In 1989, the German voice of Tommi Piper released an album that was to change the face of the world forever. "ALF - Alles Paradiso" took the world of our hairy pal one stage further with his musings on relaxing, doing very little, hanging about and, of course, becoming leader of the country.

The tracks we look and listen at are from Side A of the original record and are:

ALF Wird Unser Bundeskanzler (ALF Becomes Our Chancellor)

Tujujahe (Es Tut So Wohl, Schön Faul Zu Sein) (Tujujahe (It's so good to be lazy))

ALF-Superstar (erm...ALF Superstar)

Leben Ist Gold (Life Is Gold)

ALF's Geburtstags-Boogie-Woogie (ALF's Birthday Boogie-Woogie)

Plus a look at the phenomena of ALF in Germany, who this Piper chap is and what these songs dont sound like despite the insistance of users on GermanCharts.de...
