I've got "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." John A. Barry has "I Put a Spell On You." Tommy Turtle has "Goldfinger." In this case, the golden finger is the middle one! Way to go! Sock it to him! (Her? It?)

One the onliest number that he/she/it'll ever do. What MP said.

fifteen ones

555, very good. Saw your post on my "Confusion" parody, I'm curious, what bands do you listen to(The earliest ones I own are in the 70s)?

So, Turtle - you don't care for the "one's" guy/girl? I don't 'do' the Contests anymore (over in the 'Messageboard' section...fun but time-consuming), but maybe they should run a "Best One's-Guy Parody" Contest...lol...would he/she jump over there and "one" all the entries? nice piece here...

Michael, thanks. John B,, similar topic crossed my pea-brain: "'Ones' Is Tthe Lowliest Voter" (3 Dog Night), but am way backed up now, so go to it, and do us proud...alvin, thanks; do you mind if I rearrange my fifteen ones into three groups?
Stephen, thanks. Like many Boomer Turtles, grew up as R 'n R grew up - Buddy/Elvis/Ray etc thru the Golden Oldies of the 60s, to somewhere about where you apparently got on board... The 60s GOs are still being remade by groups today - too many examples to cite - probably many others besides self enjoy them and their parodies.
Paul, thanks.

Hmm, I don't have a song that is 'mine' per se. Everyone gets hit by the 1s-person, rarely does s/he leave comments. The last verse/outro was great with all of the rhymes. About Paul's contest idea, sounds good though there are already several contests currently running; maybe you should join the messageboard and start that contest.

Red, Thanks, but no thanks, really...I just don't have the time anymore - my duties/responsibilities at work are much larger than they were last year and in addition to that we have been much busier, too (a good thing...like to work someplace that's Ascending rather than Descending...). I had to decide what "outside" activities I wanted to parcel my time to...so I decided that any 'recreational' activity that had time constraints involved had to go...Hell, I do those things to RELAX...Being a Major Procrastinator I was constantly ending up with 30 parodies to read, vote and hopefully say something about on the 30th of each Month...My fault, sure...but my fault or not I wasn't having fun with them...Nope, No more contests for me...

Red Ant, thanks. Paul, as Karl Marx (almost) said, "Work is the curse of the drinking class." ("parodying" too.) Have observed peskiness of the "Real World" many times myself.

Paul, that comment was intended for the Turtle. The last time I checked you already had a messageboard account. ;-)

Hahahaha good stuff mate, loved how you make out those all 1s guys as dumb kids that should visit the Disney or Barney site! Those all 1s guys piss me off bigtime, they knock writers ratings down and when they do leave a comment they usually leave a dumbarse one which shows their level of intelligence. Anyways all 5s from me and thanx for your good rating/comment on my Datefinger parody of this song.

Still DKTOS, but it was a clever one. 555's

I don't have any of those bands or performers, unfortunetly, and I've just bought alot of music lately(so I can't afford to buy anything else at the moment).

Troy, Larry, Stephen, thanks.
There is an instrumental, not very good, but gives the sing-along tune, at 3w.garyrog.50megs.com/midi1.html.

Stephen, I understand, but to cite just one example, quote from commentary to TT parody of "I Fought The Law":
"I Fought The Law" has also been recorded by Tom Petty, The Clash, Hank Williams Jr, Marshall Crenshaw, Sam Neely and rerecorded by Sonny Curtis. Serevi, Google also says yes, Bryan Adams did do it. I wonder how many others have? It's a great Oldie staying young.. "....
One more: I just googled great Oldie, "Everlasting Love", and saw covers by Gloria Estefan and U2; perhaps you follow their stuff? - I don't, but there's a common ground....

Red Ant, I would so love to join 00s - have read a few threads there - but, like Paul, the pesky "real world" eats up so much time, can't even read/comment on/post all the songs I would like to here at the main place. And the #$%&* income taxes STILL aren't done!!!

I never give all 1's. If anyone does, he/she should stop. Even the worst pacing I've seen here deserved a 2 or 3. Plenty of parodies here, though (such as the present one), deserve a 1 or 2 in the other two categories.

"I disapprove of what Lurker says, but I will defend to the death his right to say it."

However,

"I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it."

Tommy: Bryan Adams recorded "I Fought the Law"? There's a version I can live without hearing. Voltaire: There's a lot of that going around, but then, as you said, "Common sense is not very common."

Lurker, Voltaire, thanks... Michael P, roger that.
