I think this is the first time I've been online when I could be the first to sign up, and since I know what song to go with this time (a slightly better known OS than the last ones) I might as well...

a) Yes, the title is supposed to be spelled like that, go figure...
b) Dave, if the YouTube don't work for you Americans, feel free to link to another one, I'm sure there's plenty...

EDIT: c) Darn, Max beat me to being first while I typed...  :P

I'm torn between the two parodies I submitted. I will post both parodies here, and maybe somebody can suggest which one I should enter.

Both are from my rock opera/album parody-in-the-making, Rage of Daisies (parody of Queensryche's "Rage For Order").

Rage of Daisies 01: Watch 'Pushing Daisies'
http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/queensryche4.shtml
(Parody of "Walk in the Shadows" by Queensryche)
Because it is the first song on the album, and my parody sets the tone of the rock opera/album.
DKTOS?

Rage of Daisies 02: I Dream of Chuck and Ned
http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/queensryche5.shtml
(Parody of "I Dream in Infrared" by Queensryche)
For the parody's obscurity, and SOTM would give it more exposure.
DKTOS?

Since there can only be one song per monthm, which would you prefer I enter? Thanks for your input. :)

Between these 2, I would put in #2--it was the better one on its own merits.

Well I worked almost all month on "HOLIDASIA", so my entry has to be one of those tracks ("Fly My Kite" isn't getting the full consensus that I would have hoped--and I don't want to compete with Matthias on that front), so...

http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/thewho123.shtml got the most responses in this opus, and I hope it will bode well in this month's standings.

Though I was tempted to go with "NHL Is Much More Than Fights", I think http://www.amiright.com/parody/90s/bloodhoundgang10.shtml The Bad Dates is likely to appeal to a broad audience. . .thus it is my entry.
