Thanks Dave

Here are my votes, my comments (directing comments will be placed separately on each parody) and a smiley gif each just because I saw that I could use eight different ones for the eight different songs in eight different kinda ways fitting the various parodies:

5 points for #6 - Weird Abbott: "Papa (Mom's A Nazi)"  :o
Three numbers: 555!
Two words: Monty Pythonesque!
One complaint: Avoiding the shower three times is at least one to many because the chorus looks like it could be altered in more than one way even for this sick and crazy subject, for one maybe like this:
"Parrots can't be found
But mom is studying oldish Wehrmacht signs
Tell you she's insane-ious
And her ashtray's kinda creepy
Papa-moms a Nazi"

4 points for #3 - Jeff Reuben: "Tunnel Vision" :D
555 and to pick up on your comment to Matthias I'll add that even as a foreigner (no pun intended) I thought this was about baseball, hence I was expecting a final punchline along the lines of "no third base for anyone that night" or something like that.

3 points for #2 - Matthias: "MapQuest Got Me Completely Lost" :(
Add ten inches to your parody, call 555-MATTHIAS! As for switching to GPS I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, just last year over here there was this guy who drove himself right into a lake because he had one that said it would be a road there (but then again if you trust a machine over your own eyes that could happen to anyone).

2 points for #5 - Arwen: "Don't Fight Me"  8)
I don't have any big problems with you painting Van Gogh as a martial arts expert and yourself as the same in the same parody, because isn't parody writing talent just a minor substitute for an AFK ability to do senseless overkill graphic violence on the world at large, wouldn't all we amirighters be out kicking ass in Bruce Lee's style if we only could, or is that just you?

1 point for #9 - Mark Scotti: "Pelts" :-*
Funny and clever parody but I'll object to the intro, this doesn't explain why alternative lifestyles came around, this explains why the Heidelbergensis and the Neanderthals died out.


Honorable Mentions (In Order Of Appearance):


#1 - Below Average Dave: "You Are Such A Bore" >:(
I would find a parody like this boring to write, then again that's just me, then again again maybe it started as something else, something about beer rather than bore, maybe something like "you are stuck on coors" or something, that I could do and gawd knows where I'd drift off from that before I was done, then again again again the original was such a snorefest that your new lyrics matched the music better than the original words so I voted 555 for it (and I hope I didn't bore you with my rant about the whole thing here).

#4 - Conqueror_Of_Parodies: "Ow, My Eyes!" :\'(
I can't see (pun intended) the fun in this parody TCOP, it's a 513 for me, sorry.

#8 - Andria: "Toilet Trained" 8-P
The dating market is like a forgotten box of chocolate you find weeks after Christmas, all the good ones are taken and all that is left is a few disgusting ones in the corners filled with liquor, but settling for toilet-trained? Naah - surely a parodist can do better!

Great job everyone, and thanks for the constructive criticism...I do realize I may have used the "shower" line too many times, but thanks for the votes anyway!

Anyway...

Didn't you or Aggy win with "Paradise By The Dashboard Lights"?

Didn't you or Aggy win with "Paradise By The Dashboard Lights"?




Not According to the FUCA list. . .NHL is Much More Than Fights did podium in an ABC round, however it was not my entry for SOTM, as for Agrimorfee, I think he's parodied it, but I don't recall reading it in an SOTM, but he's been around long before my first entry in 2006, so unless it was pre-2006 no buddy, Paradise by the Dashboard Lights is not yet an SOTM medalist

Cool

Woohoo! Thanks everybody! My first win in almost three years. And it couldn't have happened at a better time, come Monday I'll be closer to fifty than fourty (tomorrow is my birthday, do the math) and I've been a bit depressed about that, but now I feel that I can honestly say that I still got game, thanks to this incoming surprise gift!

Outgoing congrats to Arwen, Jeff and Matthias, I'll update the FUCA list later as I'm off to work in a few minutes but from a quick look I'll say that "Paradise City" is the only paradise on the list so far.

Dave,

I had 25 points, Arwen had 20.

Jeff:  3+1+5+4+4+4+4
Arwen:  5+4+4+2+2+3

Congrats to Peter, who also had the best line in my song in his comment (the 3rd base line), and Arwen!

The FUCA thread has been updated. For those into strange apocalyptical omens I'll also have you know that all three new future no-nos on the list ended up aligned!

"Don't Stand So Close To Me" by The Police.
"Don't Trust Me" by 3OH!3.
"Double Vision" by Foreigner.

Surely this must be a sign of eminent DDDoom! :o

That's why my song didn't make it... I should have went with "Dashboard Lights By The Paradise" instead!  :D
