"Titanic" is spelled wrong, and Fergie strikes again.  ;)

A rather unique finish. . .a very strong Performance of the Quarter and here are the results!  Interestingly enough, all voters voted on the same day:)


******************************
1st Below Average Dave with 27 Points!
        I Was Drunk Late One Night Now I'm Daddy

2nd Red Ant & Peter Andersson with 24 Points!
      Reindeer Horn Buyers Get Elk Poop For Free

3rd Below Average Dave with 23 Points!
      I Am Very Envious of Stuff That's Rather Worthless
******************************

4th Phil Alexander with 18 Points!
      (Used to be a) Rock Star

5th Matthias with 13 Points!
      Titanic

6th Mikey Squirrel with 12 Points!
      Emperor Palpatine

7th Mikey Squirrel with 8 Points!
      Nintendo 64


Wheew That was the most letters I've ever typed on a podium, seriously long song names (I can't complain-I'm responsible for two of them) It should be noted Mikey Squirrel forfeited his ten default points on both his songs by not voting, but is not disqualified from POTQ3. . .keep up the recording everyone, great month

Special thanks to Jeff Reuben for voting when not required

Congratulations to Red Ant and Peter Andersson on your 2nd place finish and thank you everyone for the collective votes that put my Daddy on top and my Envy in Third (I do think that even though multiple entries have happened in the past in POTM, that this is the first time two songs by one person ended up on the podium)

:) Well done Dave , Jack & Peter and Dave (again)

I was a bit late in posting my votes/comments, but fortunately the site is on EST not BST...

Is this the first time we've had the same person on the podium twice?
