The Liverpool to Crane Pool Song Parody Contest

[Edgy MD]

Ringo pitched like he drummed: southpaw. Paul, on the other hand, played guitar and bass lefty but batted righthanded. Who does he think he is? Cleon Jones?

I can't concentrate without Ms. Tomato Pants

I may need a "snow emergency" extension. Got it half done. I might make it in time.

Soakies Bath time isn't quite the same without your cartoon buddies! The most well known bubble bath container's name, Soaky is now generally applied to bath soap containers from all manufacturers. You'll find some great character items in this category and it is a must browse for any completist collector worth his/her salt! "Soaky" is actually a brand name (Colgate-Palmolive) that has been used freely as a general term for any figural (usually cartoon) bubble bath/soap container. These containers had their heyday in the 60's though there are examples from the 50's as well. The containers are figural and usually made of plastic with the head of the cartoon character hiding the screw cap. Exceptions to this design include those with just a screw cap at the top of the container above the full body and those with figural rubber sleeves in the shape of the body that simply slipped over the generic bottle. These are indeed a collectible in their own right but also cross over in many areas due to the massive amounts of characters represented. As with every collectible, condition plays a role as does original packaging and, to a lesser extent, soap contents in tact. Bath time isn't quite the same without your cartoon buddies. Includes Palmolive and other figural soap containers depicting classic characters.

Two of the most sought after and collectible Soakies are Colgate's Paul and Ringo bubble bath bottles. (There are no Colgate Johns or Georges)

Check out this youtube video of one collector's impressive Soaky collection, including (at the 2:38 mark) the only sports themed Soaky ever issued by Colgate Palmolive, (hiding behind Humpty Dumpty).

Hey, I'm just messin' with you. This was not nearly as easy as I thought it would be, being a Beatle song.

I'm just gettin in under the wire.

[Edgy MD]

Me too.

This 'as hard. Would have liked a larger field of subjects.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I apologize, but I have to fold. I can't get any of the 'more
popular' songs to work with anything and I'm just not familiar
enough with whole albums as I might have been 30 years ago
to use something else.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I told you before you can't do that

I'd feel more guilty if there were going to be brackets and
I blew up a head-to-head match. Since it's a free for all, no
one will miss me much.

I applaud batmag's enthusiasm, and thank him again for running
the other contest which was one of our best ever imo.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Jeez, we'll never get McDonald's again. At this rate, not even Amway.

[Edgy MD]

I submitted two songs, because I like to overachieve when it comes to utterly wasting perfectly good time. Put d'Kong's name on one of them and we're good.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Deadline extended to 3/21, high noon. Gimme some songs.

Egg(mcmuffin)cellent!

Not for nothing but expanding the subject pool would also serve the contest well.

[Guest sharpie]

Some of us have at least managed to come up with something (not a clue, I didn't use "Something.") Was harder than I had thought since I'd used Beatle songs three times in past contests so those songs were out for me and had written about one of the subjects so he was out for me.

[Edgy MD]

An open field would be glorious.

Dear Fred or Nelson
Will you cut loose Cook?
It's been years and years
Now he needs the hook

A lefty specialist
Is no big deal
You can demote John Franco
And bring him on in relief of Al Leiter
RELIEF OF AL LEITER!

[Guest d'Kong76]

My two-cents: It would not be fair to those who have labored
successfully to give the others who have not more content to
chose from at this late juncture.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Oh soitenly. But in general, subject pool was too small from the start and should be opened up wider for the following rounds.

[Guest sharpie]

I agree, open subject final round(s).

[Guest sharpie]

Down with rain delays. Post what has been submitted. If 4/9 or 4/7 of the songs move on, then so be it. It has been extended once and that is enough.
