User:Specialist290/Channel 4 News

Channel 4 News is a song composed by Specialist290 to the tune of Here Is The News, by the Electric Light Orchestra. It holds the distinction of being his first non-Beatles-based "public release," though not his first non-Beatles-based composition (the honor in that case going to We Keep Them On, another ELO-based song).

The song itself is told from the point of view of an anonymous Anchorman at the Channel 4 News Team reporting on the news of the day, particularly centering on the events of what appears to be a Mall siege. The brief interlude featuring the anchor saying "We want, you back, Ron" seems to be a reference to popular sentiment involving the disappearance of Ron Burgundy from the public eye of Urban Dead.

Lyrics

Channel 4 News
(to the tune of "Here Is the News," by the Electric Light Orchestra)

Channel 4 News,
Coming to you every hour on the hour.
(Channel 4 News)
The Mall is fine, but the NT needs 'cades and power.

Channel 4 News,
A cure's been found for the good ol' zombie plague.
(Channel 4 News)
Someone just PKed the Mayor and got away...

*instrumental / "announcement" segment*

Channel 4 News,
We're off again to Glorious Battle!
(Channel 4 News)
Do your worst, zeds--we're never rattled!

*second instrumental / "announcement" segment*

Channel 4 News...
We want you back, Ron, we want our Anchor back.
Channel 4 News...
We all want you back!

Channel 4 News,
Zombie hordes have breached the Mall and NecroTech, too.
(Channel 4 News)
Be very careful, or they might get you!

*final instrumental / "announcement" segment*

Channel 4 News!
Channel 4 News! (repeat to fade...)
