DECATHLON EVENT 3:

TOPIC: Love & Relationships

GENRE: Elvis

http://www.ezprezzo.com/crazypics/crazysports7.jpg

THE RULES

~~Entry URLs to be posted onto this thread from the Amiright site

~~Entries must conform to both the topic and genre specifications...if in doubt, ask.

~~On the 11th September, entries close and voting begins.

~~Vote by replying to voting thread with your five favorites in order: 
Top choice gets 5 points, next gets 4 points and so on to 1 point for your fifth favourite.

~~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 25th of September.

~~By entering, you are agreeing to read and comment on all the other entries and vote.

~~Anyone who enters but does not both comment on all entries and vote by the deadline is disqualified and may not participate in the next event.

~~If you miss a submission deadline, you will not be entered in that event, but WILL be allowed to enter the next event.
However, there will STILL be an expectation that you comment and vote in the event you are not participating in, unless you have a valid reason for not being able to.

~Rule changes may be suggested by any participant in their entry post.  Changes are made only when a majority of that event's voters specify a "yes" vote along with their contest votes.

SCORING: Unlike PAOTY, scores for each Decathlon event are not cumulative. The winner of each event gets 9 Decathlon points, 2nd gets 8 and so on. This should make the contest very close throughout the next 20 weeks.
A Leaderboard will be posted after the first event

HAVE FUN!!!!!!

You're one clever dude, McArthur (you sure you're not a lawyer?) While I envisaged the genre being Elvis PRESLEY, Cap'n Stu has highlighted that it could also be COSTELLO...and in the spirit of fun, I'm gonna allow either artist. Boy, what a crazy comp!  :P

This'll be tricky...as most Elvis songs are about love anyway...I'm in trouble!

Question: Who's love & relationships are we talking about here? 'Cause I was thinking about parodying 'I'll Never Fall In Love Again' by Costello into 'Two Celebs Fall In Love...AGAIN' (which I'll need an mp3 for, BTW).

Man, you ask a lot of questions, bob!  :) It can be anything your imagination can come up with; it can be as bizarre, surreal or down-to-earth as you like. Anything goes!

Yeah, I do ask a lot of questions. Maybe it's becaus I rarely have a clue on what's going on ;).

Anyway, now my entry will be a parody of "Oliver's Army" called "To Love Her's Barmy" about this guy who loves this girl, even though she's strange.

And it's submitted! I shall post the link in one Australian Day, which is about half an American Day. Damn, I hate these time zones! It confuses me, and makes me wish I should've written my parody for Event 2 about it!  ;) :P

Okay, I'm working on something right now that I think I'm going to like better...but there is always the chance that I won't finish it in time to have it up by Monday.

SO...

If you don't hear otherwise from me, please consider this my entry:

My entry will also be up on Monday.  I also did Burning Love, with a different twist

Okay, Either I put the wrong title, or something really weird happened, but here it is:

Bovine Love

I mentioned on the voting thread for event 2 that I can't get on the other site right now...and am thus prevented from submitting my other parody for this event for tomorrow's posting.  Dammit.  Oh well...

So...yes, I'll just go with "Love Pretender."
