

It's back... NOW WITH COMMENTS!!!  ;)

Your Myspace
http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/thewiz1.shtml

Two more days left to submit!!!

But at least we're doing better with Motown than we did with Teen Pop...

I can only find live versions which vary slightly from the original, so hopefully you guys are all familiar with Stop! In the Name of Love by the Supremes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JplvR5MX6s

Theres a good video for Stop! in the Name of Love that doesn't have the added live performance lines

Phil are we using you Youtube one or what? I gotta know.... Before I do finalization.
