Johnny D's "Ophelia"

Though I avoid the political, my vote goes to Martha Dtox for doing an amazing job with an impossible Lehrer song. This was one of her first, and I reread my early notes. This was a strange round, with a lot of educational/insightful stuff. I also wanted to vote for Adagio and Agri, both not so funny but great.

Johnny D's Ophelia.  That's some madness, my Shakespearean friend.

You took the words right out of my mouth... and twisted them into an unrecognisable format.  :P
A truly huge effort from Martha DTox, you get my vote.

The weener( ;D) is Jake for the Army's in/out plastic surgery song, #15.

I've kind of had to rush through reading the bottom half of the list as I'm going to be off for a few days in about half an hour, but I reckon nobody comes close to Martha's incredible Enron essay to one of my favourite Tom Lehrer songs.  #10

Can't go past the effort by A room full of Monkeys

Tough to choose as always but this is the one that sticks out right now:

#4 "Open Bar" by Jeff Reuben

Subject: Re: ABCs Round O voting thread

Written By: jreuben on 08/20/04 at 10:57 pm

#13, Rice and Watt's One Ring

Second place goes to Joelle with the Home Ec song.

Liked RiceWatts' and Jeff's a lot; Ethan's cracked me up in a silly kind of way; but since we can only choose one I have to go with:

#15 Jake/Luke/Ralph's plastic surgery debacle... :)

#1 "One-eye the Trouser Snake" by Rick Duncan

Hey look at this, I actually made the deadline!

Subject: Re: ABCs Round O voting thread

Written By: Rick D on 08/22/04 at 7:52 pm

As it stands now by my count, we have a three way tie between Martha, Johnny, and me. We need a vote from Ethan and neminem to hopefully break it, But Armstrong voted and did not enter (Not one of the three ties) I personally want to thank Ethan for managing this up til now, I know I don't want to take over, although I might help. The "Q" round should be easier, not everyone has that letter. And thanks MooRocca, for chipping in.

thanks for the vote Phil! It was a fun song to write..the outcome of a request from Frank Partnoy (new book"Infectious Greed" ..very well worth reading ...it is a. superb analysis of recent US financial history and economics)) for some whimsical commentary to his book. I write the verse before I saw the book .. which takes a very interesting line on the subject .. the verse was written based on Frank's earlier testimony to a Congressional Committee....

the original trigger for the song was the word Watergate.. it just wrote itself after that really!
