This was a pretty tough round. On a side note, I have to say I'm most pleased that everyone parodied songs that are quite good; a playlist with these 13 songs wouldn't be a bad thing at all.

Here are my votes:

5 points to #3: Let's Get Lazy by Agrimorfee
4 points to #9: Livin' Like Jed Clampett by Matthias
3 points to #2: Louisiana (And the Purchase Thereof) by Arwen
2 points to #12: Lock of Wife by Johnny D

Could this possibly be the hardest ABC3 round to split votes into yet? - I could imagine giving votes to all of these if I saw them in a less competitive field

But nevertheless....

Congratulations to Arwen, Agrimorfee, and Johnny D

Two DQs this round: Kristof and The Charnstar did not vote/comment in time and forfeit their combined 42 points, as well as what would have been the gold medal winning parody. Sorry guys, but unless you throw down some convincing pleas, you will also be ineligible for the M round.

My profuse apologies for not voting: I sat down at my PC last night with about 10 hours before the deadline and.....no internet. Buggered if I know what's wrong, but AOL was not responding. I'm writing this from my work PC, and I only have 15 minutes a day free internet time. I'm most sorry to those who voted for my parody, I feel I've let you down. I'm also bummed that it did so well- but that's life. I'll take my punishment with good grace, and hope to see you all in round N.

Once again, I'm really sorry.

If you had AOL problems--especially 10 hours before deadline--I think that's a viable excuse.

I think we should let Kristof in for M.
Does anyone second that?

EDIT: I see that Kristof has no entry anyway.

Thanks to everyone for your 20 pts...Arwen, you deserve the Gold win.
