This weeks Weekend Caption Contest™ again had a boatload of entries. Two musical numbers stood out, as you'll see below...
Here are the winning captions for following photo:
1) (jmaster) - "During a campaign stop at the Berkeley Home for Burned Out Hippies, Terreza Heinz Kerry tries to recapture the karma of their glory days by leading the patients in song:
And its vone, two, fthree,
vhat are vee fightink for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop vill be Iran,
Vell, eets, five, zeex, zeven,
open up the pearly gates
Vell, there ain't no time, to vonder vhy,
Voopee, ve're all goink to die!"
2) (McGehee) - "Aren't I rich?
Do you like my hair?
Me up here where I belong,
You way out there.
Send in the clown.
Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
My John keeps spinning around,
But his polls don't move.
Where is the clown?
Send in the clown.
Just when I'd stopped beating the help,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again with my horrible hair,
Sure of my lines,
No one is there.
Don't you love farce?
My fault I fear.
I thought that you'd give me what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where is the clown?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother, he's here."
3) (spacemonkey) - "And Bush doesn't want you to be able get cheap raisins and gin from Canada."
Honorable Mention
4) (Aaron's Rantblog) - "And this shaky hand is the one I use to brush my hair."
5) (JAB) - "Vell, I umped about dis high off da floor . . . I mean I haven't been goosed like dat since the Clinton Administwation. And dat's the last indaview I will evah give Bill O'Wiley!"
6) (Patrick Lasswell) - "Proving conclusively that she will be a change of pace from Laura Bush, Ms. Heinz-Kerry championed her new look, 'Rode Hard and Put Up Wet!'"
And the best non caption caption goes to Rodney Dill:
Our opponent displays a certain disingenuity in his plans, his strategies, and in his creativity to succeed. He displays a certain knack for NOT being able to get the job done. He doesn't have the skills, the knowledge, nor especially the timing for the job. He resents our popularity and can't handle the truth that others don't flock to his values and beliefs. He has resorted to vicious lies and personal attacks when confronted with the blunt truth... What, No I'm not talking Dubya and the presidential election, I'm tellin' you about MamaBitchie and the Wizbang Weekend Caption Contest.
All complaints will be cheerfully forwarded to /dev/null.
Until next Friday...

Wow! Not only did I break into the top three, but Rodney didn't! Whoo-hoo!
Yes, I've been jealous. Does it show much?

Sorry I missed the contest but here's my entry:
You take a quart of gin and mix in a box of white raisens. Then you throw out the raisens and drink the gin.

Thanks for picking a good photo and providing the space for us all to have fun with it, but if this is a "caption" contest, how come your top two aren't even remotely captions? Actually, I'm not complaining. It was fun, so many of the entries were really clever and I'll know next time I don't have to be brief in a way that would fit under a newspaper photo.
I'm looking forward to next weeks' contest. The high quality this week shows the Wiz posters are really on the ball. But I knew that already.

Contestants tread into song parody ground at great risk to life and limb, since (historically) they've seldom won...
We use "caption" in the most expansive sense - thought bubbles, news captions, song parodies, etc. are all valid.

Given the monkey theme (all respect and appreciation for spacemonkey's win, donchyaknow), I suggest that Jon Stewart be our next Wiz! caption contest, um, material.

I too have felt that interpretation of the word “caption” was sometimes a bit loose. And I have also been troubled by multiple entries made by some posters.
After some internal struggles, I have resolved these issues as follows:
1). I enter multiple times.
2). I enter with what I consider to be “non-caption captions”.
Its been quite liberating!
But most importantly, I keep in mind that this ain’t my blog. Kevin and the Wizbang! gang rule supreme here.
I imagine it can sometimes be a chore sorting through this mess. I appreciate the opportunity they give us all to have a little fun.
All that being said, I am most grateful for the honor bestowed upon me this week. Until next Monday, I am the greatest person in the world!

Country Joe ACTUALLY emailed me compliments about my spoof of his "Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag". See comment #10. Photoshopping and hyperlinked lyrics here.
Unlinked lyrics here, for you lazy folk:
The Kerry Cheer & I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-To-Decide Rag
Gimme an F!
F!
Gimme an L!
L!
Gimme an I!
I!
Gimme an P!
P!
What’s that spell ?
Flip!
What’s that spell ?
Flop!
What’s that spell ?
What the fuck do you want it to spell?!?!?!
Yeah, MoveOn all of you, liberal men,
Osama needs your help again.
He’s got himself in a terrible jam
‘Didja know I served in Vietnam?
So put on your burqa and appease the Jihad,
We don’t want to make the U.N. mad.
And it’s one, two, three,
What am I running for ?
Don’t quote me, I don’t have a clue,
I got three medals or was it two?
And it’s five, six, seven,
Democratic candidates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Elect me! we’re all gonna die.
Well, come on generals, let’s move fast;
Your surrender has come at last.
Gotta go out and scream like Teds
The only good Republican is the one who’s dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When Americans are on the run.
And it’s one, two, three,
What am I running for ?
Don’t quote me, I don’t have a clue,
I got three medals or was it two?
And it’s five, six, seven,
Democratic candidates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Elect me! we’re all gonna die.
Huh!
Well, Bush is Hitler, don’t you know,
Why Michael Moore, he told us so.
There’s lots o’ U.N. bribes to be paid
By denying the Army with the tools of their trade,
I’ll hope and pray that when they dirty bomb me,
They don’t drop it on my SUV.
And it’s one, two, three,
What am I running for ?
Don’t quote me, I don’t have a clue,
I got three medals or was it two?
And it’s five, six, seven,
Democratic candidates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Elect me! we’re all gonna die.
Well, come on mothers throughout the land,
Burqa up and clip your framazam.
Come on fathers, don’t hesitate,
Learn to honor kill before it’s too late.
Be the first one on your street
To submit to the Religion of Peace.
And it’s one, two, three,
What am I running for ?
Don’t quote me, I don’t have a clue,
I got three medals or was it two?
And it’s five, six, seven,
Democratic candidates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Elect me! we’re all gonna die.

I'd complain about the judging, but that would just be sour, gin soaked, raisins.

Congratulations!It seems the creative quality of the "captions" is improving,and finally the judges are responding.
Still there are so many(you know who you are)"throw it at the wall and see if it sticks""captions",by ego-driven "geniuses".Let' just call it what it is..'clutter'.If these self-proclaimed Einsteins of creativity would just stop trying to amuse themselves,and consider the rest of us who read these lame and boring comments weekly.
Sit back relax and only submit your best few entries after giving some true thought to make them competitive.
Oh...and these long(and very boring) song parodies...substituting your own words into someone else's creation is lame and weak.Make up your own friggin' song.AND GET A JOB !
