Who knows what drama will arise on Tuesday here in the U.S. with the presidential election. I have been organizing my song writing notes as I get ready to work on new material and I stumbled across “The Ballad of the Dimpled Chad.” saved in an old Quark XPress file. “Dimpled Chad” is a novelty song I wrote but never released in the heady days of 2000. (I didn’t release it because it didn’t match the album of children’s songs I was recording at the time.)
You recall that Al Gore won the popular vote but the battle for the White House came down to a couple of Supreme Court decisions about whose votes really counted in which counties in Florida.
Enjoy the lyrics, and do go out and vote (If you haven’t already!)
