I don't see Monk here at the moment, so I'll post the thread and he can kick off the contest with a reply.

Song: “Don't Throw That Bat At Me”
Subject: Mike Piazza
A Parody Of: [url=http://www.cancerrecords.com/Stand.mp3]“Don't Stand So Close to Me” by The Police[/url]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Game Two is the subject
Of media frenzy
My showdown with Roger
Is what they want to see
Inside now he's throwing
Two strikes, I have to swing
His fastball is so close now
It shreds my bat from me

Don't throw, don't throw that
Don't throw that bat at me
Don't throw, don't throw that
Don't throw that bat at me

The barrel comes flying
Thrown by a hot Rocket
I yell out, "What's your problem?"
No answer do I get
Confusion, the players
Off of the benches fly
The game stops with tension
What is it with this guy?

Don't throw, don't throw that
Don't throw that bat at me
Don't throw, don't throw that
Don't throw that bat at me

Fans talk in the grandstand
To guess they try and try
Headlines at the newsstand
A city asking, "Why?"
The excuse that's given
The strangest part of all
The Rocket proclaimed that
He thought it was the ball?!?

Don't throw, don't throw that
Don't throw that bat at me
Don't throw, don't throw that
Don't throw that bat at me

Please don't throw that bat at me
Please don't throw that bat at me
Please don't throw that bat at me
Please don't throw that bat at me

START ME TONITE
by Aaron Heilman & the Pink T-shirts

I’m startin’ tonite – you better beware
Gonna shut down the Marlins – even Juan Pierre
If you’re watchin’ tonite – here’s what you’ll see:
The filthiest stuff in the National League
(Yeah)

(You’re lookin’ all right)... I’m throwin’ with style
Three up and three down and I’m not too wild
(Cold night) – Hey, that cannot stop me
I came up from the minors, wanna make this team

Changeup to a lefty, like a fastball to his eyes
Freeze him a moment – leaves ‘em paralyzed
Luis Castillo, infield single in the fourth
But I ain’t givin’ up no more henceforth

Take me from the farm - Yo give me a try
Take it from my arm - start me tonite!

(You did all right) – Why thank you, Willie
If Benson comes back he won’t unseat me
(That’s not right) – I’m being denied?
Throw a one-hitter and get tossed aside...

So you’re askin’ me now -
To go down, down with the bullpen crowd
(If it’s all right) – Hey, that’s all right by me
I’ll do some mop-up and be back, you’ll see

Bullpen ain’t easy – but I’ll try to pass the time
Chewing seeds with Braden Looper and the guys
Why waste my talent when you’re stuck with Kaz Ishii?
Come and take me where I long to be

Take me to the park - go give me a try
Take it from my arm - start me tonite!

Take me from the cart- it’s not right (it’s not right)
Take it from my arm - start me tonite!

In winter ball... and in springtime
I started and I did just fine
But who gets sent to bullpen work but me ... yeah
Every night I see these clowns
Like Lima up and Soler down
They had a chance while I wasted away…

C’mon Willie!
Take me to the park – yo give me a try
Take it from my arm - start me tonite!
Take it from my arm– it’s not right
Take me from the cart–
Start me!
Start, start, start and blow me!

I'm the only vote for the Shot so far.

I vote for the one I'd most like to see peformed. "Start Me Tonight" is that song, by gum.

Feb 26 2007 08:23 AM

I fucked up and voted the Monkey Man instead of JD. Can The Powers That Be fix that?

Of course I'm a Police guy (going to the Fenway show in August!) but how can I not vote for my best friend Billy Squier?

I think we'll have to mentally recalculate your vote at the end of the day.

Mentally, the score is now 3-2, rather than 4-1.

I don't know if vote-changing should be kosher. The old ladies in Palm Beach weren't allowed to switch their mis-votes for Buchanan.

Changing would be allowed only if one of the parodies was of a Chad and Jeremy song.

I just tied it at 7. Oh, the drama. And it wasn't an easy choice.

Or is it tied?

If we're doing the controversial "mental adjustment" then Johnny leads 13 to 11.

soupcan
Feb 27 2007 07:37 AM

I didn't want to say because I'm reluctant to attract attention to my now seemingly huge gaffe, but again, my vote was given to the Monkey Man in error.

Sorry Monkey, all due respect and whatnot but I meant to click on JD's button.

sharpie
Feb 27 2007 07:55 AM

I don't think the mental adjustment is permissible. I've certainly voted one way in some of these contests and then later thought I should have voted the other way. To open this up to that would lead to anarchy. Anarchy, I say!

soupcan
Feb 27 2007 07:57 AM

Whatever.

Feb 27 2007 08:41 AM

In the interest of nipping any further controversy in the bud...I hereby concede this competition to the honorable Mr. Dickshot.

Soupcan did admit his error very early in the voting and while the votes have been close over the past day, Johnny D. has almost always had a slight lead with the adjustment.

As it stands now, I would need 3 votes to win and 2 to tie...and after 5 parodies, the thought of writing another for a tiebreaker turns my stomach.

But most of all, honestly, had I not been the author of my parody, I would have voted for Johnny's hands down.

Well done JD, congratulations!

But I would have voted TM instead of JD if I'd known that SC's vote would have been switched!

Kong76
Feb 27 2007 08:58 AM

I voted for TM, but I was hoping he'd move the erroneous vote. Gracious in
defeat. I really like TM's song, yesterday I was picturing Piazza behind a
drumset with headphones and a head mic on singing backround Pleeeeeze
Donnnnnt Throwwwww That Baaaat at Meeeeee with a goofy look on his face.

We fully expect the Police reunion tour to be a quartet as a result.
