The Lyrics
Here's the fourth in my series of my not-so-brilliant takes on a dreadful song. There is entirely too much one-bombing in the scoring of parodies going on here. Please consider my unusual plea. My normal plea is not guilty by reason of insanity. ;D
When you are scoring parodies
(Then) Skip the ones. Why not give threes?
A two or three will make your point
And knock no noses out of joint.
A three equates to grades of "C"
And earned by mediocrity.
One scores are lowest to be had.
Were all three captions quite that bad?
For when our views do disagree
A 5 -1 -1 is fine by me.
I ask you scorers on my knees.
(Just) Eschew ones. Why not give threes?
I'm just sayin'. ;D

Well put-555! Nice series :)
Well put indeed.
Props for an insanely good idea and the use of one my favorite parody vehicles.
A well-deserved straight 5 on this one. Although I made the same complaint in a parody last month, I now think that the plague of 5-bombing may be even more offensive. When you're anonymous, you can show favoritism or ill-will and never have to think critically.
Thanks all. ;D
