Well what more can I say OMR? Rob, You, and I would make a great team! ;-) 555!

JIN - Indeed! Thank you. ;D

Cool tribute, I'm checking out Rob's songs today

OMR, what can I say- I'm speechless and red-faced!!! I am not JAB nor anyone else here, however- I am just me. The reason I can write so much is b/c I was used to it at my NG and multiple sites online. I have 12 online books, am on a bunch of sites, have 12200 NG posts, over 7000 more at a forum, and have posted over 20,000 a/c pics online. I specialize in the Third Reich and weapon systems, but also rare history. I have a mass of poems in anthologies, been in print in several forms of media since I was a teenager, and like to write about obscure things. Am a stats person, so that is why the high numbers. But I am also dying, so this is my outlet everyday. I basically have lost my old normal life... so don't think too much of me...

Rob - Peace to you and thanks for so many great parodies. ;D

Having a reason to live is one way to keep living. I've learned a lot about history and obscure aircraft from you. Just recently saw you are casting your "spells" on the "adult" side of this site. Keep up the good work.

Patrick, TY... today's a/c is the Horten XVIIIB-2!!! I was just tellign WCJ that I am so weak that I do not know if I can sustain 107+ songs per month anymore... and today a tribute by OMR!!! Now the pressure's really ON!!! I just barely wrote today's 2 songs last night. I am bedridden most days, on O2, and on massive medication. I have diabetic eyesight so I have problems when writing and proofing, and I hate mistakes, I also do not follow the syllable rules on the SJH parodies and many songs I do not know, so I just try to imagine how they were sung by the lyrics alone (doesn't work all the time). I am still but an amateur, but a productive one!!! I will try to do an unusual a/c for you tongiht Patrick...

Do you know for a fact that *I* don't have a fatal illness? Or that any other particular individual here does not have a terminal illness?

Not saying I do *or don't, for that matter ;), but if I did, *personally*, I'd not put that on the web. Partly for privacy issues, but we all differ in how we value our privacy. And I've already sympathized with your situation. But I would *not* want anyone to go easier on my parodies, or fluff up their comments, out of pity.

Well, that's just I. YMMV. Cheers. - TT

So, Mr. Troll has to come up once again, ready for a knowck-down, huh??? I. like many others here, LIKE Rob's topics and his style. So WTF is your problem A-hole??? Gotta tear two people down this time cuz you are amiserable malcontent loser??? Consider yourself reported, TT.

Tommy - I'm back! All my life I've been destroyed by intellectual bullies such as yourself. Guess what? I no longer give a flying f*ck! Deal with it and I hope I make your 1 key fall off! Have a nice day! ;D

What does TT stand for anyway- Twisted Twat????

Hammerhead - It's just his way. TT really is an OK guy...trust me. Rob - The greatest "what if"...what if Corporal Hitler had been killed on the Western Front in World War One? ;D

OMR, good question... or IF he had not gotten involved with the Thule Society and instead got approved for art school and/or architecture!!! As for TT, I personally do not care if he ridicules me or not. But to say I post no quality is BS- my ratings are all 4-5s and generally only low when hit by the mystery 1-2 bomber. I will not make any assertion on WHO that might be, but would just ask TT, if he doesn't like my parodies, to avoid me and rate his faves 555. I wish him well as a vet :-)

If Rob, You(OMR), and me, did form a team and put our heads together, we might come up not with a parody that is simply just three 5's, but one that has a score of five hundred and fifty five! ;-)

I've gotten to know Tommy as well as one can know someone whom he has never met. His concern is with the quality of writing. This site is something that he has loved and worked hard at for years, and he sees a sharp decline in quality. I don't think he wants to put people down or boast of his superior prowess, he just wants to see others striving to do as well as he does. For that reason he created a system that will enable a writer to match the lyrics of a parody with the syllables and accentuation of the original. Google it sometime. My own personal technique is to try and imagine my parody being sung by the original artist. Sometimes, if I try, I can close my eyes in a quiet room and "hear" my song in my mind. I don't know if everyone can do this, and some may be able to do it much better, but in my opinion, what we do here should be material that at least could be sung. I had the opportunity once to have a couple of my parodies recorded and I recall how the singer and I worked back and forth the better fit the lyrics to the melody and make the final product something that could pass as a good knock off of the original. What Tommy is saying is that instead of trying to crank out six copies of "I Put a Spell on You" a day, to take a week or two and work with a more complex song of greater length and content and match up the lyrics, the syllables and emphasis with the original. Sometimes Tommy can come off as strident, and it is possible to read emotions out of the printed word, when the writer is as skilled as he is. But if you were to turn out a good, strong parody of a more sophisticated, better known song, I do believe he would be as pleased as anyone else. I appreciate your knowledge of Third Reich history and obscure aviation facts. I would also like to see you achieve just as much in terms of musicality. Remember always, music is for fun, very few can make a living at at it, but anyone can enjoy it. We strive hardest at those things we love, and especially those loves that we don't perform for mere financial gain. Don't take what Tommy says as malice, I don't, but as a wish to see everyone here do better.

Tommy, whether anyone else believes it or not, but I believe it because it's true, has actually helped me a lot over the past years, with pacing and a few other things, concerning my parody writing, so I do owe gratitude to him for that, so I do give that to him. Thanks Tommy T. :-)

No vote on this one OMR, but I'm always looking forward to your next one.
Have to agree with Patrick on much of what he said. I think the ideal of the site is to produce good work, get better at it over time, and have fun.
Rob, you're quite prolific and apparently knowledgeable, and no offense here, but you can do better work if you put more effort into listening to the rhythms inherent in the original lyrics. I get the feeling you're just rushing them out the door, which is fine if all you want are numbers and a small audience. As of now for me, your work is unreadable. I'm expecting rhythms, and all I'm getting is prose. The song title seems incidental.
Here's hoping that down the road you'll produce parodies that are more accessible to those who frequent the site. So best of luck to you on all of your future writes, WWII and otherwise.
