Subject: SOTY 2012 Voting Thread -- Results Posted!

Written By: jreuben on 02/03/12 at 8:58 am

Like last year, please vote for your ten favorite parodies in order 1st to last or last to first, but clearly label you top and bottom choices

The top three songs for each month are eligible for song of the year.  In the event of a tie for 3rd place, I have placed both songs in the competition.

All voters will earn ten points towards each song they have entered in the competition

While voting is optional and carries no penalty in the SOTM contest, a person who does not vote cannot earn a podium spot, and if they do point wise will automatically be shifted to the highest non-podium spot.

Deadline is February 29th.  Good luck!  And please let me know of any problems with the links.

In the grand tradition of extending deadlines, I'm extending the deadline for SOTY voting for a week until March 7th.  Since we only have two people voting so far.

Unlike SOTM, It's not a requirement for SOTY, because of the sheer number of songs.  People definitely don't need to comment again if comments were made earlier in the year.  I actually commented on yours back when it came out.

Hey, what's up here? I understand that many people want to weigh in and vote and I also understand first-hand how busy we all can get and how things can slide. But I'm excited to see the final results, frankly, so if anyone still hasn't voted and wants to, either make the choice and find time before the day ends, or just make it known to Jeff that you couldn't find the time. No harm, no fowl. Please, please? :cD

Well done, Christie! Great parody for SOTY! You mopped the floor with my grease stains from semi-warm leftovers, BAM! I wish I could fit into tighter jeans and play accordion. I'd never give that up. I'd never let that down.

Thanks for counting everything up Jeff. And congratulations to you too on 3rd place.

Here's to another strong year in SOTM. I hope I continue to have parody ideas so I don't flake out in a month or two like I've been doing for the past several years. Thanks for the kind words and the podium place for my song everyone :cD

Thanks to all of you who voted for my Rick Rolling Pie Thief!
