Subject: December 2008 SOTM RESULTS POSTED
Written By: Below Average Dave on 01/09/09 at 2:33 am
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 known as the FUCA 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

Wow... I only have five left to check out, and then my choices won't be as easy as deciding the 2009 The Dark Knight Oscars. I have found some good parodies already, but sometimes my favorite parody in the contest usually gets creamed by another favorite. Again, good luck to everybody! :)

Just finished the last of the parodies I had left to read/rate/comment... and this is gonna take a big thinking cap and a lot of time to think this over, as is always the case. As Meat Loaf famously sang, "Let me sleep on it; I'll give you an answer in the mornin'."
Again, good luck to everybody! :)

It was way too tough, because there were so many great ones this month. But these are very satisfying results to me:
1 point to a suggestive, if nonexistant website ("FILF" by Peter Andersson)
2 points to Stevie Wonder's wardrobe ("Dressing in the Dark" by Jeff)
3 points to a Pink-knuckled fraidycat ("I Am Afraid of Heights" by Matthias)
4 points to Michael Jackson ("Perverted" by Luke)
5 points to....

"Dainty Thugs" by McKludge
Subject: Re: December 2008 SOTM Voting Thread
Written By: K1chyd on 01/29/09 at 10:20 am
If this had been february I would have been one day late, but luckily for me it isn't, so I'm still two days early, and here are my votes:
1 Point: "Dressing In The Dark"
2 Points: "Dainty Thugs"
3 Points: "Swipe My Card"
4 Points: "Perverted"
5 Points: "Stuck With These Presents From You (12 Days Worth)"
Sadly enough I have to sit next round out, so far I don't have a song in English to account for in January, and seeing there are no Saturday updates of the main Amiright page anymore I only have like two or three hours before sleep tonight to come up with one if it's to be on the Friday update tomorrow, and unless my muse totally raves me right after I've posted this there's no chance such a haste job would be any good anyway, so I don't intend to try. I'll probably come around to vote in next round anyway though.

No puns from me this time - Adelaide's going through a heatwave, one of the worst yet. It's hard to sit comfortably, let alone think up clever puns for an Internet song parody contest...

Great Month
The hardest cut here was "The Conqueror of Parodies". . .very funny, very well written, as were my top 5, I'm sorry TCOP--it was a tough cut
1 Point to Luke Brattoni (Such a brave idea to such a difficult song expertly executed)
2 Points to McKludge (The idea is fantastic, and well written on a song with major repitition in it's original form)
3 Points to Jeff Reuben (Classic Jeff, absolute Classic)
4 Points to Matthias (This Idol winning parody, stacks up just as well among the SOTM entrants)
5 Points to Stuart (That was just hilarious in every respect of the word, looks like Stu will be part of this SOTY despite the most of the year (NOTICED) vacation from our graces)

In honesty Conqueror, I really enjoyed your parody, it was such a tough month. . .what I can't believe is that you didn't compete for a top 5 spot with that one. . .but what will podium each month can be so unpredictable. . .
Remember last wildcard when I said you would be in the next SOTY. . .Was i write though--strong year for you. . .each vote comes down to nail biters seemingly no matter how many or few entries there are.

December 2008 SOTM Results
***************************************
1st McKludge "Dainty Thugs" (42)
Wow. Thanks a bunch, guys. I really didn't expect this one to win. I thought there were a few lines in it that were kind of filler, but I guess everyone is their own worst critic.
Congrats to Stu on his "comeback" (another month of practice and you'll win again, Stu :)), to Luke for making a Britney song bearable (bare-able? ;)), to Jeff for FUCAn things up :-[.

Thanks for the silver everyone! :) Going by the voting, I think "Stuck With These Presents..." is the most divisive parody I've ever submitted - either loved or disliked - no in between.
on the other hand, congrats McKludge for your win and for penning such a popular parody - I think it was in everyone's top 3 or 4.
good to see my fellow Aussie wombat Luke up there on the podium as well, with a typically sharp piece.
and I'm surprised conq that yours ended up voteless - it deserved better than that!
