Alright everybody, it's been a long, crazy and fun year season of the ABC Competition. However, it s now time to vote for the Song of the Competition. The best of the best have made it to this level, it's now time to decide which is best. Pick your top 10 and assign them point like any other vote (1st= 10pts, 2nd= 9pts, etc....).

10pts=99 Problems by brightCAP (I hope you come back, you came out of nowhere and seemed to disappear. I'm a sucker for a good HP parody, and this was a highlight of my reads this year)
9pts=Deep Fried Carnival Cruise by Weird Abbott (many great lines, with the song structure incorporated into the concept, funny title too!)
8pts=Hell No Technology by Blaydeman (as I said in the comments, this is a worthy successor to Weird Al's techy parodies)
7pts=Viva La Hermaphrodite by Weird Abbott (this was a shiny year for you, Abbott. Every couplet brought a giggle to my face)
6pts=I Tried Your Thong by Mark Scotti (sometimes groaner/grossout kinda blue humor works every once in a while for me)
5pts=Lost My Cup by Matthias (you did a lot with Mick's ad libs here...not just any parodist could have made this memorable)
4pts=Pesky Cartoon Cats by Matthias (I'm of course a sucker for cartoons, and this parody covers all the cats so now I don't have to do one myself)
3pts=Save Me From Auntie Flow by Weird Abbott (well done male/female POV counterpoint just like the OS)
2pts=Wife In Bars by Merry & Pippin (pure poetry, it is a pleasure to see you guys active here again)
1pt=Tourist by Matthias (I know this is a hard OS to do; like writers tell other writers, write from what you know)

So. Like, am I the only person who is gonna vote here?

Since I DKTOS on most of these, I estimate at say 5 minutes per song to locate, listen and comment - it is going to take me over two hours just to get thru them all. With the TV on, watching the real election...

I'm working on it, but an extension might be nice. Haven't even heard form Peregrin on this...

10. Why I Stopped Believing in Santa Claus (1pt)

Okay - several hours of YouTube and half an election later...

Pippin and I are going to vote separately in this one ('cus I want to BE HEARD dammit! ) ;D

Election?  Where?  ;)

As M&P have been voting as a pair, Merry (as we have to, because we can't both earn 10 points as it wouldnae be fair to the others here), Then would the rules committee please accept this as being from the both of us.

I'm going to assume voting is still open on this (?)

A HUGE congratulations to brightCAP for being a new entrant into these comps. and getting the SONG OF THE YEAR! Awesome job! And congrats to Agrimorfee and Mark Scotti finishing out the podium.I'm pretty proud of myself for getting 3 parodies onto the year-end list and then having one finishing in the top ten and another in the top fifteen! It was a great year everyone. Hopefully 2013 is just as fantastic. Great job to all!

An amazing year indeed (for parody writing, at least...a sheeshty one for me, for all other things considered). I hope we see more brightCAP and Porfle this year, I really admire their work.

Thanks for the support and kind words! This was a fun competition to be a part of.. So many great entries from so many talented writers. I'm glad I found this forum to interact with all of you! Congratulations to everyone who wrote and contributed a parody last year!
