No Time, Like The Right Time... Song Parody 2020??

Batmags, the ball is in your court for a few days to czar this again. If he can't get rollin' by the weekend, maybe someone else can czar in? (edited for clarity)

Let's see how many contestants we have. I never imagined I'd ever be doing this again, but here we are going. I still have the world-class song parody rankings from the last two tournaments, including the Crane Pool to Liverpool Special. If I remember, and I do, TransMonk is the world's #1 ranked song parodyist on this forum and G-FAFIF is in second place. Those rankings are based on my top-secret proprietary rankings formula, which will have to be adjusted to account for the scumbag now in the White House and whose administration has severely cut our funding.

We never finished the last one, IIRC. But oh... I'm in.

Oh, we did. I still get letters from people furious that I went to the finals last time out with a little-known song. I was Monk'd.



I suspect most of those people are chronic gamblers, but still.



Oh, yeah. I'm in too.

I totally must have blocked that out, for ego integrity. Ooh, now I'm DEFINITELY in. FOR VALENTIN!

You'll need someone to knock off easily in the early rounds, so count me in.

Sorry. Not this time, unless you need someone to round out a bracket. Later

Sorry. Not this time, unless you need someone to round out a bracket. Thanks. But I'll be able to organize this tournament no matter how many contestants. But much appreciated. And now ... some updates. First, let's give a big round of applause to our tournament sponsor ... MeTV. [FIMG=666]https://www.broadcastingcable.com/.image/t_share/MTY2MTQ1OTM5MDg0NDg2Mjg2/me-tv-logo_resized_bc.jpg[/FIMG] MeTV is the finest classic TV cable station in the land. And they've got the best first three call letters in the business, to boot. And when you combine the Mets and TV, you get MeTV. And that's gonna be the running theme of our 2020 song parody contest: the Mets and television. So bone up. We'll have more details real soon. [FIMG=555]https://metvcdn.metv.com/3qH6o-1503597565-metv-tune-in-tips.jpg[/FIMG] But here's a few teasers: The 2020 MeTV Special will be a single elimination bracket style tournament, like the NCAA basketball tournament. And we're going blind. Anonymous. Nobody's gonna know the identities of youse contestants besides me, until it's all over and our 2020 champion is crowned. [FIMG=555]https://assets.change.org/photos/8/rq/ic/LzrqIcgsUEpRxRa-800x450-noPad.jpg?1552253087[/FIMG] There's still time to sign up and win this tournament and have your name engraved, for all eternity, on the Song Parody Champions Cup which, as youse may recall, is a giant size facsimile exact reproduction of the glass drinking cup served up at Ron Swoboda's old Long Island restaurant. But please sign up, if you haven't already, by this Monday, April 14, 2020, no later than 11:59PM.

We've done it in the past where entries are submitted anonymously, and while it does control against favoritism, it keeps recorded performances out. So, keep recording. We'll have a listening party in the end.

Moved and bumped with just hours to go to sign up...
