So congrats to those wacky Halakans, and a huge huge thanks to everyone who participated...to all those who stuck with this crazy thing through the thick and thin.. and to everyone who voted as well!! and of course, I mustn't forget, a HUGE thank you to Shadowmom, for all her hard work and help, and especially for holding down the fort while I was unable to be here.. A lot of good music was made, and that was really the point all along, wasn't it? so give yourselves a hand, and head on over and congratulate Kingo and the Halakans, will ya?

ShadowMom	Date: May 24, 2007 @ 7:33 AM Now on the seventh day... I rest. NOT!!! It was fun, there was some great music, so thanks to all the artists who made it possible.
farfor44	Date: May 24, 2007 @ 7:39 AM Congrats Halaka and to Lucy for her second place win
NickSawyer	Date: May 24, 2007 @ 7:55 AM Awesome
Tattoomom	Date: May 24, 2007 @ 8:26 AM Congratulations Halaka! And I'm glad Lucy came in as runner up. She did a fantastic job on Bill's song! AND OF COURSE if for any reason the winner cannot fulfill their obligations, the first runner up is asked to fill in...so if Halaka gets caught in nude photos or goes into rehab...no wait...wrong contest!!!
Israfel	Date: May 24, 2007 @ 8:39 AM Congratulations Halaka!! And congrats to Lucy too! oh and Tattoomom, I have some photos of Halaka for sale, nude photos, taken while they were in rehab...
shutyatrap	Date: May 24, 2007 @ 9:16 AM Well done Halaka. I thought it was an excellent cover!

theblacklodge	Date: May 24, 2007 @ 10:41 AM Excellent, congrats!!
kingo	Date: May 24, 2007 @ 10:41 AM We have a happiness. We can now rescue all of our trash from the pawn shop. We are very well aware that we won out of pity for all that hocked stuff, but we'll pretend we deserved it based on merit alone anyway. Thanks to everyone for the congratulations and the votes and the comments and the listens. And thanks for the great song, Israfel and Alex. And now, also, I can switch my bitching around and thank those of you who were supposed to be in the contest but didn't submit a song. Without those songs being not there, we ... we... ?
Alstroph	Date: May 24, 2007 @ 10:52 AM Congratulations Halaka! And thanks to DeadraveN and Shadowmom for all of their hard work.
Mojosnake	Date: May 24, 2007 @ 10:54 AM HALAKA you deserve it guys that was one hell of a cover
Orion	Date: May 24, 2007 @ 2:16 PM Congratulations!

wailingmiserere	Date: May 24, 2007 @ 5:26 PM Well done Halaka! And I still can't believe I was a runner up ...
hate9wicket	Date: May 24, 2007 @ 6:52 PM Congrats to the potato, bag party man, angry canine, and the fancy(sp?) one. On 24th May 2012, DeadraveN said: Kingo and the Halakans I like that, It sort of sounds like their Surf Rock period, when they used to wear Hawaiian shirts over gorilla costumes, playing Mariacchi guitars and ending shows by smashing them over each others heads and throwing fake into the audience. ..... though that could have been somebody else....I must go consult the archive....
moam	Date: May 24, 2007 @ 7:05 PM congrats!!

[QUOTE info=DeadraveN,May 24, 2007 @ 7:31 AM] Kingo and the Halakans I like that, It sort of sounds like their Surf Rock period, when they used to wear Hawaiian shirts over gorilla costumes, playing Mariacchi guitars and ending shows by smashing them over each others heads and throwing fake into the audience. ..... though that could have been somebody else....I must go consult the archive.... [/QUOTE] No, you're right, hate9...I distinctly remember this phase of their career. It was at that time in Halakan history that they also starred in a series of low budget beach movies where they were always involved in some mad cap adventures with a girl named Doris (whom they affectionately called Dotty). The stories always ended with some quite frightening stunt (utilizing the very bad special effects of the day) like sky diving or surfing during a tidal wave and throwing fake into the audience. If memory serves, kingo was known as Moondoggy then. .... or that could have been somebody else....
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: May 24, 2007 @ 8:29 PM well done Halaka . Even though I voted for evansorchid and his moam medley, which I thought was superb, choosing was really difficult as all the songs were brilliant and your cover version rocked. All the contestants deserve to be congratulated, as Paula Abdul would say, 'all the contestants are winners', who gave up their time and produced some truly memorable music and I was sad that some of the non participants were not able to submit some music, some of those guys make great music too, but in a way I'm glad as it was hard enough to choose one song to vote for ...
hate9wicket	Date: May 24, 2007 @ 8:34 PM Btw....I publicly apologize for calling a when he is clearly a and didn't Kingo and the Halakans also have a Saturday morning program where they traveled around in a van .....solving crimes....meddling.....very softcore pre-adolescent porn....mild allegories ....lots of fake being strewn about.....strong admonishments about a particular member overeating and ruining a particular members floor....? Or am I just thinking of something else? I distinctly recall a shark laughing a lot....
Woof	Date: May 24, 2007 @ 9:17 PM This kinda thing does a lot to restore my faith in human nature! Congrats... or better yet... well deserved congrats. May you and yours flourish in the edgy and shadowy lands that you inhabit. Well done!
MickeyBreezy	Date: May 25, 2007 @ 12:01 AM my congrats as well to you crazy bike racing bastards. this was really fun and i cant wait for the next one already.
evansorchid	Date: May 25, 2007 @ 1:15 AM Ahem, I would like to thank the Academy for.... ....what was that.....I didn't win? Oh man, I had my speech all prepared....nevermind... Seriously, Congrats to Halaka and Wailingmiserere on two outstanding covers. Everyone involved did a fantastic job. Can I still come to the afterparty?
Snoogans775	Date: May 25, 2007 @ 6:09 AM halaka!? those guys suck, they is the worst of the smelliest pile of salamander droppings this side of the Nile! this is a fruitcocktail!, no words could possibly do justice to the shenanigannery I hast witnessed umphrey!
Snoogans775	Date: May 25, 2007 @ 6:10 AM yeah, they don't suck like folk amongst me who rationalizoprocrastinized to the last kegigger.
PrincessTast...	Date: May 25, 2007 @ 11:10 AM Whooo!
madhog	Date: May 25, 2007 @ 1:09 PM Woo! It's nice to win with that song - I think we were all pretty stoked to pull off something like that considering the babies, dead fish, and salad dressing garage sales we were all dealing with at the time. Thanks to everyone who voted and participated.. I think these community-driven song things are quite cool and I know we're always eager to try and participate in them. FAWM was pretty insane this year too.
ebarbarella	Date: May 25, 2007 @ 4:43 PM Congrats Halaka, very much decerved
fanch-t	Date: May 25, 2007 @ 8:30 PM thanks to all who voted and for all the kind words.
