Subject: August 2008 SOTM Voting Thread RESULTS POSTED

Written By: Below Average Dave on 09/07/08 at 11:04 pm

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. and so on
If the points total and votes are identical, it will be left as a legitimate tie

~~Any entrant whose votes don't show a time stamp 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.

~~A medal shall be awarded to the highest ranking parody which did not make the month's podium and is of an original song which has not previously earned any medal

2 Points: Peter's Transvestite, Playboy Bunny-looking Clone with a Grandma's Fanny


Not just any Grandma's fanny I might add, since I inherited her genes (the old fashioned way) my clones have twentyfive percent of my Grandma's fanny, the way it was when it got my Grandpa all fired up back in the day, and since I inherited his genes (again, the old fashioned way), it's twentyfive percent his genes that makes me all fired up on that aspect of my clones. Now as long as anyone doesn't clone the old mailman who used to do this part of town I'm still pretty sure that the fifty percent of my mother that are in my clones will prefer the fifty percent of my father that are in me, and viceversa. As for the Playboy Bunny comparison it might have been a bit of an exaggeration and/or wishful thinking, but it made a better rhyme than "Shrek with a hangover on a bad hair day".  8)

5 points = Guy DiRito for making syllable-for-syllable rhymes and pacing look EASY.  >:(  We all thank you.
4 points = Phil Alexander, who is probably going to hell.
3 points = Peter Andersson who suggested that DNA from his own person would create a Playboy bunny.  HILARIOUS!
2 points = Jeff Reuben, for taking on the overdone and turning it into something even more annoying.  ;)
1 point  = The Conquerer of Parodies, almost solely for the title itself.  Genius, laddie, genius!

As stated by several commentators Phil has pretty much drained the subject now, or so one would tend to think, still there was no way around it for me to say that his remake of that old showtune was the best parody of the month, but I guess the choice of OS, albeit not even to my liking ordinarily, was the perfect match up of old song, old subject and new take.

OK, that gave away the five, here's the rest of my list:

1 Point: "I Would Live Anywhere On Earth"

2 Points: "Loch Star"

3 Points: "Be a pest"

4 Points: "Barack, You're Not Old"

5 Points: "Brush Up Your Scripture"

HM - For an original and complicated idea well performed and syllable matched, but not that funny IMHO: "Rhapsody"

5pts - Peter's relationship with a clone

4pts - Jeff's pest problems

3pts - Guy downloading music while flipping off the RIAA

2pts - Phil walking in the lake of fire

1pts - Matthias the homeless bum

HM: Cop and Ness, Ag's worm, Bad T.M.I., and Emi's age issues

5 points - #7. Loch Star by The Conqueror of Parodies
4 points - #10. I'll Make a Clone I Can Smooch by Peter Andersson
3 points - #4. Be a Pest by Jeff Reuben
2 points - #5. T.M.I. by Below Average Dave
1 point  - #6. Barack , You're Not Old by EmiLoca

HM To Matthias - have to admit that when I read it through to start with, I didn't think I'd not be giving this one a vote.. but I didn't want to leave out any of the others, either.  I'd prefer to be able to give those six an equal first - they're so very different, I really didn't like having to choose any above the other.  Ah, well...

Congrats to Jeff, CoP and whomever clone of mine that wrote my entry while is was "entertaining" the other one.

4th: Below Average Dave with 18 Points <<No FUCA (TOS has podiumed)

Maybe O.P.P by Naughty by Nature has podiumed in one or some of all the comps running, but I don't think it has in the SOTM, are you sure?

It appears you are right Peter, so it appears I have yet another FUCA to my record, I thought Agri was on the podium with this, my memory failed me. . .

I really need to keep your list handy don't I :)
