Subject: Parodies with the most hits since we started tracking it...

I'm not updating this on a regular basis, or putting a link to it on amIright. Why? Easy to cheat your counts up, and I'm not interested in having thousands of useless hits on the site because someone wants to game it. It's not 100% accurate anyways.
That being said, it's still interesting to check it out.

I see that my Lithium parody is on there.(Which is also one of highest Nirvana parody votes)
Occasionally I go into my page just to see if I got anymore votes or comments on some of my parodies, so a few of those are from me(I think 2 or 3 hits).

No kidding. Several of these, particularly "(225) - Shearers Singlet by Troy" and "(398) - Amy Rose by Blethar", I recognize not from the parody, but from all the spammed comments I had to remove. That a parody with 225 or near 400 new looks and maybe 1 new vote/no new comments seems to suggest spammers are still hitting it, but can't get by the security captchas...
Others that I do recognize are, IMHO, nowhere near those author's best works...
Search engine entries no doubt play a large role in some of these numbers.
Speaking of which, I can't figure out how "What's The Meaning?" is my most hit parody. The search phrase is common, but unless one enters "parody" or something similar afterward, it's probably buried on page 99 of Google: IOW, something no one would ever find.
Odd that a near two year old parody of mine leads in hits... not that it was a bad parody, it's just that I have no idea how people are finding it now (interesting that it has no new votes or comments either...)
I do like the hit counter though - it is interesting to see which parodies are getting looks nowadays.

This is interesting...the #1 looked at parody is at least partially taken from the simpsons. The one I wrote with the most hits is one that I never perform for what is probably the same reason that it has so many hits - there's a famous parody with a very similar name that I was somehow unaware of when I wrote it. I also noticed that Hey there delilah parodies are quite popular.
