Behold the power of MySpace! I think H.L. Mencken put it best when he said "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."

So, without further ado, congratulations to Josh Hotchkin of The Shitty Wizards! His song, "Zomby Gurl," was the clear winner!

According to the The Shitty Wizards MySpace site, the band was "formed in the spring of 2004 by long time friends Josh Hotchkin and Jason Wickman. The name Shitty Wizards was taken from a line on a Seattle Public Access television show called The Jerkbeast. The line was, 'Thats not Jesus, thats just a shitty wizard.' Although there are no definite plans for new works under the name The Shitty Wizards, the possibility is never distant or ruled out."

Hailing from Newton, Iowa, Hotchkin says that the Zombie Song-Off "may not be a big deal in the scheme of things, but I just want for there to exist somewhere a document that says there was a zombie song contest, and I won it!"

Not only does he get to hold the title of 2006 Pieces of Flair Zombie Song-Off winner, but he gets to take home a lovely prize package of indeterminate contents. AWESOME! Will this victory lead to a duet with PoF Robot Song-Off Winner Lesley Braden of Sequin Socks? All we can do is dream.

Victor Lams came in second place with "Deadly Friend," and Tom Smith's "Zombie Blues" came in third.

Honorable mentions go out to "Zombie garden" by Niko, "Zomboni" by Markleford and "I Heart Zombies" by The Rigormorticians.

Thanks to all that participated!
