Not in the right order, so it doesn't count, you lose.
Sever your leg, please. It's the greatest day.

Well, now we know that Jon is some kind of wizard.

Since I probably can't get away with NOT doing this after the full tracklist is released, I shall award tentative points (which I reserve the right to adjust accordingly when we get some kind of confirmation as to what the parodies really are but hopefully I won't have to do this). I may have to award more points accordingly once mroe info on the polka medley is released.

Also, taking the Meadows rule into account, each contestant can now earn up to 1125 points, not 1000 points as I previously stated.

Killingsworth: 625
mrmeadows: 850
AccordionChick: 675
Skippy: 625
TMBJon: 1050
yankochick38: 850
The Sporkman: 675
Bruce The Duck: 850
anthontherun: 625
HiggyG: 625

1st Place: TMBJon
2nd Place (3-way tie): mrmeadows, yankochick, Bruce The Duck
3rd Place (tie): AccordionChick, The Sporkman
4th Place (4-way tie): Killingsworth, Skippy, anthontherun, HiggyG

Congrats, Jon!

Well, seeing as all the parody targets have been all but confirmed at this point... I guess the final scores stand as they are now.

These scores don't seem right to me. In particular, mine. (But probably others as well.) The rules say a correct song is 200 points plus 25 points for being in the right order.

My list was:

"Fancy" - Iggy Azalea (of course)
"Radioactive" - Imagine Dragons
"Blurred Lines" - Robin Thicke
"Royals" - Lorde
"Get Lucky" - Daft Punk

By my count, that's 225 each for "Fancy" and "Blurred Lines" and 200 each for "Radioactive" and "Royals" for a total of 850. Did I miss something?
