Sorry, but I just had much more fun writing this one than my 'When Doves Cry' parody.
Guess I'm just a DKTOS addict.

I'm always reluctant to enter political parodies (I don't know of one that's ever medaled), but damnit, I worked to hard on this one and I like it too damn much not to enter it!

Torn between two parodies... one got more votes, but people didn't really get where the humour was coming from, the other got only a few votes but pretty much everyone knows what i'm talking about. So, in the end I chose:

(Shhh... you didn't see me checking in.  I'm just back from a MUCH needed vacation and now that I've had a chance to destress, relax and rediscover what the word "fun" means, I am swamped under all the RL work that piled up in my absence, so technically, I'm not really back, yet.  I will be  back in plenty of time to vote in the round, though,  so I wanted to check in long enough to enter.  :) )

I don't know which to choose, this month: most of 'em were rants of some kind.  My "Laws of Science" probably should be the choice, but I'm going to go with the really rather unhappy

"Killing Children (Wanton murder)"

'cause it leaves me with a tear in my eye whenever I try and read it.  And that makes it unique of all the songs I've written so far.  Sorry for inflicting this on everyone.

Having a break from SOTM, as I didn't have much worthy of entry in July. Going to spend August coming up with some killer parodies. Good luck, everyone!

All parody links and sound files should be working correctly. If not let me know as soon as possible please.

Thanks, Red Ant.  I actually was almost finished with it early this morning before work when my monitor suddenly went blank.  Needless to say I was a bit frustrated.  Anyway, I want everyone to know I'm with you in spirit as well and will be back trying to kick all your butts in next month's contest.  Or something like that.  So have fun all.
