Tough call: as much as I really, really do HATE many people's favorite bands, I really have to go pee now.

For me, #3 is the far and away standout. However, very honorable mention to #21.

#3.

An honorable mention for Jake for the tightly constructed and wonderfully written Eminem parody, which unfortunately is too full of jokes only us parody-writing folks could understand.  8)

Written By: MooRocca on 06/24/04 at 7:14 am

An amiright classic:  #1  Jeff Reuben "I've Got To Pee Now"

With a very honorable mention to #12 Charlie Decker  "I Fought The Test"

#4  Rick Duncan  "I Don't Like Sneezy"

Subject: Re: ABCS round I voting

Written By: Meriadoc on 06/26/04 at 7:29 pm

Again, another hard round as there were so many good ones! Rick, Pat, Ethan and Leo all were in the running for my final vote. Then I read Phil's "Freezer" and almost to the very end I was saying 'this is the one.'

But being the affectionado of word-play I am, I have to give the honors (honours?) to #15, JAR's "I'm Pleading. Jot a Comment." Perfectly pacing to what I am sure is a very difficult song, and just constant clever wording all the way through. Methinks it would go trippingly on the tongue. :)

Subject: Re: ABCS round I voting

Have to go with MooRocca's song, #3...awesome job!

Written By: marthadtox3 on 06/27/04 at 3:12 pm

my vote goes to no 15  Luke's impressive eminenm parody..  Luke you might be amused by the Michael Mathers litigation on the L word.....you parody inspired me to look for something mathers related and found this little classic!!

Subject: Re: ABCS round I voting

Written By: Peregrin on 06/27/04 at 5:22 pm

My vote goes to Number 3 - MooRocca's Band hating song!  :)

Subject: Re: ABCS round I voting

Written By: 2nz on 06/27/04 at 8:27 pm

I hope it isn't too rude of me to ask for a 30 minute extension on voting tonight. If the final tally can wait until 10:30, it would be greatly appreciated.

#4 Rick Duncan's "I Don't Like Sneezy"

Honorable mentions for both MooRocca's simple yet strong and sprited entry, and nem's UT tribute.

I don't know how close the race is, but I'll have my vote in within the next hour or so (prior to 10 pm in my time zone). Sorry for the delay.

Hmm... not to interrupt an awkward moment, but....

I wanted to thank everyone who stopped by to give my parody a looksee and especially those who voted for it.  Since the top tens disappeared before I could get my first number one, I sort-of think of winning this as getting my first number one and I have to admit, I'm still rubbing my eyes and double checking to make sure that's really my name up there!  Thanks a million!

Congratulations, MooRocca.  A well deserved post-birthday reward!!


And thanks to Spaff for boldly tabulating the votes.

Subject: Re: ABCS round I voting

Written By: Johnny_D on 07/04/04 at 10:25 am

Congratulations, MooRocca !    ;D

And Mighty Spaff, thank you for tabulating the votes!    :)

And... Since both Ethan and Spaff posted their comments to each other here openly and publicly on this public messageboard, they've invited public commentary ....

....... So, Ethan, if you want the rest of us to refrain from tabulating ABC Votes without your permission, OK, that's fine......  :)

....... but gee whiz, Ethan, you could have, at the very least, offered Spaff a quick little gentlemanly Thank-You for doing you what he thought was a favor.......?  ???
