If I Needed Elster If I need a guy who's all glove You're the guy that I'd be thinking of An all-glove, no-bat someone If the HoJo dream's a dead end. Then I'll a try an Elster-HoJo blend A two-head, shorstop someone [list]Yeah he's got some Sunday power But he hits two-twenty-six All his value's wrapped up in his glove[/list:u] Is your number two, fifteen, Or twenty-one? What does it mean to me? Just don't allow an earned run Ahhhh..., ahhh.... If you leave and sign elsewhere It best be somewhere with thin air, I think If you want a homerun [list]Had your bat been like your defense Then it might not have been like this But you see you're tagged "no bat, good glove"[/list:u] Twenty-four homeruns in Texas Fame, success, and wealth and sex, I see And deep steroid suspicion Ahhhh..., ahhh....

Oh you still hate me (you hate Rick Reed) You still hate me (you hate Rick Reed) Time after time You cut water to the shower I wouldn't mind But my hair was full of lather I’ve a schlubby look That people like And you’d like me too ‘Cept for the strike Yes, it seems so wrong To diss me for so long Guess I’ll just go on While you still hate me ((You hate Rick Reed) You still hate me (you hate Rick Reed) [youtube]mfMC-0FQEno[/youtube]

Zvon Mar 23 2014 11:35 PM Re: Liver/Crane: I'm Not Half the Contest I Used to Be

All great but Tagged Together was a brilliant play. oe:shit, i only voted for one :( Now its closed to me.:(:(

Mets Guy in Michigan Mar 24 2014 04:11 AM Re: Liver/Crane: I'm Not Half the Contest I Used to Be

Brilliant all the way around! I went with "Tagged Together," which made me laugh out lough the whole way through.

themetfairy Mar 24 2014 06:05 AM Re: Liver/Crane: I'm Not Half the Contest I Used to Be

Great work! I chose Tagged Together and You Still Hate Me as the standout selections, but all were well done under difficult constraints.

bmfc1 Mar 24 2014 06:55 AM Re: Liver/Crane: I'm Not Half the Contest I Used to Be

Extra points for "degree of difficulty" to the Hebner selection as it encompasses two distinct melodies.

Edgy MD Mar 24 2014 07:48 AM Re: Liver/Crane: I'm Not Half the Contest I Used to Be

I was a little leery as it stretched the rules a bit. Some moxie in doing so, though. Maybe somebody should have tried to do all of side two of Abbey Road as a single parody.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 24 2014 07:53 AM Re: Liver/Crane: I'm Not Half the Contest I Used to Be

Went with Hebner (degree of difficulty), Stork (Hi!) and You Still Hate Me (I'm picturing the delicate ooooooo-la-la-la backing the "Ex-Lax up my food" line)

Edgy MD Mar 24 2014 07:57 AM Re: Liver/Crane: I'm Not Half the Contest I Used to Be

You still have a vote!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 24 2014 08:20 AM Re: Liver/Crane: I'm Not Half the Contest I Used to Be

oh yeah, also went with that shitty Paul LoDuca one.

d'Kong76 Mar 24 2014 02:06 PM Re: Liver/Crane: I'm Not Half the Contest I Used to Be

Is the voting working? I voted for four songs and every time I look at the post up top it still shows that I have to click on submit. Past polls, if I recall correctly, looked different after voting when logged on.

Zvon Mar 24 2014 07:04 PM Re: Liver/Crane: I'm Not Half the Contest I Used to Be

Yea, it might be messed up. I see submit again as well. Not sure if my second one went thru yesterday but I did pick and vote. Same selections are picked. If I hit submit today no change.

batmagadanleadoff Mar 25 2014 10:38 AM Re: Liver/Crane: I'm Not Half the Contest I Used to Be

Tough to vote here, as I see it. I haven't been casting votes in these contests because the submissions are anonymous and as moderator, I know the secret identities of the contestants. But I'd have a tough time deciding which two parodies not to vote for. They all have their charms and I don't see how, so far, the top song could have garnered three times as many votes as the bottom vote-getters. And this isn't any sort of criticism of the top vote-getter, but rather, my way of saying that the bottom vote-getters are pretty good, too.
