Dear Friends, Here is a song that may put you on the map if you are looking for new material. I originally wrote the song back in 2000 And kinda forgot about it until yesterday. It is based around the Whiffenpoof song circa 1909/1911. It was a Yale U. Sorority Song. I made a few lyric changes. If anybody is interested I can send a Song File on Cd. I can issue a Mechanical License and Publishing is also a possibility.
Here it is:
THE LOST CHAD SONG © 2000 Ray E. Strode
Pre Chorus
I'm a poor little Chad, that's lost It's way, Ba, Ba, Baa
To the tables down at Palm Beach, To the place where Lawyers dwell To the dear old counters, counting votes for Al,
Sing the Liberal, Law Ensemble, with their glasses raised on high, As all those votes are counted as the magic of those lawsuits, Cast their spell,
Yes the magic of of the counting for the Al we love so well, shall be waisted thru the morning and the rest,
We will serenade our Al, while life and voice shall last, Then we'll pass and be forgotten with the rest.
I'm a poor little Chad, who has\lost it's way, Ba, Ba, Baa. I'm a little lost Chad, who has gone astray, Ba, Ba, Baa.
Al, now you've gone off on a spree, am I doomed to count to eternity, Won't you have mercy on such as me, Ba, Ba, baa.

Was this in any way inspired by the whole so-called "hanging chads" episode during the 2000 election that effectively gave the nomination to George W. Bush?

Hi Ray, I think this is well written, and it flows fine but I'm not sure today's audience will get it anymore.

Kcorrect Beachnut, 79, The idea just came to me around the 2000 Presidential Election. When a good idea shows up, you have to grab it. Since nobody is doing anything of note this will come under the heading of US UNDERRATED SONGWRITERS! Right, Dave.
