We should put that on one of our CPF tees! We need a

Like, no defined subject set?

Assigned topics. Nothing anywhere near as tough as the Kranepool Cup semi-final basket of Espinosa, McAndrew, Claudell et. al.

I'll post the rules for the Liverpool to Crane Pool tournament tomorrow.

[batmagadanleadoff]

The 2014 Liverpool to Crane Pool Song Parody Contest is officially here and underway. And because you've been such a lovely audience, without further ado, here are your first round topics, celebrating the 50th anniversaries of the Beatles stateside arrival and the opening of Shea Stadium. You may choose one of the following players, who either played for the 1964 Mets or were born in the year 1964:

The Liverpool Wrinkle - Your song parody must be based on an original Beatles song. Eligible songs are original Beatles songs that appeared on any of the Beatles albums shown here:

Your song must parody an original Beatles composition. Thus, other artists' songs covered by the Beatles, like, for example, Roll Over Beethoven (Chuck Berry) or Long Tall Sally (Little Richard) may not be parodied.

There are no head to head matchups in this contest. 40% of the field will advance to the final round. Any forum member who wants to compete, but still hasn't signed up, may still do so. Since there aren't any matchups, we can squeeze anybody in. Just submit your song parody to my private mailbox before the deadline and you're in. You know my name. Look up the number.

And on behalf of our corporate sponsor, I hope you all pass the audition.

Song parodies are due on or before March 17, 2014, 11:59pm.

Lol. I already wrote one last week and was hoping that the player would make the cut.

So, "Free As a Bird" and "Real Love" aren't allowed?

Okay, have at it. Disembodied Beatles songs, too.

I may be turned away next time I go to the drive-thru but the Liverpool to Cranepool Parody Classic Presented by McDonalds needs more subjects on the menu.

You mean more topics?

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, I think we should be able to write about any players or subjects named John, Paul, George, or Richard.

Possible wrinkle: if we write about George Altman (for instance), it has to be a song originally sung by George. (That may not work.)

You had my idea. I was gonna add a batch of John, Paul, George and Richard's.

[Edgy MD]

Or variants like Sean, Pablo, Jorge, or Dick. That could give us a healthy pool.

[G-Fafif]

Topps notwithstanding, Duke Snider didn't play for the 1964 Mets. Sold to SF just before season started.

Like the '64 played/born motif. Do wish it was widened to include more players who fit the description.

Are we auditioning or is there voting? I don't really
understand and I'm not re-reading sifting through all
the ads and fluffernutter.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Nevermind, there's no audition ...

It's a two round tournament, with no head to head matchups. In each of the two rounds, all of the song parodies will be placed in one thread. There will be one poll per round. The first round parodies receiving the most votes will advance to the second and final round. Almost half of the contestants will advance to the second and final round. The tournament championship will be awarded to the contestant whose second round parody receives the most votes.
