Hey there kids and kidettes! It's your old pal Torakamikaze comin to you live from whereever it is I'm sitting at the moment, and I got something fun for you.

With the excitement and fun that came with abeadle's karaoke blog, it was apparant that you guys sure like to sing. So I thought to myself, how could I make a fun contest outta this? SIMPLE!

SERENADE A BLOGGER!!!

That's right. You see, the key to this contest is not only about your willingness to sing, but your song writing abilites as well. Here's what you gotta do...

1. Rewrite the lyrics of a song to make it about a fellow blogger. i.e. A song about chelly to the tune of "Mandy" by Barry Manilow.

2. Perform your song in the message thingy below.

3. Be sure to post in this here blog not only what song you performed, but the lyrics as well.

4. Enter as many times as you'd like.


This contest will be judged on both your epic performance and your fantastic lyrical skills.

NOTE: You dont have to be a "good" singer to win, we're looking for the most entertaining. So all you people out there hesitant to participate... dont be.

PRIZES

GRAND PRIZE - $25GC (torakamikaze), $25GC (lemonalle), 15 Prixie Pins featuring Threadless Artists (chelly), Fabulous Package of Mystery (ladykat), CD w/ all the participants songs

WINNERS!

3rd Place - irocko - "4Chelly" (the power of a duet can really touch one's heart)

2nd Place - jenraskopf - (there was just too many to pick a single song. We all had our own favorite)

Wooo Hooo ! Congratulations littlem, jenraskopf, and ir0cko !



I hope the songs are available on CD or somewhere on the

net to download. chelly's suggestion to "post the songs

to one of those free download sites" is a great idea.



This contest was so much fun! Thanks, for spearheading it, Torakamikaze :)
ladykat
ladykat on Mar 26 '07 at 5:57pm
Yes, thanks Tora!



Haha, I just played littlem's Mela song again... this time for my fiancé... and he was like, "Huh, it sounds odd to me because I'm used to the original version." He didn't realize it wasn't a professional cover at first. So sing on, littlem!

Torakamikaze,



After jenraskopf posts her bonus track in your

voice mail box would you set up the contest songs to be

downloaded somewhere on the internet ? ( please, with

sprinkles on top )

If you haven't already named this magical collection of tunes, I was thinking about it today and thought of:

Threadless covers for Threadless lovers.



I didn't spend that much time thinking about it, but it made me laugh anyway.
chelly
chelly on Apr 20 '07 at 8:47pm
or

Threadless: covers for lovers? so as not to be so wordy?
jenraskopf
jenraskopf on Apr 21 '07 at 2:53am
Brilliant chelly!!

helo
helo on Apr 22 '07 at 12:02am
another title suggestion :

Threadless throws off the covers !
helo
helo on Apr 22 '07 at 2:12am
the original song: " like to teach the world to sing"



"this song's for you"



I bet you want someone to sing - a song made just for you

Well, lead the way and sing today. You can do it too.



Just click the box and rock your socks as you sing out a tune

You never know where it may go after we hear you croon.

(Just ask littlem.)



I'd like to think your box will fill with songs & songs galore,

and agents asking, "Who are you?" and knocking down your door.

(those crazy agents)



I hope one day you get the song the one just made for you,

until then, just sing out loud and be sure to record it too.

I hope you're better than that possom that bit my grandpaw

poor grandpaw



Oh blossompossum

Do the kids chase you around the yard?

Oh blossompossum

Do they catch you?

Are your root feet fast enough?



Oh ! . . . kind of a slow part

Yeah, Uh Hunh

uhdair dair dair dair dair dair

blossompossum

All about me



"This newly upgraded version of Torakamikaze comes equipped with superior facial hair growing powers, enabling him to always look dark and mysterious. By utilizing the Earth's gravity, each one of his facial hairs is pulled outward at a very precise angle using a formula that is far too complicated for your puny mind to understand. In addition, starting with Torakamikaze version 3.7, all current Torakamikazes come equipped with bitchin' sunglasses and trend-setting hoodies, guaranteed to make members of all sexes and species swoon when passing him on the street.

BONUS FEATURE!!! This Torakamikaze contains a brand new ability to connect to the Internet via an ethernet port located in the back of his neck. Now you can download new programs and features to your Torakamikaze as they become available. The default programs included in this Torakamikaze include karaoke singing, hair grooming, break dancing, and cow tipping!"

oh i'm perfectly comfortable saying that if i ever met torasteve in real life and i were single, i'd come at him with a force that would probably destroy him.

-----------------------------------------------

spacesick 2 on Dec 01 '08 at 10:25am
torasteve knows the way to my heart WAY more than anyone else that I've made love to in this blog.

noodlezoop on Apr 03 '09 at 9:36am
He works like a charm, he does.

...If you enjoyed this ToraProduct, call now to order Torakamikaze: Can't Stop Lollin'. Call in the next 20 minutes and we'll throw in a free Fabio tote bag, our gift to you.

ofthecoast on May 06 '09 at 9:45pm
if torasteve were here, he would have made this blog awesome.

torturedtiki on May 06 '09 at 9:48pm
is there some sort of horn you can blow to attract his attention? or a ToraSignal?

KBShakedown on May 06 '09 at 9:49pm
You have to say something about bacon or your grandpa. Preferably both in one sentence.

nonbloggerholly on May 13 '09 at 11:10am
tora is the tia to my tamara

EricDiaz on Jun 08 '09 at 8:37pm
I was going to enter but Tora already won...

martiandrivein on Jun 08 '09 at 8:39pm
I was running a good race, but Tora just came out of nowhere and was just full of win.

Tikimasters on Jun 08 '09 at 9:14pm
Yeah I agree. Tora said he already won.

jess4002 on Jun 08 '09 at 9:15pm
you go, tora!

Mr.Cool on Jun 08 '09 at 9:32pm
? Tora did not win... the contest ends July 4th

Chipmnk on Dec 18 '09 at 1:48pm
Unrelated but on the drive home last night after watching Avatar, I was thinking about how cool of a dude Steve. Like just out of the blue I was thinking "man, you know who's cool? ToraSteve."

-----------------------------------------------

RuffinIt on Mar 25 '10 at 2:08pm
it is funny that I once thought Isa and Tora were the same person...

jaywalkergraphics on Mar 25 '10 at 2:12pm
Well, they are surprisingly similar in function:

When a debate arises, ISA gets to the heart of the issue, explains it eloquently and diffuses the situation.

When a debate arises, Tora gets to the heart of the issue, finds it amusing, Photoshops a dog into Oprah's hair, and diffuses the situation.

-----------------------------------------------

emoisforposers on Aug 25 '10 at 8:08pm
ps. i would never willingly punch torasteve in the face

unless he demanded it in kinky foreplay

and even then, i'd probably just pet his cheek.

jeffreyg on Aug 25 '10 at 8:09pm
i'd pet his cheek with my D

-----------------------------------------------

Morkki on Aug 29 '11 at 3:18pm
I admire Torakamikaze. He has a fine head of hair, he does.

littlem on Sep 28 '11 at 11:34pm
torasteve? you remind me a little bit of uhh, hmmm, what was that name... oh yeah! geena davis

-----------------------------------------------

Chipmnk on Jan 10 '12 at 10:38am
She was like "tear me up inside" so I torakamikaze.

-----------------------------------------------

Morkki on Feb 02 '12 at 5:49pm
Yo jerkface!

Yeah, YOU. You who bagged my groceries so that my Limited Edition Avengers Diet Dr Pepper can is now DENTED.

I PRAY that when the Lord of Thousand Gibbering Mouths, the mighty To'Ra-Ka-Mika'Ze arises from his eternal slumber to devour the world he will eat YOU feet first so that your final moments in this wretched reality will be filled with agony and a great gnashing of teeth!

Oh wait, I bagged them myself. Haha, what a OH FU-
