Shoot..."Runnin' Down A Dream" was released in 1989, so I can't submit "Trudgin' Through The Park."

Dang, I thought I could have a free round for once!

Ah, crap...and I don't even like sports!

Wait...does it have to be sports? Or can it be game in general? 'Cause I have an idea for turning 'Thriller' into 'Billiards' (and Wikipedia lists Billiards under 'Table Sports').

I'm sorry guys, I didn't realize this was for a specific group of writers.  Just saw the rules at the top of the thread and came up with a song.

I can't replace Red Ant or Ethan, but I'll do my best.  I promise to give a prorated amount of any awards or accolades received at the end to them.

As far as a date, Storm doesn't talk to me anymore once she found out I cheated on her with Mystique.

I didn't realize Mystique was into hairy dudes. . .but that's cool. . .Hey Matthias, if you really want to meet with Storm, following the road of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, she's big in America's Next Top Model, all you have to do is get on the show, and Storm will be right there waiting for ya!

I've got an 8 minute song, "I've Been Everywhere", and a song I've never heard of, PLUS I've got a rock opera underway!

Still, it's nice knowing someone else is suffering as well ;D.

I haven't gotten ANY ideas...hopefully once I know when it's due, the panic-triggered muse will come to me.

Yeah, I realized that pretty much the second after I posted it.  :-\\

Well then, since nothing came up, I've decided to abstain from this round. I'll still write parodies for the remainder of Ages, and I'll still vote for this round...but I just couldn't come up with anything. I'm really sorry guys, I've had an insane schedule lately!

Cat,

I can't speak for everyone else, but you're absence won't go un-noticed. . .I would say maybe to throw something together for this round, but then--I think you take the same approach I do--if it's not my best I don't enter it. . .but I'll see you in the next round.
