Week 22 - "ALF for President"

Lyrics:
My fellow Americans, are you looking for a change?
Well, so am I. That's why this November I'm casting my vote for ALF!

Vote a Melmacian for president because you know you really want to.
His fur may be the shade of burnt sienna, but his heart is red, white, and blue.
He may not be the greatest president we've ever had,
but compared to the other choices, he's not half bad.
So vote a Melmacian for president.
Though he crashed on Earth by accident, we know he was heaven-sent.
ALF for president!

ALF promises to all Americans a cat in every pot, an end to black bean soup, and change we can believe in - or at least change to which we can give the benefit of the doubt. Will he keep his promises? The only way to find out is to vote for ALF!

He may be short and furry and he has a giant snout,
but there'll never be a truer green-blooded American, there's no doubt.
So vote a Melmacian for president.
Though he crashed on Earth by accident, we know he was heaven-sent.
ALF for president!


One of my other projects is writing campaign updates for the ALF for President website - http://www.alfforpresident.org
This week, I brought the two projects together in writing ALF's campaign anthem!  I composed the music in a typical American march style.  It includes piano and three male vocals, plus the spoken parts, which were recorded separately.
