Here is the songlist with a few explanations from my previous post, Presidential Campaign 2012, Romney v Obama. I had fun writing the piece hope you enjoyed it!
Having to deal with political diatribe for months now, hopefully this post will offer you something positive out of the whole political process…new music to check out!
Scherzino Falsetto-A scherzo is a piece that was known to be composed in a light or jokingly style. Falsetto is a music term when men sing using only part of their voice..like the BeeGees when they sing really high. So I used the phrase “Scherzino Falsetto” as a little joke to those who don’t use their real voice(i.e. lying politicians)…
If you are unfamiliar with any of the songs check them out. Links to all the music are provided on the previous post.

Aaahh… I see. At least you didn’t use Corrosion of Conformity’s “Vote With a Bullet”. That would have been a bit much. 😉
