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. 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 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.

~~Any entrant whose votes don't show a timestamp prior to midnight on the last day of the month (ie. according to the "inthe00's meantime" clock as it appears BEFORE you log in - not a timezone corrected version) is disqualified, without exception.

This is the most entries in awhile, tough voting month. . .good luck everyone (figured Matthias is still dancing from seeing me pull Moody Blues in my contest---who I still don't really know well). . .so I took liberties and posted it for him.

Interesting Info on this month

6 entries this month were actually Artistry or Decathlon 2 entries as well

4 entries this month are on Chucky's Big 7 list

I think that's really cool because it means we are at least partially influencing each other's selection. . .

Though I do have my own Epic 20 I will post as my personal goals for the new year, this month will be VERY HARD to decide, lots of awesome song choices on the parody end this month, a new comer, a slu of Contest Regulars & most of the veterans are all here. . .should be interesting

I'm in agreement there  ;)  Not to mention, some of the parodies that are entered into those contests really are killer parodies.

Hi Matthias

sorry to be a PAIN!!! :( but could you please replace the youtube link you gave me, with this youtube link...

The one you gave me is a live performance, where they only do half the song

Thanks mate :) :)

In a very tough month, wanted to HM to  Phil Alexander, Stu McArthur, Jason, TCOP, & Guy DiRito

Wow, 1 point and a HM! More than I was expecting with my entry! ANyways...

1 point to Jason the Mechanic
2 points to BAD Doctor
3 points to Kristof the Sexiest
4 points to Night Of The Spiteful Stu
5 points to PC Phil

In one way this month was as hard as ever, and in another way not, because to me there was a clear numero uno and eight songs in a headache creating tight race for second place. Finally I threw all logical and intellectual reasoning attempts out the window (Note to self: bad idea, glaziers are expensive) and read them all again for re-smile factors and then it ended up like this:

5 Points: "Sexist"

4 Points: "Playin' Some Space Invaders"

3 Points: "The Techies Of PC World"

2 Points: "Hey There Maria"

1 Point: "Under-Dressed"

Special Kudos to Matthias for taking feedback to a whole new level, Agrimorfee and Stu for tackling really hard songs, Jeff Ruben for taking on a song I love to hate (has there ever been a worse commercial sell out from a band labelled as metal?) and BAD for the recording (though my jury is still out on whether or not autoplaying it on the amiright page is really a good idea!)
