Happy New Year you all  :)
I only wrote one last month inspired by how trying my finals were. So here it is:

'Twelve Days of Finals' to a tune you all know and are probably sick of at this point.

This song's been a hit here down under, mainly due to Australian Idol exposure.
Someone SURPRISE ME and put a 'DKTOS' in, just for something fun and different this month.

Well,  I had a couple I really liked, but I'm going to go with the last one I wrote in 2004 - my first parody of a tune by the Beach Boys, using their classic "Wouldn't It Be Nice?" as a parody of a pirate who is quite pleased at his new wooden peg leg - "Wooden;  It Be Nice".

The November Contest was so fun that I think I'll enter this one as well.
This parody was the hardest one (disregard any puns) I've done so far. :)

Ya, umm, if we made a parody before December can we submit it, because it was on amiright in december if we submitted it earlier than december?

Afraid not; sorry.  But if we have trouble getting enough entries to the Wild Card round, you'll be able to enter it there, if no one has any objections.

Heavy Rock doesn´t seem to do so good in these comps, maybe too many DKTOS? Hopefully this is the second best known song from this band, I know it´s been on their live set for ages...

"For Us With Broken Gifts (will Receipt Do?)" to the tune of "For Those About To Rock (we Salute You)" by AC/DC:

http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/acdc49.shtml

And here´s a 30 seconds clip of the "battery" verse passage in the middle of the song:

In December, I submitted a parody of an entire freaking album (The Dark Side of the Moon), and people stayed away in droves. So now I'm going to force you all to confront it - well, part of it, anyway - whether you want to or not. (And isn't that what the SOTM is all about?)

Here is "Chimney Damage" to Pink Floyd's "Brain Damage":

For those who DKTOS (don't know the original song) and DPTAALSTM (don't plan to attend any laser shows this month), it's temporarily available here:

I guess I'll swing the opposite direction and pick a song for it's humor instead of it's cleverness.
So I'll submit "Super Gals In Sequined Gowns Were Wearing Red Galoshes" this time.

I submit this parody with hesitation, knowing that the majority of SOTM-voters just happen to be men who might be slightly offended by the content of said parody.

Oh well. If I don't win, I can sue your sexist asses.

Not sure which to choose, but at the risk of seeming like a wet blanket.. having thought "water lot of songs to choose from", I thought I'd go for the high-risk industrial solvent that is

Dihydrogen Monoxide

PS Spaff - is the NSotP album finished?  I don't know the individual songs that well, so I figured I'd listen through the DSOTM album in one go while reading the parody. (unless you're planning on recording the whole album, that is - that would be extremely cool)

As in motor oil? Are you suggesting turning water into oil?

Nice suggestion, but I'm still working on the basics of this Christlike stuff - forgiveness and charity, for example. The performance of miracles is still weeks away.
