However, there will STILL be an expectation that you comment and vote in the event you are not participating in, unless you have a valid reason for not being able to.

SCORING: Unlike PAOTY, scores for each Decathlon event are not cumulative. The winner of each event gets 9 Decathlon points, 2nd gets 8 and so on. This should make the contest very close throughout the next 20 weeks.

HAVE FUN!!!!!!

You would find an exception. . . :)

I'm doing a parody of "Hard Rock Hallelujah" by Lordi. The name should speak for itself on the genre, but here's the link if there's any doubt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdItwaLrv1U I'll probably have it done by the end of the week. (Though it will be here by the deadline.) I think Matthias will do very well in this one, since he does metal and redneck parodies. Let's hope for the best!

Any chance of working this into hard rock/metal ended with the wizard suit :)

Sorry Jeff... Gretchen Wilson is nothing but country (Okay and that one time she did something with Alice In Chains, lol)

Good band and song choice, and thanks for the confidence

Okay, hard rock/metal? Easy. Redneck humour? I KNOW CRAP ALL. I'm officially in trouble.

That wasn't a submission, just a snarky comment (and a link for those who hadn't seen it in the past).  I have a new song for this in the works.

I'll see what I can do

Seriously guys, what counts as redneck humour/white trash humour? It doesn't help that Australia doesn't have that stereotype running around (the closest we have is the 'bogan'). Damnitt, if only The Traveling Wilburys fit into the genre, then I'd just use "Sleepin With His Sister Jan" or whatever it was called. Help!

"The Hick From Tennessee"

Since Tenacious D IS a Hard Rock artist... There's my placeholder.

Conq...according to wikipedia, bogan is a good equivalent to redneck, white trash, or hillbilly:

So I can write a parody about them? Please?

Sounds good to me!

Sweet! Now to delve into bogan culture and find an appropriate song to parody...

Found one! Apparently AC/DC is typical bogan music. Therefore:

He Is A Real Bogan

Vid for "You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC

"South Park" to Soundgarden's "Spoonman" coming soon. It'll be at least a place-holder. That song works right?

Soundgarden were nominated for Best Metal Performance at the Grammy's once, so yeah! Great OS choice. Here's my entry: Redneck Salute To Ya', parody of Lordi's "Hard Rock Hallelujah": http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/lordi12.shtml

Holy cow...this is due Monday!  Eeek!

I've got an idea...that's half written in my head...I just kept thinking that September had just started...I had plenty of time.  Whoops.

You know that I'm very lenient on deadlines... If anybody needs a few day extention I'll allow it, All you need to do is ask.
As for me, I always have a redneck parody in my collection (Most like of Hard Rock/ Metal in nature)

I am having the hardest time with this one.  First, since I don't know the genre at all and second that I don't really know redneck issues outside of Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvel.  I will continue to try to work on Fish Stick Night.

You could always do a parody about Jeff Foxworthy/ Bill Engvel... I mean you already did one about William Shatner. Another actor tribute shouldn't be a problem for you  ;)

As for me I'm either going to parody a song by Nightwish or Skillet or even Sonata Arctica...

Oh, I forgot Skillet!  One of my favorite bands of all time :)

Double Post!

My '52 Ford
(Parody of Skillet's "My Beautiful Robe")

I can't believe I'm striking out on the first freaking round!! :-[

I actually have two different parodies about half written now...but can't seem to get either one to fall into place.  I've never asked for an extension...but if you want to give me an extra day or two, Matty...I'll do what I can tomorrow.  I'm totally bummed.  :(

Sure no problem Arwen... I need the extension myself, but I didn't want to extend it just for me so now I have a valid reason. We'll make the deadline Wednesday the 16th

I'll post the Round 2 entry thread today though...

I lucked out on that too. I can submit mine later today. And thanks for the extension Matt.

Alright...mine is done.  Mostly.  Hee hee.

It needs some polishing...but I'll submit it tonight...should be up tomorrow.

Thanks for allowing me to justify an extension for everyone who secretly wanted one.   :-*

Alright...mine is officially done.  Here's the link to "Trailer Park Beauty Queen"

http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/winger2.shtml

Thanks again for the extension, Matty. 

Now...on to Hip Hop...

Done. Here it is:

http://www.amiright.com/parody/90s/soundgarden33.shtml

'South Park' to 'Spoonman' by Soundgarden, as specified.

I've been trying a whole bunch of songs but time restraints are getting to me. Soooooooooo... It looks like I'm going to have to go with...

"Hick From Tennessee"

http://lovemygadget.com/rednecks/cartoon.gif

http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/tenaciousd19.shtml

Mine will be up tomorrow

(yes, I live!!!)  :)

Finally came up with an idea for this round... I always get them way too late, but since nobody voted yet I'm going to write it tonight and post it tomorrow. Of course if you want to vote right now I won't count it against you, but I had a last minute idea that I really liked and I think I'm going to go with...

"You Might Be A Redneck" to Queensryche's "I Don't Believe In Love"
