So...I wasn't as early as I'd wanted to be...but I was SORT of early.  For me, anyway.  :)

Couldn't really decide between the first three and the last two - in an ideal world, I'd have given them as a 3-way tie for first and a 2-way for fourth.

And to all those who'd not heard any Tim Minchin before this round, there's plenty more to look at - and most of them are fantastic.  It's not often I'll admit that I think one of my parodies isn't as funny as the original, but topping one of my favourite Minchin songs was maybe a tough call.

Unless anyone wants to correct my maths before I post this... (didn't think so).. I declare the results as:

First place, with 27 points: Smurfalicious Jeff
Second place, with 23 points: Arwen's knackered printer
Third place, with 22 points: Inedible Me

In fourth, with 14 points, Guy DiRito's not-so-happy meal - and seeing as I can't find Lady Madonna on the list, he's this month's FUCA winner.

Blue congrats to Jeff, Arwen, uncannibal Phil and Guy. I'l fix the FUCA list over the weekend.
