This may sound like a stupid question but, for the two points, you listed "Voodoo Child" did you mean "Voodoo Doll" and "Wild Child JIN?" (Me)  :)

Yeah, I was being silly.

If you notice, Matty did a play on the parody titles/subjects & author names with 4 out of 5 of his votes.  Lots of folks do things like this...

Well, so far I have 5 points! Whoo-pee....  http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/07/party.gif  http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/02/bounce2.gif

They add up for your total in SOTY (song of the year). And this is the grand total marking who's the winner of all the months (overall).

When will the March STOM thread be posted?  ???

When Jeff gets around to it.

I never liked this rule, as commenting doesn't prove you actually read a parody and this month is no exception, but the winner is disqualified on a technicality this month for never commenting on my parody.

Dammit! I commented on your other parody of the same song and that's what confused me. Since you posted this one twice.

I think I should be able to keep my place as winner because it was a minor confusion and like you said commenting doesn't really matter. (Also it could have been deleted by somebody because they were angry at me and I didn't know about it). There's so much gray area when it comes to commenting.

And since I'm co-in charge of this and since I did vote I'll allow myself to keep my position (I would let anyone else who did this by accident to keep their place as well).

Thanks Matty for compiling the stats, and congrats to the winners!

The reason for the commenting rule has always been to encourage everyone to take the time to read the other parodies and provide feedback for the authors.  In this case, Matty voted, commented on all the other parodies, and actually commented on a duplicate version of Ethan's parody (is that right)? 

Can you re-type what you said before (at least as close as you can remember) on the new one and then all can be forgiven?

Congrats on your win - this was an insanely competitive round with only one parody that I did not want to give points to. However, I am a bit surprised that I was completely excluded from 3 people's top fives when none of them had any criticism for what I wrote and mine had, by far, the highest degree of difficulty of the original song out of every entry this month and until proven otherwise I will not believe that there were any flaws in my execution.

Hey if it makes you feel any better, my vote kicked me off the podium.  4 points to you, 2 points to Arwen, I was one point behind the tie, and I gave 3 to Matthias, which would tie me with him, though I'm not sure who would have had the tie break ;)
