Clearly I selected to record this cover from Alice Cooper as it is an election year in the United States of America. It was super-fun to get my son Erik to come down to the library and sing his vocal parts and have him see how his old man was recording some of these tracks in the children's section of our local public library. Dan Konopka (OKGo) told me he had a lot of fun recording his drum parts in Los Angeles. Hopefully Alice Cooper will dig this fun, dirty, and raw interpretation of his great song. When I was a kid, my aunt and her then-husband were fans of Alice so this is also somewhat of a tribute to them.
lyrics
I’m your top prime cut of meat, I’m your choice. I want to be elected! I’m your Yankee doodle dandy in a gold Rolls Royce. I want to be elected! Kids want a savior, don’t need a fake. I want to be elected! We’re all gonna rock to the rules that I make. I want to be elected! Elected, elected, respected, elected!
I never lied to you, I’ve always been cool. I want to be elected! I gotta get the vote, and I told you ‘bout school. I want to be elected, elected, elected. Hallelujah, I want to be selected by
Everyone in the United States of America.
We’re gonna win this one, take the country by storm. We’re gonna be elected! You and me together, young and strong, We’re gonna be elected, elected, elected, Respected, selected, call collected, I want to be elected!
