since there were only 14 votes and 24 entries last round i'm starting a mandatory voting policy. If you do not vote in a round that you submitted an entry for then you must sit out the round 2 weeks after (if you miss this one and submitted an entry you can't submit a parody for round "f") the 2nd offense will be a 2 round penalty, 3rd is 3 rounds, 4th is 4 rounds and if you do it again you're out of the competition. voting is optional if you didn't submit a parody in that round but have done so before

considering the reasons for voting problems last round i'm going to change the penalties to one round without penalty and from then on you sit out one round each time you enter and don't vote

This round isn't as strong as C. The clear favorite in my opinion is "Dopey Kobe" by Spaff if only because that makes two parodies to include karl malone (and since the other won an amiright award this one should win too) It's parody success guarenteed... KARL MALONE. whoda thunkit?

the other one i liked was the McFerrin parody... but horrible puns don't ALWAYS win so my vote is for...

Spaff.com "Dopey Kobe"

I will go with

#3 Rick's "Do a Little Piddle"


I wish we had a 3-2-1 point system here like in SOTM, 'cus there were a couple of other strong ones; I really liked Jeff's "Don't Worry, It's Copied" and Neminen's "Calculus."

Gonna go with #1, just perfect. I'll comment on every song in a bit, only had time to read.

I'm voting for Adagio's "Conniption" because it hits home, and I decided this before I noticed she voted for me.

I'll go with "Don't Worry, It's Copied" by Reuben.

It would be very nice if you'd let the contest go through a weekend - I'll have time to go through all the parodies on Saturday, but probably not before. Would that be alright?

Creative, consistent theme, tight pacing and funny--my vote for ABC's "D" Round goes to Merry & Pippin! :D

Well, Mawyer's "Do Your Laundry" had my vote all the way right until the very last song, when I came across "Dyslexian Typios". Sorry Mawyer, I'm gonna have to go with #1 - Merry and Pippin's "Dyslexian Typios".

Subject: Re: ABCs round D voting thread

Written By: jreuben on 05/21/04 at 9:59 pm

For me this came down to Merry and Pippin's Dyslexia, and Ethan's laundry song, with Adagio's Conniption in 3rd.  I'm going with #15, Do Your Laundry.

Congratulations, Merry & Pippin - a well deserved victory with a very good parody!

I got busy with some other stuff and missed the voting deadline, but I was up in the air between Merry & Pippin's entry and Martha DTox's entry.
