http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_New_Wave_bands_and_artists

Topic: Animals And Nature
(The topics were chosen at random from Below Average Dave's parody website... Don't Blame Me!)


THE RULES

~~Entry URLs to be posted onto this thread from the Amiright site

~~Entries must conform to both the topic and genre specifications...if in doubt, ask.

~~On January 29th entries close and voting begins.

~~Vote by replying to voting thread with your five favorites in order:  
Top choice gets 5 points, next gets 4 points and so on to 1 point for your fifth favourite.

~~You're not allowed to vote for your own song.

~~Voting continues until the 12th of Feburary, 2010

~~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 deadline is disqualified and may not participate in the next event.

~~If you miss a submission deadline, you will not be entered in that event, but WILL be allowed to enter the next event.
However, there will STILL be an expectation that you comment and vote in the event you are not participating in, unless you have a valid reason for not being able to.

~Rule changes may be suggested by any participant in their entry post.  Changes are made only when a majority of that event's voters specify a "yes" vote along with their contest votes.

SCORING: Unlike PAOTY, scores for each Decathlon event are not cumulative. The winner of each event gets 9 Decathlon points, 2nd gets 8 and so on. This should make the contest very close throughout the next 20 weeks.
A Leaderboard will be posted after the first event

HAVE FUN!!!!!!

I would love to see somebody do a parody by "A Flock of Seagulls" about a flock of seagulls!  :D

After looking at the Wikipedia list for New Wave artists, it's gonna be a tough call between Tears for Fears and Split Enz. Hmm...

Sorry, but I'll need an extra day. I didn't think I'd be working at the soup kitchen today due to snow, but I am. I'll try to have mine up by Tuesday, so don't vote without me!

You know I'm fine with extensions seeing that I'm coming up blank as well... Gives extra days for anyone else who wants to enter as well.
