Subject: October Song of the Month Voting

Written By: Claude_Prez on 11/08/04 at 9:23 pm

~~Vote by replying to this thread with your three favorites in order: Top choice gets 3 points, next gets 2 points, third favorite gets 1 point.
~~You're not allowed to vote for your own song.
~~Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it.
~~Voting continues until the last day of the month ends.
~~Anyone who's participated in a SOTM contest may vote.
~~Anyone who enters but does not vote by the end of the month is disqualified and may not participate next month.
~~Voters must leave a brief comment on every parody, indicating they've read it for the SOTM contest (something like, "SOTM--555" or whatever)
~~In the event of a tie, the parody with the most first place votes wins. If it's still tied, the parody with the most second place votes wins. If it's still tied, a brief playoff round will be held. All participants will have the first week of the month to choose one favorite from among the tied entries. Tiebreaker voting is strongly encouraged but not required. On the eighth day the one with the most votes wins.

Damn, this is going to be hard: even from the ones I remember already, there's a shedload of goodies (I've just scanned through and come up with five "oh, that'll probably be one" songs...)

This time I was able to narrow my top three down to six. Sometimes I wish I were Merry & Pippin; among the countless other benefits, I could vote for all six. But since I'm not...

3 points: #18, See Your Chest
2 points: #15, 99 Rubber Boobs
1 point: #20, My Sphincter's Alone Now

Subject: Re: October Song of the Month Voting

Written By: Meriadoc on 11/30/04 at 3:13 am

This was a very good batch of parodies!

You know, I already had my top three picked out, with a couple of honorable mentions, but then I had to go back and re-read the one I loved to hate twice over, and d*mn if I didn't end up moving it from HM into the number 1 slot.  :o

In reverse order:

1 pt. to #20 - Claude's ever expanding sphincter... ;)

2 pts. to #22 - Spaff's: I parody, therefore I yam  ;D

and

3 pts. to #9 - Martha's haunting war song turned love song - dunno what it was about it; it just kept grabbing me...  ???

Honorable mention to Phil and Dee :)

Beaten by two giant boobs. I guess Elmer would have wanted it that way (heh heh).
Good show Phil and Stuart, I tip my hunting hat to you. Still not sure how I managed third... oh, but that reminds me: To everyone who voted for me, thanks and your check is in the mail. Great entries all around, everybody.

Congrats to Phil, Stuart and 2nz! 
Fabulous job, guys!  Same goes for the rest of you!   

Subject: Re: The Only Thread That Matters

Written By: Stuart McArthur on 12/01/04 at 11:39 pm

well, overtaking my incredulity that the top two songs were both about breasts
is my pride that I wrote one of them.

Congratulations to Phil - truly deserved to win (although I was desperate to overtake him!) and a 5-point margin proves that!

Congrats also to 2nz, which I think I picked as my favourite, from memory...

I loved reading all the entries though, and look forward to next month's SOTM
I still consider myself a newbie, and still think this site (and all the organisation you guys do) is a blast. :D

I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to make and post the medals for the October SOTM winners.  I will try to get to it sometime before Monday.  :)

Subject: Re: October Song of the Month Voting

Written By: philbo on 12/02/04 at 7:40 pm

You know, it's much easier to find witty or cute things to say when you've just been pipped and not quite won anything.  I should know, it's happened often enough ;)

Thanks to everyone who voted for me - I had a feeling this song was going to be a winner before I started writing it, there were so many comic ideas to go in.  That, and inflatable boobs being a naturally comic subject (as evidenced by the song that came second ;))

One quick word about Stuart's 99 boobs - I thought that it was an absolutely corking song that made me chuckle all the way through, and got better on re-reading.  All you need now is someone with a Nena-like voice to record it.  And I'm kind of glad that Elmer's new gwoove got up there, too: well worthy of a top spot (I'm pretty sure I voted for it...)

A brief apology, too, for all the songs I didn't leave comments on: I said "yes" to a MS security update which suggested that my PC needed restarting, when I had at least a dozen of them open, most with comments written but unposted.  And time's been too short to go back through them all and rethink all the oh-so-funny things I said.  It was a(nother) good month, and the competition seems to be getting harder and harder...

Anyway, it's late and I should be in bed... thanks again :D

I think it would be even funnier if you had someone with a James Earl Jones/Darth Vader voice record it, instead.

Makes it even harder to believe that Spaff did NOT go with his brassier song for November´s competition. Or maybe he felt that this cup-quota was filled (pun intended indeed!). ;-)

Congrats Phil!
