Subject: January 2012 SOTM Voting Thread--Results Posted

Written By: jreuben on 02/09/12 at 10:35 am

Note to new participants: Welcome, and good luck. Please read all guidelines carefully. Especially, please make sure to read all the entries and vote by the end of the month. The SOTM is not so much a contest as a feedback exchange. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, either in this thread or via personal message. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

~~Vote by replying to this thread with your five favorites in order:
1st choice- 5 points
2nd place- 4 points
3rd place- 3 points
4th place- 2 points
5th place- 1 point.

~~You're not allowed to vote for your own song.

~~Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it.

~~Voting continues until the last day of the month ends.

~~Anyone who's participated in a SOTM contest may vote.

~~By entering, you are agreeing to read and comment on all the other entries and vote.

~~Anyone who enters but does not both comment on all entries and vote by the end of the month is disqualified and may not participate next month, while all points will be forfeited, an entrant who has been disqualified may still participate next month if (s)he goes back and comments on all entrants from the month (s)he got disqualified prior to the end of the entry field (s)he is trying to get involved in.

~~In the event of a tie, the parody with the most first place votes wins.
If it's still tied, the parody with the most second place votes wins. and so on
If the points total and votes are identical, it will be left as a legitimate tie

~~Any entrant whose votes don't show a time stamp prior to midnight on the last day of the month (ie. according to the "inthe00's meantime" clock as it appears BEFORE you log in - not a timezone corrected version) is disqualified, no exceptions.

~~A medal known as the FUCA shall be awarded to the highest ranking parody which did not make the month's podium and is of an original song which has not previously earned any medal

4 points: Matthias' going for broke(n bones)

3 points: 2nz' battery aided love

2 points: Abbott's reality chick check

1 point: COP's empty house

HM to everyone else.

Note to Matthias; I've only done "YMCA" once before, once and a half counting "SOTM" started on the message board that was never completed. I've done "In the navy" twice though, that one's much funnier to rewrite, maybe some of you yanks should use the possible Navy/Romney substitute for a take. ;)

I didn't double check my facts I only remember hearing you saying for your "Not Safe For Work" that it wasn't going to be yet another "YMCA" parody...

OK, I see now how that could be interpreted that way, though it was meant to be a general statement about how almost every possible four letter acronym sooner or later ends up a YMCA parody by someone here on Amiright, and actually I now also remember that I had a half written sketch called "HOPA and/or HPOA" based on this internet meme from a few years back, so you could say that I've tried it out four times even if only two of those got posted:

Great, isn't it? ;D

It's good to see you back Peter.

Wow, close one. THanks for the votes everybody. I only got one 1st (THANKS ABBOTT) and I thought Matty was set to beat me. COngrats on a close second, bro. And congrats also to Abbott for your two 2nd places, and Arwen for your one 2nd place. Great fun everyone. Get ready for some obnoxious use of my PINK parody in multiple contests this month.
