Subject: Voting Thread For ABC3 (O) - ***results posted***

Written By: Red Ant on 01/03/07 at 8:18 pm

Welcome to the
ABC3 (O)
Voting Thread



Voting deadline for ABC3(O) is midnight (amiright time)     Wednesday January 17rd
No votes date-stamped after the voting deadline will be accepted - no exceptions



Vote by replying to this thread with your five favorites in order:

1st choice........5 points
2nd place.........4 points
3rd place..........3 points
4th place..........2 points
5th place..........1 point

or in algebraic terms, p = 6 - r     (p=points, r=rank)



RULES
- Any parody beginning with the current letter is eligible, except parodies that have been entered into ABC1 or ABC2
- You're not allowed to vote for your own parody
- Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it
- Anyone who's participated in any previous ABC contest may vote
- Any entrant who hasn't left a comment on all entries is disqualified and may not participate in the next letter
- Any entrant who doesn't vote by the voting deadline (above) is disqualified and may not participate in the next letter



ALSO
Under no circumstances will a vote that missed the voting deadline be accepted (even by 1 second)
However the resulting disqualification from entry to the next ABC3 comp may be over-ruled, if you do the following...

   1.  Post an "appeal" on this thread giving your excuse for missing the deadline, and plead for mercy
   2.  If your plea wins the sympathy of 3 other entrants your disqualification from the next round will be overturned
        Your late votes will still not count though 
        (if less than 4 entrants in the comp, only 2 sympathetic "Thumbs Ups" are required)



And the entries are.........

1: Oompa Loompa Riot by Matthias

2: Overplayed by Red Ant

DKTOS? YouTube Video is here.

3: Ole! Another Bullfight by Kristof Robertson

4: Off To Crete by Tomario

5: One More OS (Left To Do) by the_conqueror_of_parodies

I haven't done the math yet, but I still want to give an early thanks for all those 1s and 2s (and Matthias, 4!) you guys are giving on O Santa Claus...this is one of the strangest parodies in my arsenal, and I am happy that folks are open-minded enough to appreciate it.  8)

It's still one of the most annoying/ worst original songs ever created by mankind, or in this instance, womankind
But you're welcome

I can barely listen to it myself. The repetitive "hahahahahaha" just racks my nerves (I can't listen to the pulsating music of Philip Glass or Steve Reich for much the same reason). I actually wrote O Santa Claus from a lyric sheet I got in my college arts apprecation course back in the 90s!

There was no doubt in my mind that yours would be the weiner, er, winner, Matthias! 8)

That parody was one of those singular classic moments, akin to a pitcher's proud no-hit baseball game.

Whoa, congrats Matthias! (long overdue)  and well done Kristof

I know (and apologise to those offended) that I pushed the boundaries with my little effort, so I'm very proud to take the silver!
