I'm sorry, but after the first line, I can't follow the pattern of your parody. It seems to barely match the original song at all. Am I missing something here? That said, I do like your topic and what you say. I'll withhold rating this parody in case you can explain to me how your rhythm and the syllables of your word choices match the OS. Is there another recording of Maggie Mae that I don't know about, besides the one on the Let It Be album?

What is going on with you? I just looked at the other two parodies you wrote to short Beatle tunes. The "Her Majesty" one is a little better, but all three have serious issues with pacing. Also, as of March 15, 2016, 4:36 EDT, all three have seven ratings of 555. I find that hard to believe. Are you trying to communicate something through code here? Are you testing whether anyone will follow the old rules of rating at Amiright.com? Please explain.

Melanie, get yourself a dozen or so computers, browsers and Jonathans and you can have a bundle of straight 5s, too. You have to understand also that unlike the diverse population of Queens, this site is populated by right-wing, religious zealots.

ML, I don't need to explain anything to a pacing cop. Your own page has you here 13 years with a paltry 162 parodies to my 3132 in 5 years on the 31st. I already have produced 155 parodies in 6 weeks this year- almost your entire output and I am Number 2 Top 10 Parodist as well as Number 6 Top 10 Contributor with almost another 4200 submissions! I am a production machine. I do not hold to perfect pacing and sampling your page, your marks were most often 3s with many of your parodies 1-bombed. So who are you again? Nobody to me. I have a niche following here and have written about topics you never will based on a broad knowledge base and from experience. I am immune to criticism and bombers. I also have more individual artists at over 600 than you have total parodies and I use unconventional materials which include: hymns, poetry, commercials, TV Theme songs, traditional Roud # folksongs, etc... SJH IPASOY parodies is 721. I exceeded JAB on those. Have huge numbers of parodies in categories, by artist, genre, and time periods covered. In order to try to judge me Dear ML, you'd have to go through all 3132 parodies from beginning to end. I remain unique here in record busting and topics. It seems you've been under a rock for a long time. Go crawl back under it.

Btw ML, it's almost 5 pm PST here in Cali and there are roughly 5 parody artists with 4-10 x5s and no comments. There are a few more with all-5s and very few comments. Maybe you should fact-check before mouthing off.

Oh, dear, we are insulting, aren't we? So I average about 13 parodies a year, about one per month. One year I barely contributed anything at all. Hmm...why? Could it be that I have a life outside of the Internet, including a job, family, community theater, outings, and church? Could it be because I don't have Internet access at home and therefore can't be online all the time? Quite a few years ago--not necessarily on this website--I was taken to task about my lack of pacing on some of my parodies, and I realized that that person was right. Precise or nearly-precise pacing makes a parody easier to follow, as the reader hears the OS in his/her ear and matches the parodist's words to the melody. In fact, pacing is one of the standards for rating here--the most ignored one. In the past, people could distinguish between "pacing" and "how funny", like distinguishing between "talent" and "evening wear" in a beauty contest. Not anymore. I see a disturbing trend of ratings of 1s on one side and 5s on the other, with nothing in between, as if we're becoming extremely polarized and can't meet in the middle at all. People are voting not with their heads, but with their biases. They don't even take the time to judge how well a job a writer is doing on a song. Also, I think some of my work had been 1-bombed years after it was written, as if someone wants to see my ratings drop. I think that's troll behavior, not sound judgment. Such 1-bombing says more about the bomber than it does about the parodist. I also have a range of sources: rock, soul, musical theater, sacred music. My topics have included politics, social issues, everyday life, sports, TV and movies, faith, literature, etc. And like I said, I have a life outside the Internet. Anyway, it's not like Amiright.com is school; its participants are free to act as they want. I'm just sorry to see the quality of judgment on this site plummet.

Well said, Melanie. Rob, have to say it comes across as massive insecurity that you feel you have to endlessly repeat just how many parodies you've submitted as though it has any bearing on anything at all; that's probably why you feel the need to up your own vote counts so much as well.

whoops! I was looking for the Rod Stewart song! my bad... 5's

Phil, you are so irrelevant here that your only input is making commentary on other people's threads! Where is your creative muse? Why don't you write some parodies of your own? I have no insecurities. My posted stats are empirical facts. Melanie wants to attack me on pacing, I will counter with her lack of productivity and creativity. Also, please stop with the vote argument. Many authors here today and everyday get 10+ 5s a day without comments. Why or why not someone comments or not is their business. Someone attacked Jonathan on one of my threads for 5ing me when other high Vets 5 every POS parody from their buddies!!! I can name a lot of Vets who do NOT produce lyrical gold (including yourself) all the time and yet get auto-5s (when not being bombed to death for views). And I too have been seial bombed, others long before I ever got here! Also a fact. I am proud of my productivity and diverse topics. I prevent no one from out producing me. Show me up Phil, start writing again. Btw, you should ditch that Facebook pic. You look like a filthy bum. I know homeless in my area that are more hygienic! As my mom used to say, " you look like a Crumb bum!" You should recognize the reference. You are old enough!!! Also, sod off, mate...

Thanks Jon. Please ignore the thread trolls.

Like our esteemed colleagues ML and Phil said.

I deplore the rumbling personal attack on Phil, one of my parody-heroes. A prolific Amirighter invented a clever neologism for someone who might stoop to such behavior - "barborygmus".

My advice to you DGCd is stay deceased!

I noticed that all my trolls here took time to hit my thread, but did not leave comments for the others who submit everyday. Melanie is a total hypocrite as she doesn't even participate on a regular basis. Phil and DGCd only add lazy commentary or respond to select chums with over-glorification of normal work. Btw, the whole anagram thing is stale. The ratings prove it.

Seeing as you ask, Rob - my creative muse is functioning very well, thank you: on Sunday, I was at a show where they used one of my parodies as an opening number & I'm looking forward to the next royalty cheque. You see, this sort of thing can happen if you concentrate on improving quality rather than churning out vast quantities of poorly-scanning mediocrity, As for the hygiene comments.. bizarre. If I were you I'd give up trying to insult people, you're not very good at it.

Aesop's Fables: The Vixen and the Lioness: A Vixen who was taking her babies out for an airing one balmy morning, came across a Lioness, with her cub in arms. "Why such airs, haughty dame, over one solitary cub?" sneered the Vixen. "Look at my healthy and numerous litter here, and imagine, if you are able, how a proud mother should feel." The Lioness gave her a squelching look, and lifting up her nose, walked away, saying calmly, "Yes, just look at that beautiful collection. What are they? Foxes! I've only one, but remember, that one is a Lion." "Quality is better than quantity."

"Quantity is a quality of it's own" ~ Stalin. This is what beat Germany in two World Wars. Btw, Melanie, try writing some parodies instead of posting non-effective commentary. In 13 years you can't even reach 200. In addition to my 3135 parodies, I also have 4194 contributor submissions= 7329 total submissions in 5 years. I am unique here as Top 10 Parodist and Top 10 Contributor (#2 and #6 respectively). You are nowhere. I am now at 178 parodies so far this year. More than you or your pals. Run along, little girl.

Anyone that attacks someone with fables is definitely living in Bernie Sanders fantasyland! What's next, Bible quotes???

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

By God, you must be some kind of psychic, Agree!!

CML, why do you do this routine? Jump in on other people's threads during a conflict? You have been accused of being a blatant racist, homophobe, and Anti-Muslim. You're low productivity is little better than ML's but at least you have been here for a much shorter time. You should be submitting parodies. Commentary on my threads are a waste of time as you know. Btw. I was paraphrasing Stalin above. Better correct that before some troll jumps all over it. "Quantity has a quality all its own" ... usually attributed to Stalin but not proven. It is however true not just for the USSR in WW2 but the Arsenal of Democracy too which wasn't bombed continentally (with exception of a few incidents with Oregon, LA, and the Fugo balloon bomb ICWs)! I produce. I enjoy writing. This is a hobby, not my life. Today, my topics are the Boeing Phantom Ray UCAV, "Mein Kampf" back in print in Germany, and a Cosplay Furry experience!!! If that's not diversified, I don't know what is! Most parodists here write of the mundane. I don't. And I take pride in that too. As for scripture, "Judge not lest ye be judged" ;-)

Okay, Agree, I'll oblige! "The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” --from 1 Samuel 16:7 "Many are called, but few are chosen." --Matthew 22:14

As Bugs and Daffy would exclaim,
"WABBIT SEASON!"
"DUCK SEASON!"
MELANIE SEASON!!!

What is Rob productive of? It sure ain't parodies. I gave up trying to scan his 5-minute jobs years ago. Same with Fack Sabbath. At least Fack is pleasant -- not nasty and ideological. Other than this comment, I don't waste my time on those guys anymore. I suggest you good folks do the same.

BTW, 2-4-3.
