I think that song is the most fun when you sing it in the voice of Fred Schneider from the B-52s. Seriously, try it. I'll wait.

Dude, that's one of my favorite games. You take any song and sing it in the style of Fred Schneider. Try Stairway to Heaven, too.

FTC #17 - The Great Salsa Riot by ladyjdotnet 1-08-04

Good evening. We have a developing story out of New York City where a riot is going on right now. Let's go to Phil McCracken live on the scene. I'm here with Red Thompson, who has been a witness to the carnage since the beginning. Red, can you tell us how this riot started? Some stereotypical cowboy types started screaming about substandard salsa, and one thing led to another. There you have it. I'll be back with commentary from a local rotor turbine engineer in just a moment.

FTC #17 Male Contraceptive Pill by TheUnoriginalJonny 1-08-04

Good evening. We have a developing story out of New York City where a riot is going on right now. Let's go to Phil McCracken live on the scene. I'm here with Red Thompson, who has been a witness to the carnage since the beginning. Red, can you tell us how this riot started? Phil, it was horrible! The FDA finally released the first male birth control pill. The city is in ruins while men everywhere are having sex constantly without break. Many have died from starvation Did you hear that Sandy!? Phil's gonna pull an all nighter tonight for the rest of our lives... muahahaha!

First time entering into a contest so I know it's bad.

Yeah

It's that time...

First off, let me say that there were some great comics in this contest...in fact, I laughed at almost every one (maybe I'm easily amused).

Anyhoo...because of this, I'm adding another category :

The Hat Trick - 3 comics worthy of mention.

Good evening. We have a developing story out of New York City where a riot is going on right now. Let's go to Phil McCracken live on the scene. I'm here with Red Thompson, who has been a witness to the carnage since the beginning. Red, can you tell us how this riot started? Red?

laughinginyourface's comic was displayed originally, as that was my original pick for the Less is Good award until I saw ObiJo's. Consider it a runner-up.

whoa, I won best use of corniness.... I'm not sure whether I should be honored or offended.... Oh well, I'll take it as a compliment since I have no self-esteem :)

---
Yeah

Yes, making people scream in pain at your jokes is a good thing. I enjoy doing so both here and in real life. :)

Strangely enough, I'd never thought about doing that with other songs. This has opened up a whole new world of Fred Schneider love for me. At this moment, I'm getting enormous pleasure out of singing "Love me do" a la Fred.

Great contest, Niteowl. Lots o' fun.

Peeing sitting down is the gift you give yourself.

Um...yay? Cool. I won more stuff! I like winning stuff! Stuff is good! Damn, I am dying for a kaufman FTC. I'm apparantly obsessed with him, so that probably explains it.

Be honored. Getting an award is a good thing.

Btw...Since its been a couple of days and TheGov has yet to start up a new FTC, I'm sending him a PM to inform of his victory. If he doesn't get one started by Monday or so, Kaufman gets to take on FTC #18.

Why thank you, niteowl, I wasn't really expecting anything. Now I can brag that I was the first winner of the Hat Trick Award...errr, a third of it, rather.
