Remember Fountains of Wayne and how they faded off the face of the earth after the successful explosion of that "Stacy's Mom" song? If only they had waited a bit, they might have been able to maximize their earning potential as Sonoma Wireworks announces their RiffRumble X Online Song Collaboration Contest: Moms Rule!

$40 worth of flowers from 2Flowers.com's International Flower Delivery Service are up for grabs as well as $10 in RiffWorks Logo Items (t-shirts, guitar picks, stickers) for the winner as selected by participants. If you win by public popular vote, you'll take home just the latter prize.

Of course, I am going to dominate this contest, and to add insult to injury, I'm going to write my song about your mom. Now, I'm not a stickler for rules, but if you want to play it by the book to try and best me, here is a long list of submission rules courtesy of RiffWorks.
