Subject: September SOTM RESULTS POSTED

Written By: Below Average Dave on 10/10/09 at 9:54 am

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, while all points will be forfeited, an entrant who has been disqualified may still participate next month if (s)he goes back and comments on all entrants from the month (s)he got disqualified prior to the end of the entry field (s)he is trying to get involved in.

~~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, no exceptions.

~~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'd like to start off by saying that I think this is the highest quality SOTM that I've seen for *ages* - IMO nearly all of these songs would have won or at least been in the top three of any of the recent contests.

Well, thanks very much, guys and gals, for making this a real bugger of a choice..

5 points -#8. Bloody Sick of Twilight by The Conqueror of Parodies
4 points -#3. Great Idea for a Song (111th Congress Version) by Medemia
3 points -#12. Hey There Godiva by Chris Frederick
2 points -#5. I Might be a Redneck by Matthias
1 point  -#10. Hobbit by 2nz

Finding it hard to believe Peter's gawking girls and Arwen's beauty queen didn't fit in there.. let alone Jeff's brother - I thought on reading them they'd be in contention for the top spot, yet there seemed to be so many top-notch parodies this month.

Very well done, everyone :-)

Karamel for you as well!

Speaking of which, does anyone know what's with the 'fudge' right next to the 'karamel'? And why I can give myself fudge, but not karamel? I is confused.

Hey guys...I promise promise promise that I'll get my votes in tonight.  This is what i get for putting it off, I know... :-[

It will probably be after midnight, my time...but I'll absolutely get them in.

So sorry!  I'll vote super early next month.  :)

Happy Halloween!

Conqueror: "Fudge" is basically negative karamel. Give it to someone you dislike! However, I dislike no one here, so I won't be using it. It used to be "smite" but that got removed a while back. Now, it's back as fudge.

Okay, so I decided to post the results myself.. I have all the math figured out, except for one single variable - Max Power's 3 point vote... I have no ideaas to which song his 3 point 'Mafia Redneck' vote goes to, but I'm going to assume that it's Matthias' parody, since it's the only parody with redneck in the title.

If you have any corrections, please post them.  :)

So my makeshift results are...

1st: Bloody Sick of Twilight by The Conqueror of Parodies (30 Pts)
2nd: My Brother Done Rode a Sheep by Jeff Reuben (26 Pts)
3rd: Girls Gawk (At my Hiney) by Peter Andersson (23 Pts)
4th: A Farewell to the Bush Administration by Phil Alexander (21 Pts)
5th: Summer's Second Swelter by Mark Scotti (17 Pts)
6th (tie): I Might be a Redneck by Matthias (12 Pts)
6th (tie): Yikes How I Feel Flattened by Guy DiRito (12 Pts)
8th (tie): Hobbit by 2nz (10 Pts)
8th (tie): Hey There Godiva by Chris Frederick (10 Pts)
10th (tie): Trailer Park Beauty Queen by Arwen (8 Pts)
10th (tie): Chicken to Fry by DJ Blaze (8 Pts)
12th (tie): Great Idea for a Song (111th Congress Version) by Medemia (7 Pts)
12th (tie): I Love College (Genius Edit) by Silver Power (7 Pts)
14th: Gumdrops Stop Fallin' On My Bed by Max Power (1 Pt)







Wrap-up:

Ties are in style this month, Peter's hiney was extremely noticeable, and a we liked it, Jeff's song of his brother's encounter with bestiality was a hit this month as well, and it seems that the Conqueror of Parodies has, indeed, conquered parodies.

Corrections made in bold (I've been keeping track since the other day, including who voted). And yes, Max has a habit of calling Matthias 'Mafia' for reasons unknown (and now I've got 'For Reasons Unknown' by The Killers stuck in my head).

In other news, HOLY CRAPBALLS FIRST SOTM GOLD OMGWTFBBQ. Now that that's outta my system, congrats to Jeff and Pete for getting silver and bronze (respectively) and to Mark for getting the FUCA! And there was much rejoicing.

While the 2nd round of Decathlon was pretty worthless it helped Conqueror earn Gold so it wasn't a complete waste.  ;)

Congrats to Coffinbuster Of Parodies and JR Eweing for the top medals, and to Mark for being a repeat FUCA. As for my bronze I didn't even realize I was in the race for it until I saw the results, guess I came strong towards the rock hard end, he-he.  ;)

I'll go fix the FUCA thread now, and if no-one else have started the next sign up thread by the time I'm done I'll do that too.
