Apologies...not a good way to start.  I've been on vacation, and away from a computer since last Saturday, and obviously did not plan well.  I will vote this round

You can still submit if you get one in in the next few days. If not, I'm afraid I'll have to give you 0 points, and I really don't want to do that so try to get one in.

Here are my votes...

5 Points To: Below Average Dave
   - I'm simply amazed at this parody. This has to be the most epic parody you have ever done, easily no contest, I'd even go as far as saying one of the most epic songs on all of Amiright. To have it in the Decathlon among all the veterans we have here was a clever idea, and you're sure to win. It was so fast I couldn't even keep up with your parody as I played the song, so I had to read it, and wow... Just wow.... The fact that you also did the entire thing about being a Pool Boy, which was something I don't think I could write five lines about was also an achievement. Great job!

4 Points To: Kristof Robertson
     - Great topic my friend. I could actually see this done in a cartoon or comic strip with the salesman selling a toliet this grand. "Chatanooga Choo-Choo" looked like a very difficult song to parody was well, but to do it about a toliet was pure classic. What can I say other than great job, and hilarious song and topic, oh and send me one of these toliets!!!

3 Points To: Arwen
      - I thought that the connection between the mafia and swing was very clever. What you did for the mob was also nicely done, a Mafia Cleaning Crew... Beautiful. I know that the Godmother of the last Decathlon would barge in with tommy guns blasting bringing you to my top 3. Also a side note: Great work on a first performer, first song deal (Something I try to go for a lot. And introuducing me to this song which in my opinion was a great one.)

2 Points To: Stuart McArthur
        - There were two "Bye, Bye Blackbird"s this round, and yours was the funnier one. No offense Phil (I'm not to familer with disgusting meat products  ;)). As I said, at first I didn't think that this was going to be a Stuart Classic parody, but I was wrong. It was funny, and witty, and clever. The fact that you were selling nothing more than just a bird made this parody outstanding, because it kept my attention while being cute and witty. Good job here.

1 Point To: Agrimorfee
         - Very difficult song to pull off due to the rhyme scheme which is almost as bad as an Eminem song, while being swing. I also am big on off, because I love camping and Off! has saved me from getting attacked on many occasions. So props for the product, and props for the song.

Whooooaaaa! I'm here... I seriously thought the Wednesday deadline was Wednesday at midnight. (D'oh!) I'm too easy to confuse.
Thanks Matthias for still letting me vote.

speaking of which...

5 pts: Kristof-a-loo
4 pts: Arwen's a clean freak
3 pts: Dave's off the deep end
2 pts: Agri's bugging out
1 pt:  Conqueror's quickie meals

I don't think my votes should change the results too much. So congrats to Kristof, Dave and Arwen.
Again, thanks Matthias and I'm sorry for my confusion. :P

Wow! Thanks a bunch guys and elf-gal! Considering I was planning on skipping this comp (until I was smooth talked into it by Matty), this is a wonderful surprise. I honestly thought that at best I could end up bridesmaid to Dave's masterpiece...but I'm glad you're up in the medals, Dave, and I think you're going to be a force to be reckoned with.
And wow, what a strong first event! Starting with such a difficult genre, you guys really pulled it off, big style. Can't wait to see what happens over the next couple of months.....

Not a problem man, Your confusion is probably my bad parenting, or something Dr. Philly like that.  ;)
