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

RULES
- Any parody beginning with the current letter is eligible, except parodies that have been entered into ABC1 or ABC2 or ABC3
- You're not allowed to vote for your own parody
- Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it
- Anyone who's participated in any previous ABC contest may vote

ALSO
Under no circumstances will a vote that missed the voting deadline be accepted (even by 1 second)

   1.  Post an "appeal" on this thread giving your excuse for missing the deadline, and plead for mercy
   2.  If your plea wins the sympathy of 3 other entrants your disqualification from the next round will be overturned

HM to Melanie, and TCOP

Kevin, I thought yours was really interesting and telling of what may come, keep that up, perhaps work on the choruses a bit and keep up the unique ideas, very close call for fifth

1 point to Red Ant (Despite it not being one of my favs by you, there were enough really out there lines to carry it--though I can't in good conscience call them misheard lyrics. . .)

2 Points to Arwen (. . .this is an epic classic, but I was kinda surprised to find a few rhyme-oops in there on this read through, still good though)

3 Points to Agrimorfee (This one has aged well enough to still earn points despite being a heavyweight in the Barry White round, it was long enough ago to make it still fresh. . )

4 Points to Matthias (. . .and this one is even older, and an impressive OS, only drawback I see is anyone who doesn't know Calvin & Hobbes would be lost. . .lucky for you I do)

5 Points to Jeff Reuben (First time reading it, which is becoming a rarity in contests, not that I can complain, I sometimes have nothing else to enter but one that's already competed, but this was a great Jeff Reuben classic that I think will age very well)

Um...I'm here to vote, and the title of this thread says the deadline is today, April 11.  Then I'm looking inside and it says the deadline was Thursday, April 10--and actually, yesterday, Friday, was April 10!  So I'm assuming that the deadline is actually today, Saturday, April 10, 2009.  I'll probably miss part of The Ten Commandments doing this, but here goes...

I found the quality uneven within quite a few songs this round: hilarious lines followed by thuds, and vice-versa.  Oh, well.  Maybe I'm in a tricked-up mood.  Now to finish my laundry, and to watch the rest of The Ten Commandments on ABC-TV  (how appropriate!).  Happy Passover/Easter/Spring Break!  :-*
