Topic: Jobs and Empoloyment

Decade: The 1950s

http://hearthembeforeyoudie.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/backto50s1.jpg

(If you need help figuring out what songs came out at that time period. Longbored Surfer can help you out there: http://longboredsurfer.com/charts/)
(Of course any song from that time period counts not just these certain songs. So if you want to do something obscure be my guest).

Here are the few rules that this contest has...

1. Make sure that your song has something to do with the topic (That's why it's there for)
2. Make sure your song is from that half decade (If you don't know ask)
3. Make sure that you get it done in the time limit given (Which is two weeks from today)
4. Make sure to post it here when it's uploaded on Amiright
5. Have fun with it

Deadline: November 3rd

I'm going to go with a classic of mine for this round...

"Poodle Puddle Cleaner"

http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/shebwooley1.shtml
(It says it's 60s but it actually came out in 1958)

Okay...listening to Sirius/XM 50s on 5 all day today...gotta get some inspiration.  :)

Would a song about doing stand-up comedy qualify under "jobs and employment"?

If you're getting paid for it.

In that case I'll give this one a shot:

"SIXTEEN PUNS"

"Sixteen Tons"

I think I'll take on Billy Eckstine's "I Apologise" and make it a tribute to this website:

"Stupid customers" is surely work-related, is it not? If so, stay tuned for "The Customer Is Not Always Right"!

Since I had to sit out on Round III due to some issues IRL beyond my control, I made sure to finish my Round IV entry on time, with a parody of Archie Bleyer's 1954 hit "Hernando's Hideaway".  :)

Going to get the link up tomorrow or whenever Chucky updates parody lyrics next...

Is there any way to get an extention for this round? I know that I think every round thus far has been pushed back already, but I (and I'm pretty sure others) would like some more time for this round.

Oh yeah. Not a problem. We were all caught up in the spirit of Halloween so I'll push it back to the 10th

^ Who's we, paleface? The only thing that happens at Halloween around my area is some stores having a sale and bunch of TV specials. Big whoop. Anyway...

The Customer Is Not Always Right

Vid for "I Apologize" by Billy Eckstine

http://www.amiright.com/parody/misc/archiebleyer1.shtml

"Buy & Sell", a parody about my IRL line of work... based on 1954 hit song "Hernando's Hideaway" by Archie Bleyer.

Written in a pinch after my original idea, a parody of "Oh, My Pa-Pa" by Eddie Fisher, from the same year, about delivering pizza, failed.

Just submitted mine...was desperate to finish today, but didn't know about the extension.  Haha.  Oh well...it's done.  :)  Not sure if the voting deadline was extended, too, but I'll vote tomorrow!  :)
