---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Artistry Rules For Newcomers:
- If one wishes to enter (entry in all rounds is not compulsory), entry must be written (or selected from back catalog) within two weeks of the posting of the entry thread
- Voting runs during the same two-week period as the next entry thread, so organise your time wisely
- All participants must comment on all entrants and vote by the deadline.  Failure to vote will forfeit all points from that round, but it won't disqualify you from participating in the next round
- Voting will take place by replying to the appropriate voting thread
- If a person withdraws from an Artistry Round prior to the end of a round, all entrants who voted for that person's entry will be permitted to pick one new song to earn a bonus point, all other songs will be realigned accordingly.  There will be no penalty on those who don't change their vote.
- Once a vote is posted, it cannot be changed UNLESS rule 3 applies OR there was a double-vote by accident.
- Late entries will be accepted until the 1st vote has been posted.
- The deadline is a strict deadline, the moment the date has reached the day after the deadline, no votes will count, this is to reduce last minute voting, or sympathy/favoritism towards different entrants.

Coming soon: a parody of "Business Time".


That's all I got so far. Seriously though, good luck with this round, guys. These guys are very unorthodox when it comes to music, and that's once you get past the fact that parodying a comedy band is a recipe for pure awkwardness.

Yeah I recall the Weird Al round was problematic in Artistry 1, and so was Zappa more recently.  I have heard both of their albums and I can't think of any ONE song that I could outfunny--and they are fiendishly complex tunes. :o

Ugh, I was dreading this round. Not just because it's a comedy band round...but because I don't particularly care for this comedy band. But anyway, I was able to come up with an idea to submit.

To each one's own. I for one happen to love Flight of the Conchords but working with artists we don't care for is all part of the fun of Artistry because I recall the fun we had with Suzi Quatro and Skyhooks and King Crimson as long as I never have to parody another effing Gordan Lightfoot song!
