What a wonderful contest! And its so much fun to read the jingles!

Well, here's my try :roll:

Original song:

SIMversion:

Who's the leader of the SIM
That's made for you and me?
E-M-I-L-plus-Y She's-the-head-lady

Buy there! Breed here! Race where?
We're as busy as can be!
E-M-I-L-plus-Y She's-the-head-lady

Emily!
(David Shields)

Emily!
(David Shields)

Forever may our 'Chasers all jump
High! High! High! High!

Come along and sing a song
Join the community!
E-M-I-L-plus-Y She's-the-head-lady

In the new SIM
Like the old SIM
We'll have fun
And show our paces.

We'll breed champs and
We'll win races.
All around the world
We're shipping.

Who's the leader of the SIM
That's made for you and me?
E-M-I-L-plus-Y She's-the-head-lady

Buy there! Breed here! Race where?
We're as busy as can be!
E-M-I-L-plus-Y She's-the-head-lady

Emily!
(David Shields)

Emily!
(David Shields)

Forever may our 'Chasers all jump
High! High! High! High!

Come along and sing a song
Join the community!
E-M-I-L-plus-Y She's-the-head-lady

Can I just say how creative you all are? It took me forever to do that Brady Bunch one! I didn't expect such amazing responses, it's going to be hard to chose my top 5 and the contest isn't even close to being over.

For myself, the hardest part was in coming up with the song/jingle to use as a basis.

But once I settled, I had so much fun writing mine -- and the contest is so great -- I thought I would list some of the other ideas I ran across in the hopes of sparking off some more entries.

I also thought about:

I just meandered over to this for no reason and I was like Wait... why am I in here so much? Ahaha this contest RULES!

Tim, I just want you to know that the car I came home from college in had a license plate that said SIMGDSS

Simsters...Meet the Simsters,
They're a horse racing family.
From the site of SimHorse,
They're a page right on the internet.
Let's ride with the pack down the track.
Through the courtesy of Em's great knack.
When you're with the SIMsters,
you'll have a regular post time,
a winning good time,
you'll have a neigh old time.


Based on The Flintstones theme song.

I had a hard time with this, there were a lot of possible songs, but I ended up going with this one.

From the theme to Mr. Roger's Neighborhood

It's a beautiful day for a horse race
A beautiful day for a SIM
Would you join ours
Could you join ours

Breed, bet, race, sell and buy
Come on and give it a try
Would you join ours
Could you join ours

I have always wanted to own a stable just like this
I have always wanted to be a part of a great SIM

So let's make this great SIM even greater
Since it has everything you might as well join
Would you join ours
Could you join ours
Won't you join our SIM
Won't you please,
Won't you please,
Please won't you join, our SIM

Thanks so much everyone for participating! I've picked my favorites and you can go vote for yours over at viewtopic.php?f=19&t=11749. Once the poll is over I'll be contacting the winners to see which yearlings they want and then I'll come back and get everyone else so everyone gets a horse!

Thank you so very much, Lauren!

So many lovely foals to choose from! Chord looks extremley good as a sire -- hopefully, we'll all do him proud.

And your contest was so much fun, and so original. It was fun to do and even more fun to read; I know I keep checking back to look for new entries and even to enjoy revisiting previous ones.

Great contest :D

I'm sorry Melissa, I really probably should have posted the list. What I did was I picked a number (10) then I used a random number generator to assign everyone a number. The first few people on the list I've already deleted but here's the rest:

Happy Trails – 52
Melissa Mae – 55
Angus Clab – 57
Iggy Timeeczech – 60
Bryan Doolittle – 66
Chani Ruzzo – 72
Drunken Skunk – 89
