Subject: July SOTM Voting!!!

Written By: Matthias on 08/10/07 at 7:32 pm

Note to new participants: Welcome, and good luck. Please read all guidelines carefully. Especially, please make sure to read all the entries and vote by the end of the month. The SOTM is not so much a contest as a feedback exchange. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, either in this thread or via personal message. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

This is my 2nd month as host. . .thank you for continuing to allow me to host the prestigeous contest.

~~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.

~~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 last day of the month ends.

~~Anyone who's participated in a SOTM contest may vote.

~~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 end of the month is disqualified and may not participate next month.

~~In the event of a tie, the parody with the most first place votes wins.
If it's still tied, the parody with the most second place votes wins.
If it's still tied, a brief playoff round will be held.
All participants will have the first week of the month to choose one favorite from among the tied entries.
Tiebreaker voting is strongly encouraged but not required. On the eighth day the one with the most votes wins.

~~Any entrant whose votes don't show a timestamp prior to midnight on the last day of the month (ie. according to the "inthe00's meantime" clock as it appears BEFORE you log in - not a timezone corrected version) is disqualified, without exception.

(I wish somebody would have done this for me, since I was on vacation, and now it's 3 days late..... Garrrr! It's hard to find good help anymore)

This month might IMHO have been the closest we've had to a photo finish, I had eight parodies lined up and a headache building up from telling them apart from each other at all and that's why it took a week from finishing commenting before I managed to decide on the following list.

1 point to "Goin' Out of Business"

2 points to "Won't You Make It Snow"

3 points to "Very Very Sensible"

4 points to "Your Mom"

5 points to "Medication Now"

2 pts Matthias the death Eater
1 pt Red Ant's Friends in Strange Places

Believe it or not, there is only 2 Honorable Mention for me this time. . .
Agrimorfee--Amazing feat taking on Desolation Row, but maybe it's just that OS, it drags on and on nauseatingly and even though I love the idea, and I did get into it. . .and to Phil Alexander same thing. . .I hope you guys don't get too mad at me for that, but I just get lost in that song . . .and it was hard for me to get into the humor. . .buit I thought both were paced wonderfully, and it pained me, but I had to be honest and give the points to the ones that made me laugh the most.  .  .

That Said,

5th, Wannabemustangjockey (1 Point) While in honesty I think I found the song a bit on the sad side, and I do stand by my opinion of Verse 2, the first and third verse were fantastic and the concept was so unique from you that I ended up putting it in my top 5.

4th, Stu McArthur (2 Points) This was a sensible decision, based on research and knowledge of the OS:)  Actually the darn Scissor Line really stuck in my head. . .scissorable . .nothin' like making up words to add to humor. . .

3rd, Matthias (3 Points) I am not a huge fan of Harry Potter, but know quite a bit about it from my family in St. Louis (my little brother is obsessed with it) . . .The main thing that kicked this one into 3rd was the sheer brilliance of turning a happy bouncy broad-way performance into a Dark Dreary Comedy. . .Not an easy thing to do, though you probably would have gotten my 5 points if you had parodied the spoken parts (for me, if I parody a performance (IE Poor Unfortunate Souls), I have to parody the spoken parts that take place during the song to make it work right). . .

2nd Kristof Robertson (4 Points) I hope this story never becomes my Mother's story. . .honestly this one was hilarious and to "Your Song" I just couldn't stop laughing start to finish. . .in most months this would have probably won my 5 points, however. . .

1st Red Ant (5 Points) This one made me laugh even harder. . .I was here when you first came up with the idea, though the original lyrics never would have made it onto AmIRight, the "clean" version (if you can call it that:)-Don't Ask Jonathan S) loses very little if any humor. . .the nuts in Cryogentic Stages really put this one over the top--even more so than when you did it improtu in my 'studio'
