Songfight Olympics - GOLD GOLD GOLD TO AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!

Post by Caravan Ray »

I know everyone has been waiting for the results of this - but I've had Juan Antonio Samaranch and Jacques Rogge around at my house all week going through the entries and it's taken a while - especially after we got Phelpsie's and Denyer's urine samples mixed-up...

But after a photo finish - it looks like Australia has just snuck in a winner. Daylight filled the minor placings.

Now, far be it from me to cast aspersions - but me and Juan-Antonio and the rest of the Olympic Committee all think the rest of the world is pretty PISS WEAK!!!!

That's right - PISS fuckin WEAK!

But that is all we really expect I suppose, from you big pack of screaming nancy boys. No guts. No determination. Just a big puff of lavender when the pressure is on.

Anyway, at least somebody showed up to collect the medals.

And on the podium is, representing AUSTRALIA:

Sausage Boy - lead vocals
Denyer - armpit farts
Caravan Ray - backing vocals

WOULD YOU ALL PLEASE STAND FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM

And here is the winning entry:
Let A Hundred Flowers Bloom by The Australian Songfight Olympic Team

Let A Hundred Flowers Bloom
- lyrics by Mao Zedung and Caravan Ray


Well I woke up this morning and my head was going 'boom'
lying there in my own vomit in an unfamiliar room
but though my straits were dire I felt no impending doom
I just grabbed another beer and watched a hundred flowers bloom

Communism is not love
Communism is the hammer which we use to crush the enemy
Communism is not love
Communism is the hammer which we use to crush the enemy

I woke up this morning and my head was going 'boom'
lying there in my own vomit in an unfamiliar room
but though my straits were dire I felt no impending doom
I just grabbed another beer and watched a hundred flowers bloom

Leave it to the Aussie team to show up a day late with a hangover after everyone already went home.
Aussie team: Oi mates, we must be early! *bangs foreheads together*

Ha, that song is great! Good job. :wink:

The lack of a deadline / any further information about the promised 'pretty website page' submission destination kind of made it difficult to enter.

But hey, that's the only way Australia wins anything, right? Claim all you like. Every Australian flag is a quarter ours anyway.

:lol: Heh!! I think you forgot the [drunken post]... [/drunken post] bits.

WTF!
The lack of a deadline?
Any further information about the submission destination?

What's this:

Songfight Olympics - Opening Ceremony

A ham sandwich?

But you are welcome to lodge an appeal before the Songfight Olympic Committee. (I think that's Denyer this week).

EDIT:
=======================
:lol: Looking back J$ - you even posted on that page where the deadline and submission info was!

So now we hold Songfight Special Olympics?

And sit on our hands for another 4 years?

Do we have to hold a submission process for a host country?

Wait, I'm confused by the poll results. Are you saying that Australia was the only entrant and yet you still only managed 50% of the votes?

It would be pretty good going, even by my standards, to be drunk by 1.14pm.

Your explanation still holds, Frankie. 50% of the voters pro-actively voted against them.

Maybe the 2 anti-Australian votes were actually lodged by 2 of the Australian Team members who were actually voting in protest at the 3rd team member who contributed nothing but a sample of hand farts?


...maybe.
