It's on!
Here are your subjects for the play-in round: A Boy Named Seo vs themetfairy -- Tim McCarver Fman99 vs G-Fafif -- Mike Maddux The rules are simple. There's your topic; use a song, any song, and Metify the lyrics. (Perhaps someone has the link to some of the old contests?) Once both players are ready to go -- discuss via PM or via this thread -- either person starts a new "poll" thread and posts their song lyrics. The other person should follow in post two in the thread. Discussion ensues for 24-48 hours (depending on weekends), and whoever wins, wins. Ties will be determined by a playoff round. Did I forget anything? I hope not. Let's get it on! Let's try to get the play-in rounds done by the end of the weekend so we can kick it into the first round.

Mike Maddux???
|
| seawolf17 Jan 09 2008 12:06 PM |
|
Hey, random's random. Gotta bring it, fellas.
|
| Edgy DC Jan 09 2008 12:07 PM |
|
Don't give them Tim McCarver ideas!
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 09 2008 12:08 PM |
|
Yeah, that's why I argued to limit topix to the parodiable.
|
| seawolf17 Jan 09 2008 12:09 PM |
|
We'll see how it goes; we can always tweak it back for '09.
|
| Edgy DC Jan 09 2008 12:12 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jan 09 2008 12:15 PM |
|
I've got three Maddux parodies bouncing around my head right now.
|
| seawolf17 Jan 09 2008 12:14 PM |
|
I pulled next round's numbers, and it's an interesting mix of "okay" and "uh-oh".
|
| Edgy DC Jan 09 2008 12:16 PM |
|
Don't listen to Dickshot. His greatest parody ever was for Tom Sturdivant.
|
| seawolf17 Jan 09 2008 12:17 PM |
|
No, coaches are in there, but to make it simpler, we'll allow any coach who was also a player only one slot on the list.
|
| seawolf17 Jan 09 2008 12:21 PM |
|
Ah, screw it, I posted the polls. I'll do that so they're easy to find, and I'll sticky them as well until each contest is over.
|
| Edgy DC Jan 09 2008 12:22 PM |
|
Yikey. I look forward to the final round of locking horns over Greg Pavlick.
|
| seawolf17 Jan 09 2008 12:23 PM |
|
Should I post them all the way through? I suppose that would give folks the opportunity to prepare a little bit, especially those folks who are awaiting their first round matches.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Jan 09 2008 12:24 PM |
|
I think that makes sense. In the past, we were always able to mull over future songs because we had names on our list.
|
| Edgy DC Jan 09 2008 12:25 PM |
|
I think you should turn the draw over to a non-combatant.
|
| Edgy DC Jan 09 2008 12:27 PM |
|
By the way, why not bump this action to the main forum?
|
| sharpie Jan 09 2008 12:30 PM |
|
I agree with Edgy both that draws should be given to a non-combatant and that these should be on the main page.
|
| seawolf17 Jan 09 2008 12:32 PM |
|
I'll post all the matchups over the "vs" the rest of the way. Should I move all the threads to the Baseball forum?
|
| Edgy DC Jan 09 2008 12:32 PM |
|
Move 'em.
|
| themetfairy Jan 09 2008 12:38 PM |
|
What's our time frame here? FYI, I'll be out of town Friday-Saturday, and won't have much time to write this weekend. Should I try to have something good to go by tomorrow, or should we wait until Monday?
|
| seawolf17 Jan 09 2008 12:42 PM |
|
Moved, and updated to include all the matchups.
|
| Willets Point Jan 09 2008 12:43 PM Re: 2008 CPF Song Parody Contest Official Tournament Thread |
|
|
Me. I feel like Dennis Kucinich or Ron Paul at a FOX News debate. Perhaps I can get an invite to the NIT Parody Tournament instead.
|
| seawolf17 Jan 09 2008 12:43 PM |
|
Ah, crap.
|
| metirish Jan 09 2008 12:44 PM |
|
Best of luck to all, I've always enjoyed this contest.
|
| Willets Point Jan 09 2008 12:46 PM |
|
|
No worries, I'm busy with babykins anyhow.
|
| seawolf17 Jan 09 2008 12:50 PM |
|
Are you sure? Don't know how I missed you. I'll give you priority seeding in '09.
|
| Fman99 Jan 09 2008 02:48 PM |
|
Sweet.
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 09 2008 02:55 PM |
|
The voting public generally demands this but to me it's always more fun to see if I can't pick it up myself.
|
| seawolf17 Jan 09 2008 05:16 PM |
|
I, personally, like to see a link to some sort of audio and/or video, because I like to try to sing along. But I can't speak for everyone.
|
| metsmarathon Jan 09 2008 06:43 PM |
|
linking to youtube is a good idea. it adds both an audio and a visual component to the song. it might not help garner votes, but it'll make the voting process more enjoyable.
|
| metsmarathon Jan 09 2008 06:44 PM |
|
also, if my opening round matchup can begin some time after monday, that'd be just super-duper cool, as i will be busy running 42.4 miles in three races this weekend. thanks!
|
| Kong76 Jan 09 2008 06:52 PM |

EDC: >>>I am not cool with being seeded behind KC. Not<<<
|
| Rockin' Doc Jan 09 2008 07:23 PM |
|
I must say that I now find the annual Parody contest is more enjoyable as an observer than as a participant. It's a lot less time consuming and stressful just being a voter.
|
| themetfairy Jan 09 2008 07:23 PM |
|
|
Disney?
|
| AG/DC Jan 09 2008 08:27 PM |
|
I hadn't realized the topics were all up there. Doc Edwards is the matchup to watch. Mercy.
|
| Gwreck Jan 09 2008 08:38 PM |
|
Willets can totally have my spot -- I didn't realize that I had even signed up! -- if he wants. (If he doesn't, no worries, I'll still play to win).
|
| metsmarathon Jan 09 2008 09:35 PM |
||
|
yup! packing tonight...
|
| Nymr83 Jan 09 2008 11:28 PM |
|
i'm backing out, i thought we were going with the whole "general topic" idea instead of more of the same (obscure players that i have nothing to say about). enjoy.
|
| themetfairy Jan 10 2008 04:38 AM |
|||
|
Excellent - best of luck to you and mrs. m!
|
| Willets Point Jan 10 2008 06:23 AM |
|
Looks like there are two vacancies to fill. Since NYMR is more adamant about cutting and running than Gwreck, I'll be happy to take his spot.
|
| seawolf17 Jan 10 2008 07:16 AM |
|
Done. Willets is in.
|
| Willets Point Jan 10 2008 08:05 AM |
|
Now I need to figure out words that rhyme with Mientkiewicz or even how to fit Mientkiewicz into the meter of a song.
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 11 2008 01:59 PM |
|
FMan, I know you're partying hard after the victory but whenever you're ready to brawl starting Monday I'll go.
|
| Willets Point Jan 11 2008 02:31 PM |
|
When does the first round begin?
|
| seawolf17 Jan 11 2008 06:05 PM |
|
Monday Monday Monday. Let's try to get the whole first round done next week.
|
| themetfairy Jan 11 2008 07:15 PM |
|
Seo and I will be ready to go Monday morning. And, if successful, I'd be ready for Round 1 by Wednesday at the latest.
|
| Fman99 Jan 11 2008 09:54 PM |
|
|
I should have dried out by then. Good luck.
|
| sharpie Jan 14 2008 08:33 AM |
|
The sharpie-Valadius clash will happen Wednesday.
|
| seawolf17 Jan 14 2008 11:37 AM |
|
I'm ready when Willets is ready. I'll post all the matchup threads this afternoon.
|
| AG/DC Jan 14 2008 11:39 AM |
|
I guess I better Pratt something together.
|
| Nymr83 Jan 15 2008 06:25 AM |
|
request: don't post in someone's thread until theres a song up
|
| Rockin' Doc Jan 15 2008 07:12 PM |
|
Good voter turn out in the early contests. 27 votes in the two play in rounds. I didn't know we had 27 regularly active members.
|
| holychicken Jan 16 2008 05:56 AM |
|
I sent a PM to OO about our first round but have not heard back from him yet. I won't have my song done until tomorrow, but I won't post until he is ready either.
|
| seawolf17 Jan 16 2008 07:00 AM |
|
Cool. Thanks for the update. OO, where are yOO?
|
| A Boy Named Seo Jan 16 2008 08:44 AM |
|
I'm off for a long weekend in Las Vegas tomorrow. I think I've got a Baez worked out. Monk, let me know if you're ready by tomorrow and we can kick it off, or I can just do it when I get back (Monday-ish).
|
| Centerfield Jan 16 2008 10:54 AM |
|
The contest has been great. Every year, before the contest I think that it might have run its course, then when it starts we get hit with a barrage of great parodies.
|
| Edgy DC Jan 16 2008 11:12 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jan 16 2008 08:00 PM |
|
You ever go shopping at holiday time, and you're a little overwhelmed, but you think you found something appropriate for your brother? You get in line, thinking, "Oh, well, at least I found something appropriate for my brother. That's cool. At least I got that out of the way."
|
| TransMonk Jan 16 2008 03:43 PM |
|
|
I'll be ready for tomorrow. If we don't have a thread by then, we'll have to make one. I can post mine once I get to work (about 9am EST, 6am Pacific).
|
| A Boy Named Seo Jan 16 2008 04:09 PM |
|
Word. I won't pop on til 9am or so CA time, so I'll add mine then.
|
| metsmarathon Jan 16 2008 06:45 PM |
|
well, i'm ready. you may all exhale.
|
| seawolf17 Jan 16 2008 06:49 PM |
|
I'll make the thread; I was waiting for the play-in to end, but it did, so I can do it now.
|
| themetfairy Jan 16 2008 06:57 PM |
|
How was the marathon?
|
| cooby Jan 16 2008 07:11 PM |
|
Nice job, everyone!
|
| seawolf17 Jan 17 2008 08:29 AM |
|
Tiebreaker has been noted in the first post, and the new matchup has been noted and posted.
|
| Nymr83 Jan 17 2008 01:59 PM |
|
Polls can be set to run for X number of days, if we were to NOT start the thread until both players have agreed they are ready to go we could then easily start it up with 1 day to vote.
|
| Fman99 Jan 18 2008 12:21 PM |
|
I'm sorry to be repetitive, but I cannot access YouTube or Photobucket from work. And so I have no idea what songs/artists most of these parodies are of and therefore can't place a proper vote.
|
| metirish Jan 18 2008 12:31 PM |
|
|
I agree.
|
| Mendoza Line Jan 18 2008 12:46 PM |
|
I think for a lot of people (well, for me at least), figuring out which song is being parodied is part of the fun.
|
| AG/DC Jan 18 2008 12:54 PM |
|
Band Y sucks.
|
| TransMonk Jan 18 2008 01:18 PM |
|
Their first two albums were OK. I agree with you about anything they released after 1982.
|
| sharpie Jan 18 2008 01:31 PM |
|
song X, however, rocks.
|
| OlerudOwned Jan 20 2008 12:31 AM |
|
I seem to have a nasty habit of disappearing around parody contest time. Sorry.
|
| seawolf17 Jan 20 2008 05:17 AM |
|
Once we get Chicken and OO done -- we'll give it 48 hours, as we have a weekend and a holiday -- then we'll get cracking on Round 2.
|
| holychicken Jan 22 2008 07:05 AM |
|
I will have my song ready by this afternoon. Heard briefly from OO, but there was a miscommunication and when I responded to him, I did not hear back. I think he was away for the weekend.
|
| AG/DC Jan 22 2008 07:15 AM |
|
I'm only getting shadows of ideas for round two right now.
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 22 2008 07:59 AM |
|
I can't get past "Kanehl, Kanozzle, Hossenfeffer Incorporated"
|
| soupcan Jan 22 2008 08:06 AM |
|
There's another round?
|
| AG/DC Jan 25 2008 11:05 AM |
|
Well, we've waited a big fat week. I'm willing to go ahead and make up a Kanehl song.
|
| G-Fafif Jan 25 2008 11:34 AM |
|
Remember what the long layoff did to the Rockies.
|
| seawolf17 Jan 25 2008 11:41 AM |
|
Technically, we're still waiting for the first round to finish, but we'll start Round 2 on Monday, one way or another. Everyone write frantically this weekend!
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 25 2008 11:47 AM |
|
Yeah. I had a bizz trip and was finishing up a new website and stuff. Um.
|
| soupcan Jan 25 2008 01:57 PM |
|
|
I'm ready. Mine's at home so I won't be able to post it until about 8:00pm tonight. If you want to throw yours up g'head and I'll get mine up there when I get home.
|
| seawolf17 Jan 25 2008 02:38 PM |
|
I'll post closer to 8:00 also, and we'll run it for 48 hours since it's a weekend.
|
| seawolf17 Jan 28 2008 12:45 PM |
|
Round 2 is updated in the top post. Remember, our first Round 2 matchup is already up! Voting ends this evening.
|
| MFS62 Jan 30 2008 06:16 AM |
|
Here's my suggestion for resolving the suspicious votes issue raised in the curley shuffle contest, tongue-in-cheek or not.
|
| themetfairy Jan 30 2008 06:48 AM |
|
I don't like that suggestion. I often have had to make tough decisions between worthy songs. I'd prefer not to vote than to have to vote publicly in such cases.
|
| sharpie Jan 30 2008 06:51 AM |
|
I agree with Met Fairy. I almost never say which way I voted.
|
| MFS62 Jan 30 2008 08:15 AM |
|
Then just say "I voted", and not say for whom.
|
| Kong76 Jan 30 2008 08:17 AM |
|
I didn't say that.
|
| MFS62 Jan 30 2008 08:22 AM |
|
|
That's why the question mark. You're right. This is what you wrote:
I thought it meant you used two diffferent screen names. Lo siento mucho. But the possibility of such a thing (multiple voting) happening still exists. And the loophole should be closed. Later
|
| Kong76 Jan 30 2008 09:09 AM |
|
The honor system here rocks the contest.
|
| metirish Jan 31 2008 09:58 AM |
|
I vote but I have desire to say who I voted for, and for the most part I think I keep it that way.
|
| metsmarathon Jan 31 2008 11:30 AM |
|
the only thing sadder than my 18-3 drubbing by edgy would have been if one of those three votes belonged to my little spring-wound buddy.
|
| AG/DC Jan 31 2008 11:35 AM |
|
What does he do in the off-season?
|
| metsmarathon Jan 31 2008 11:41 AM |
|
unwinds, mostly.

It's SuperDooperTuesday. I feel like votin' for stuff today. Post some songs people!

|
Sorry, had a busy end of the week last week at work, had to go into the city a bunch and then I got a little wrapped up in the AB. . . GO GIANTS. But I am back and will have my song done by the end of the day. I have given it some thought so it shouldn't be too hard to write up. Who do I play this round? WHO WANTS SOME OF THIS!!??!!!
|
| TransMonk Feb 06 2008 08:55 AM |
|
HC- You and me are next. Should we go tomorrow morning?
|
| holychicken Feb 06 2008 10:23 AM |
|
Sounds good to me.

| TransMonk Feb 06 2008 10:33 AM |
|
Cool, it's on.
|
| Kong76 Feb 07 2008 07:18 PM |

Sorry 'bout the outage today, we should probably let this round go until
|
| TransMonk Feb 14 2008 05:34 AM |
|
Hey Sharpie, are you ready to go today?
|
| sharpie Feb 14 2008 06:41 AM |
|
Yep. If you want to put yours up I'll follow.
|
| seawolf17 Feb 14 2008 07:15 AM |
|
I have to update the brackets -- I'll try to get to that today, but if not, tonight.
|
| soupcan Feb 14 2008 07:19 AM |
|
Yeah that's fine - I just don't know when on Monday I'll be around a computer. It might not be til Monday night but that's fine with me if its fine with you.
|
| AG/DC Feb 14 2008 07:21 AM |
|
|
Post the updated bracket in a new post at the end of the thread. I don't think peeps are checking back in post one and so are missing the action.
|
| seawolf17 Feb 14 2008 07:41 AM |
|
Monday night is fine.
|
| soupcan Feb 18 2008 05:30 PM |

Wolf - I'm waiting for you to post the thread then I'll throw my song up.

Monkey Man - If we schedule the finale for Monday morning (3/10) would that be cool with you?

I second the grats. You knocked me out two years running but no hard feelings, I'll get you next time.
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 13 2008 08:14 AM |

There were like, no gross miscarriages of justice in the whole contest, which I think is a first. Congrats to Soup and Monk.

Congrats!

Except, of course, you somehow out-polling me despite me out-Kanehling you nine ways to Sunday.

That wasn't gross.

This year was fun...as was last year. Thanks to all who participated and voted. Great contest.
