I'm a fighter, not a quitter but... I GIVE UP. I put my life savings into writing, professionally recording and mastering my CDs. The members of OurStage.com rank my award winning songs in the bottom 10%. I don't think I'm being egotistical to say, after listening to EVERY SONG in the "comedy" catagory dozens of times each, that I do NOT belong in the bottom 10%. You can't even understand the lyrics in some of the songs in the home recordings ranked above mine. SO... I can only conclude that artists are voting for themselves AND block voting AND voting using multiple accounts. Doesn't that make the victory seem hollow?

Ah... what a cute song. I really like this...

"I Tricked Nick"

VERSE
You've all met Santa, but did anyone know?
Sometimes he takes along his nephew Nicky in tow.
Only twenty-0ne and a face full of fun.
The minute we met, I had to get me some!

CHORUS

I tricked Nick into thinkin' I'm good. I tricked Nick into thinkin' I would.
Pick a toy, when he offered a gift, but when he got near, I whispered in his ear.

Nick, Nick, kiss me quick. Nick, Nick, Nick, your kiss is what I pick.
Nick, Nick, you better make it stick. I know you gotta' go, but I'll warm you from the cold.

VERSE
He smiled ... looked away. How cute! He was shy.
But I knew he was game by the twinkle in his eye.
Then this flirt tugged his shirt, an' I kept him from his work.
I grabbed his bag of toys and I laid one on the boy!

CHORUS
I tricked Nick into thinkin' I'm good. I tricked Nick into thinkin' I would.
Pick a toy, when he offered a gift, but I couldn't resist his merry little lips.

Nick, Nick, kiss me quick. Nick, Nick, Nick, your kiss is what I pick.
Nick, Nick, you better make it stick. I know you gotta' go, but I'll warm you from the cold.

BRIDGE (Instrumental)

VERSE
He was shocked to his socks, as he grinned at the floor.
Retreatin' and repeatin' it was quarter to four.
He blushed, as he rushed, then confessed as he left,
"I better hike it up the chimney. Uncle Santa's gonna' skin me!"

Nick, Nick, kiss me quick. Nick, Nick, Nick, your kiss is what I pick.
Nick, Nick, you better make it stick. I'll be good next year, if you kiss me over there!

CHORUS
I tricked Nick into thinkin' I'm good. I tricked Nick into thinkin' I would.
Pick a toy, when he offered a gift, but I couldn't resist his merry little lips.

Nick, Nick, kiss me quick. Nick, Nick, Nick, your kiss is what I pick.
Nick, Nick, you better make it stick. I have kisses to give, an' you know where I live ...
