With his most recent song, ‘Elected’, Beldon Haigh has returned with another hit. This sarcastic anthem blends pop, rock, and punk elements. Despite the complexity of today’s political discourse, this tune encourages listeners to actively participate in voting by telling a story of political disenchantment via music.
The song, which was created decades ago and was first sung by Falkirk’s Breakfast Boyz, comes back into style in 2024 with a touch of nostalgia and contemporary relevancy. A fictitious politician from the Moon on a Stick party is shown begging for votes in the song video, which is set in Falkirk High Street. The band supports him, dressing in hyper-realistic masks of prominent politicians from across the world to provide a humorous and critical element.
Beldon Haigh’s latest work entertains as well as thought-provoking and political engagement-promoting. This song seeks to inject some humour and happiness into the political process as the parties participate in their campaigns and the inevitable heated disputes that follow.
With songs that provoke, satirise, and demand a return to values like justice, community, and compassion, Beldon Haigh has long used his music to comment on societal issues, ranging from consumerism to the desire for simpler times. This is one song you won’t want to miss!
