Elected in documentary

Post by MrD Returns » Mon Mar 23, 2015 5:58 pm

I was watching a documentary called "Citizen Koch" on Netflix last night when about a third of the way into it "Elected" was used as background music. Fit perfectly by the way.

I waited to watch the credits and it was listed as "Elected" written by Mike Bruce, Glen Buxton, Alice Cooper, Dennis Dunaway, Neala Smith.

If you'll notice I did not misspell Neal's name, that's the way it was shown in the credits. I'll bet Neal is pissed.

Not sure if this had been mentioned here before but it's the first I've heard of it.

The movie itself is about how extraordinary amounts of money have undermined the democratic process here in the US. Very interesting. Surprised they didn't use "Billion Dollar Babies" as well.
When I die I hope I'm surrounded by burning gas and shattered chrome.

I agree--spell it anyway you want--just be sure to spell it correctly on the pay check!

From mr.barlow:
"just be sure to spell it correctly on the pay check!"

It may be that his name was listed as Neal Allen Smith, so it might just be a typing error of some kind.

That's what I figured. I have to look at how the credits are listed on album but I believe it was Neal A. Smith. Whoever was in charge of the credits on the movie must've fat-fingered it and put Neala instead of Neal A.

Anyway it was cool when the song started playing in the movie. I wasn't expecting that because I had no idea that it was there to start with.

Did anyone here know it was there?

Here is the trailer on YouTube and "Elected" is in the trailer.
I was looking for a clip of the segment with it but this is all I found.
