As stated prior to this thread, VOTING is worth points.  If you vote and did not enter this contest, you will get 3 points towards the overall 5 year standings in the Artistry contest.  When you vote as an entrant in this round, you receive 5 points for voting. . .that means no one who votes ends with no points. . . .

Anyway, the rules are pretty similar to other contests.  This is round 46 so please know that ALL rounds will count EQUALLY toward the final standings, and NO rounds will be omitted from the final total.

1. All participants must comment on all entrants and vote by the deadline, which for this rounds is April 15th, 2009.  Failure to vote will forfeit all points from this round, and if that is less than 20 points, the difference will be forfeited in the following round (No Disqualifications)

2. Voting will take place by replying to this thread

3. If a person withdraws from an Artistry Round prior to the end of a round, all entrants who voted for that person's entry will be permitted to pick one new song to earn a bonus point, all other songs will be realigned accordingly.  There will be no penalty on those who don't change their vote.

4. Once a vote is posted, it cannot be changed UNLESS rule 3 applies OR there was a double-vote by accident.

5. Late entries will be accepted until the 1st vote has been posted.

6. The deadline is a strict deadline, the moment the date has reached the day after the deadline, no votes will count, this is to reduce last minute voting, or sympathy/favoritism towards different entrants.

7. We ask that any entrant who posts a link to his/her original song (source of parody) not be DKTOS for the contest.

8. All other basic competition rules as applied in other competitions are generally followed.  The rules may not be changed or altered unless two/thirds of those voting in a round where a rule change is requested agrees.  Rules may be added by host (Below Average Dave) if it was a rule in the ABC or SOTM contest that was thought to be common knowledge, but not known by a particular entrant.

I will be voting before the deadline as usual, but I have left a comment on my parody aimed at Agri and TCOP mostly, I have an honest question over there because I'd really like to know so I can avoid a parody appearing rushed in the future, because I have had some rush jobs--and this one was not rushed so I'm confused as to what I did that made it seem rush, with three comments to that effect I know it must be for a reason, I just can't figure it out.

Thank You guys for responding, I really appreciated it, I'm just trying to tweak my writing skill, especially on ones that are likely to be recorded, Karma Agri, TCOP and Matty for your follow ups

1 Point... I thought I had this one! Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Oh well, Congrats to Rex and Aggy with their great Metallica parodies and those of you who voted for my Killer Sandwich

Seems like Metallica has that balance of low-denominator and high-mindedness that made the challenge here. Should be even harder with Iron Maiden. GULP!
