Subject: SOTM September 2008 RESULTS POSTED

Written By: Below Average Dave on 10/08/08 at 11:30 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.

~~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. and so on
If the points total and votes are identical, it will be left as a legitimate tie

~~Any entrant whose votes don't show a time stamp 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.

~~A medal known as the FUCA shall be awarded to the highest ranking parody which did not make the month's podium and is of an original song which has not previously earned any medal

I hate choosing. There are no lifelines. OK, final answer:

5 points: #2. 'Wanna Be Fighting Someone' by Matthias <- it made me wanna fight someone

4 points: #9. Soccer Mom by Peter Andersson <- it made me want your soccer mom, in her Volvo

3 points: #5. Unda Da See by Guy DiRito <- it won me over, which is hard with all the versions of this OS I've seen

2 points: #1. Dearly Departed by Agrimorfee <- it covered me in ectoplasm just in time for Halloween

1 point: #6. 'Competition (Rivals Forever)' by The Conqueror of Parodies <- it reached me, in a way that no parody has for quite some time. Also, it is about, and IN, a competition


MHs:    'Hey There Ms Palin' by Invisible Boy and 'Publicise Her' by Luke Brattoni <- two very well-written parodies by two very talented authors.


It's good to be back. And it's good to see those I already know again, as well as to appreciate the work of newer authors to the site. I look forward to being more involved on the site and in the community in the next few months.

5 points to Jake A Ralphing (Luke Brattoni) for his searing spearing of "Womanizer".
4 points to Guy DiRito for indulging us in a ritely popeular original song (and that's the end of the puns, I promise.)
3 points to 2nz (Glen Salamiburger) for not using no double negatives.
2 points to Gianni Parmesiani for reminding me to stay in school.
1 point to Invisible Boy for a supreme one-uppance in political humor.

-10,000 points to Matthias for making me watch the Michael Jackson YouTube montage.  ;)

;D I had a great time reading and commenting on all of these (I may not have identified all of my comments as "SOTM", but I did comment on all).  So, here's my opinion, for all it's worth:

5 points for the biting Werewolves parody

4 points for the unholy Unda Da See

3 points for the kicking Wanna be Fighting

2 points for the not-really-any-better-than-mine Competition

1 point for the hairsuit Flaked Up

;) See you around the site!

My heartfelt thanks go out to all of you for finding me worthy of my very first SOTM win.  Matt - You made an excellent run with 28 points - congrats to you and Luke for your podium placings.  I think IB said it all when he said more than 5 belong in the top 5.  This was indeed an exceptional round. This was top notch writing by all entrants.

Wow! This has to be a first for Guy so I extend a holy hand, and as for Luke you made your way back here with a bang! And a flash of the paparazzi camera.

As for me, this is my first 2nd place trophy so thanks to all of you who made this possible, this year alone has been exceptional for me with 2 3rd place trophies and my first 2nd place trophy it really makes me happy to be a part of this community with all of you, and it's a great feeling to be among the best (If only in some months).

Thank all of you.

Congrats to the Guy under the cross, WWF Matthias and Luke Starstalker, who has a very interresting breakdown for a bronze medal parody with more first AND second place votes than the silver and gold winning parodies - may I suggest you celebrate by listening to the Uriah Heep song "Love or Nothing"!

Well played everyone. Deserved congratulations to Guy, Matt, and Luke. I agree with the general concensus that this was a very strong month. See you next month. And thanks for the FUCA award (I'm guessing pronunciation of that award is sometimes an issue ;c)).

Well done everyone; fun to get back into the ol' swing of things.
And yes, I guess mine was one of those 'love it or hate it' entries. Lady Sovereign would be proud.
Congrats to Guy and Matthias!

Great round, everyone.  Here's to several more gut-wrenchingly, top-fivingly-compromisingly difficult months.

Extra chocolate sprinkles to Guy, Matt, and Luke.
