Bet you went Somewhere over the rainbow you filthy whore.

I probably wouldn't have given it any votes had I known it was a cover. I got nothing against covers, but part of the charm (for me at least) was that I thought the guy was pretty clever for just thinking of rapping Dr Seuss over a 4/4 beat.

This 2007 upload appears to be the original, but there have been a number of other attempts since then

It was easily the best version

 

[Ulahoopski]

The higher ups have to make that decision (Wonka was banned from the contest for a little while). I just update the OP and hand out awards.

I suggest that if we have to put up with Wonka's self-absorbed hosting, then whenever he hosts it should be mandatory that everyone sends their votes through to yourself or Porps as well.

 

[Hoos]

Don't know who nommed ODB or Chris Robinson - Little Lizzie Mae

That would be me.

And by that I mean Chris Robinson.

My stipulation was no previously nommed artist and post 1998.

 

[William Wonka]

I normally send everything through to Roo.

 

[Ulahoopski]

I normally send everything through to Roo.

and..?

 

[William Wonka]

and..?

Just being chatty.

Post-round update! (501)

• A minor debate but, it's a rule that's been in place from the start. Back One Out's DQ meant he had to cop the billy; that was his 9th for the contest.
• Due to the above, Plugger35's Hall of Shame from round 337 has been rescinded.
• the fly broke a podium drought dating back 77 rounds to round 424 (although he hasn't appeared in all rounds). That took his podium tally to 29.
• Cdog71 nearly got his maiden win but lost on countback to settle for his 2nd podium.
• The winner was William Wonka who chalked up his 17th win and 59th podium. Quite the whore.

More to come.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

• A belated acknowledgement for por_please_ya's 200th!

If everyone has an issue with Wonka's hosting, the best thing to make a change is to vote with your feet.

[Back One Out]

It was easily the best version

True, but the guy is still copying what others have already done. No originality.

So it's a bit like saying the American Idol contestant with the great voice sang a better version of the song than the original.
