There was a dude like you and me.
Look over there and you will surely see
that he was happy as a king
except for one peculiar thing.
He had a clock that worked all right
it worked all right but not exactly quite
instead of going "tick" and "tock"
the crazy clock went "HI, TDOT!"
The poor old man just raved and raved because nobody could say
why his silly clock behaved that hicory dickory way.
Then one day he lost his cool
"This clock," said he "needs to obey my rule"
"There must be thirty ticks per tock,
or I'll just buy another clock."
The clock took great offense at this
and said "okay, I'll grant your stupid wish.
If you think there are ticks I've missed,
then I'll wear you upon
my wrist!"

Yes, hickory is misspelled IT IS UP TO YOU TO DISCOVER WHY

FOR LOSER."
edit: duh, use mirror
sorry
you are lucky i actually downloaded that mirror
because i was going to vote GSM.
but.
captain planet will always win my vote.
So did "The Flash Wizard Cursed it" though.
But I have such a soft spot for cute songs.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
i don't know what this means in regards to voting.
i don't know much. i think i'm going to have to sit for a bit.
That butt.
oh well!
oh man those are nifty
You are friendly to a fault.
Competition is a dead entity to you.

honestly when I join these battles winning is a secondary goal to having people make cool shit to fight me with
Not that GSM is smug, but that's how it plays out in my head
But TDOT's was pretty great even before he got a million people to do extra shit for him
EVEN THOUGH HE'S BEATEN ME TWICE
IN A ROW
THAT FAT CLOCKY BASTARD
Because copyright infringement is sexy.
I'm looking for PAX Badges! Please PM me if you have a Four Day, or any Single Day Badges to spare!

(This post turned out mean I'm sorry D:)
Man TDOT, I had an outpouring of ideas last night that I wish I had thought of earlier. Could have turned my butt into an epic tale! Now who to vote for: GSM or my butt?
Twitter Steam
I just didn't want to be a douche and not share the wonderful things people had sent me
I still liked GSM's approach and his animation was stellar
Also I liked GSM's entry better.
I know, I was just kidding. Of course by butt would win, but that wouldn't be a fair fight.

It's "The Syncopated Clock" by Leroy Anderson. The recording was trimmed down a bit and time compressed to feel less sluggish. The first verse's lyrics were by Mitchell Parish (with heavy modifications, of course) and the second verse is entirely original.
My goal with this entry was to make something referencing the style of late 40s/eary 50s UPA cartoons (hence the modified UPA logo at the beginning)
