Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to take a look at the entries to Challenge 2. I'll try to do so before the deadline.
Challenge 1: Like Birthe, I was tempted to divide my vote in fourths. Bob's is closest to the original in tone and spirit. Julie's is the most delightfully off-the-wall: Ricky Ricardo driving a hot rod! Catherine's R-rated romp gets the Ogden Nash award for the foreplay/doorway rhyme . But it's Birthe's " My Honey Bunny" that won my heart. "Honey bunny" for "cielito lindo" alone should get an extra point. She is a writer of children's songs, and I think it shows, in her playfulness and humor and whimsy. So, after much agonizing, I vote for:
Birthe - "My Honey Bunny"
BTW, I agree with Birthe that it would be good to bring in critters from the outside world. Martin, what do you think about posting invitations on the other forums to weigh in on this competition?
