I'd rather come up with something new, but if beer, women, bar fights are bad habits, I can always bring back the Fighting Barmaids :)

I didn't see them on the list, but would Electric Light Orchestra (E.L.O.) count in this round? I'm sure they would (they're from Birmingham, England) but I just wanna double check. Thanks!

SHARE is officialy NOT HAPPENING - too little to work with. I could go with 'No Good Bastards Inc.' if time runs out, but I'm hopin' to have a new one out.

Since the topic does not say who's bad habits we're talking about, I'll have a go at 'Eleanor Rigby' into something about people who talk WAY too loudly on ther mobiles. Why 'Eleanor Rigby'? Because I wanna do more Beatles stuff, and I recently heard this wikkid mashup of it with Brain Stew by Green Day.

Better not forget... here's mine: The Bad Habits of Yours Truly

I really want to parody "Cool For Cats", by Squeeze ever since I saw Spaff parody it, because it looks challanging and fun.

D'OH!!! http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/11/BangHead.gif

Whoah...5 Beatles parodies! Two of which are the same song. And as a bonus, we also have a Paul Mcartney parody. What fun!

Alright...I guess the time has come to make my decision...I actually wrote four different parodies for the assignment...and wasn't sure which one I'd submit.  BUT...I guess grown ups have to make up their minds at some point...so, considering that we're already seemingly overrun by Beatles parodies... ;)


Whoah...5 Beatles parodies!

...I'll go with The Animals.

I Hold Scissors When I Run (And Other Bad Habits)

STUFF!

Funnily enough, I could remember most of that one :)

With two oldie "Help!" parodies, it made me almost nostalgic for this one, which is even older (and could be thought of as a bad habit)...

No, I'm not changing my entry, I just couldn't resist a plug

"Get Stressed"

Coming Tomorrow...

Finally submitted my entry, it should be up tomorrow.
It's my tribute to annoying cell phone users (sorry Conqueror, I know you had the same topic, but let's face it, it's REALLY a bad habit!)
