I think it makes sense to choose songs that are popular enough that most people would know them. I don't think the parodies of very obscure songs are really that good to be honest. Or at least maybe that could factor into the scoring.

Really it's up to you if you want to parody an obscure song. It's a risk you take and it may or may not change our opinion.

Truly all the votes in this game are left up to preferance.

Just like on American Idol, when a singer does a song that noone has heard of. They usually lose votes when they do that.

BTW, two questions:

1) Will there be different theme weeks like on AI?

2) How often will the players have to write new parodies? Weekly or what?

Yes and weekly

Heh, well you can still submit recordings... That's what I'm gonna do.

But they'll be judging the lyrics regardless of how good your singing is.

Despite the fact that just lyrics are judged, people who send in actual recordings of their parodies would probably have an unfair advantage over the vocally-challenged people (I include myself in this grouping). I think for this game you should only accept lyrics, and that recordings should be posted in the Parodies You've Made 2.0 thread.

How? We're only judging on the lyrics and not the singing/not singing aspect.

If someone submits an extremly funny parody without a recording, and someone submits a mediocre one with a recording, the funny one would win

Is it funnier to read the lyrics to "Trapped In The Drive-Thru" or hear them in the song?

Post by **Mystik Tomato** » Mon Nov 06, 2006 6:51 am

Yes, I understand that with a few songs it's funnier to hear them, but there will be NO value that we'll add to the recordings.

These are the voting critera:
1 - Funniness
2 - Relevance
3 - pacing
4 - overall

A recording won't be able to add to any of them, except maybe pacing, and even then it won't help very much.
