Just getting started w/ the day here. I should have something in a few hours, cool?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Is anybody else aiming for subject-contemporary(ish) song choices in this endeavor?

[Guest themetfairy]

Not me.

Adult Contemporary, maybe.

I think if you can pull it off it's all to the good. Soupy's song choice obviously gives his submission opposite-field power.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Plus, it makes the result feel like a Metly episode of Cold Case.

Gotta submit my time at work too! deadlines deadlines!

I'm done, just proofreading.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

I concede to sharpie because I had four hours sleep last night and thus I am mentally unable to compose a parody that was due yesterday. The world will have to live without "Wild Card," my tribute to the 1999 New York Mets set to the tune of Tone-Loc's "Wild Thing." Good luck sharpie. I'm off to take a nap.

You just want to get to the shrimp before it's all gone - admit it!

[Edgy MD]

I like the idea. Drink some coffee and finish it. Sharperson can wait.

[Guest sharpie]

[metsmarathon]

[A Boy Named Seo]

Daddy don't write those New York Mets parodies
No more
He don't get no sleep on a Monday night
No more
Daddy can�t think about lyrics and key
He�s got a cute little girl
In the nursery
Daddy don't write those New York Mets parodies
No more

Daddy don't think about the �99 Mets no more
No more
It�s just like Kenny F. Rogers never threw
Ball four
Cincy still lost game 163
But nothing is said
'Cause daddy�s not free
Daddy don't think about the �99 Mets no more
No more

Googly eyes at the baby and that�s a fact
Feeding her some dinner, hope she doesn�t gack
He says I gotta change a diaper
And I'll be right back

Daddy don�t write those New York Mets parodies no more
No more
He can't post songs every night
All about George Theodore
Daddy�s gonna smoke a fine cigar
In the loser�s lounge
Have a drink at the bar
Daddy don't write those New York Mets parodies no more
No more

I love this god damn song.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Damn Chad, that's a finer parody than I could ever craft myself.

I'm just reading this all after a couple of days and I'm wondering if you all are really still waiting for me to post a song even though I threw in the towel? Is this like La Cosa Nostra and I can't leave unless I'm rubbed out first? I could probably throw something together if you like or if it's too late that's cool too. Whatever is less dickish for me to do.

[metsmarathon]

you gotta at least show up for your own funeral.

otherwise there'll be a dangerous precedent set for those (me) who take too damned long to post their songs.

[Guest themetfairy]

Do it Willets!

It's exactly exactly that.

Get crackin'.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nobody likes a quitter, man.

/wink

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Y'all might regret this.

[Edgy MD]

Soup, it's me and you. How do you want to proceed?

[soupcan]

Monday? Tuesday?

Sooner? Later?

[Edgy MD]

Let's go for Tuesday.

[soupcan]

Pistols at dawn on Tuesday it is.

[Edgy MD]

I'm on the road tomorrow. Likely won't be ready 'til Wednesday.

[soupcan]

Good, Fine. Me too.
