Only three to choose from this month, and out of all three, this one's probably the most well-known and the one which I took the most time on:

'Netball Wizard' to the tune of The Who's 'Pinball Wizard':

Hello all- once again I am back for another swing at SOTM. I only had three to choose this month from so lets throw this one to the wall and see if it sticks...

"Liposuction" - (Hyperactive by Thomas Dolby)
http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/thomasdolby5.shtml

It's kind of an old obscure 80's song. I have no idea where to even find an mp3 for it. If anyone knows where you can, please let me know!
Good luck to everyone on another gruelling bloodthirsty match!  ;)

Due to a hard drive crash, I lost about 30 unfinished parodies, as well as the master recording I was working on of Spaff's "A Day in the Exodus". Weeks worth of work down the drain. I was only able to submit 2 parodies this month. I implore you all to BACK UP YOUR WORK to CD or DVD before you lose it. Now that you've all been invited to my pity party, I will submit this parody:

My entry is "Neal's Brothel" - http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/vicmizzy2.shtml - to the tune of the TV show "Green Acres".  It's about the anti-abortion activist, Neal Horsley, and his admitted practice of sexual intercourse with animals.

I have to say my MP3 recording of 'Beer In Heaven' is creating an unprecedented number of plays among my recorded parodies on Soundclick, so I am contractually obligated to enter it this month.

look, I wouldn't just make that up Jeff - it is a reference to a line from your most recent (or recent at least) parody

and you say you don't know about Stella Artois, so I'm keeping those 6 crates to myself thanks very much

(and my experience with Bud Lite is that you need three of them just to keep up with one regular beer)

Hi all, this is my first SOTM entry, so I hope i'm doing it right.

I have many parodies, but only 2 posted @ amiright, the rest are either too offensive, or too lame.
(Funny enough, both that I have posted are Mariah Carey songs)

Hi.  You're doing it wrong. 

Sorry; I couldn't resist.  Seriously, though, we've always been pretty strict about the guidelines so that your entry, which appeared on Sept. 2nd, will be eligible and more than welcome in the September SOTM, which will begin at the end of the month.  If you have any August parodies, they'd be eligible for this contest, except I'm closing the entries now so either way I guess you miss the boat this time.  We're very happy to welcome new contestants, though, so I sincerely hope you come back and enter, sometime between Oct. 1-7.  Thank you.

Bye-Bye, Little Chevy of Mine

Just double-checking all the entries to make sure they're all eligible.  I'm really sorry, but I'm afraid that as a September 5 parody, this one is eligible for the September SOTM, which begins at the end of the month.  Hope to see you there!
