What an awesome performance. I always liked the theme from ALF and could not understand why the producers never released the theme as a single. Thanks for posted. Bravo
Every 80's show had a distinct theme song. I actually forgot how good the ALF theme was even though the show was not so popular. American TV at its finest. Never will be this creative again, or as happy go lucky. Very good job on the keyboard man.
Thanks for your nice comment. I guess it took about 2-3 weeks, on and off, to transcribe the original audio, create the MIDI file and record the video.
I had the tapes of ALF and loved the intro music. I would rewind it just for that one minute. And one thing that got hacked into my mind was the slap bass in the background. And it's even in this rendition! Not sure about the muted guitar, but I love those little details that are like the fine spice in a soup.
Welp, I've now watched a lounge act version of an 80's sitcom. COVID-19 has brought me to this. Excellent composition though. great playing. Much appreciated.
I revisit this video every time I revisit the original tune for Coliauta's hi hat work. What keeps me revisiting this video though is the extension of the form and the wonderful lead synth played here. The choice to play the head twice more than the original is tasteful as it's kept interesting by the delightful lead solo part (the synth guitar voice). The keyboard player delivers here and reminds me that ,while I enjoy the original for the Vinnie parts, the other instruments feature strongly in this theme
I particularly enjoyed that you used the pitch wheel and played "incorrect keys" while repitched to provide nuance and character to an instrument that doesn't normally sound very realistic when played using keys. Awesome performance!
Your extended version of this theme really kicks ass! The added electric guitar really makes it sound like a show that could have gone on into the early '90s with added cast members!
MONSTER! Is the anthem of my days. but not the original song. your version! I am very glad of heart. I send you a hug from an Argentine in Madrid! @FranMazz at tw
Excellent !! wonderfull !!...brillante !! rutilante!! extraordinario!! maravilloso !! ........ es el mejor arreglo de todos los que he escuchado !!...grande ALF, siempre en el recuerdo..
Some say Alf Clausen hired Vinnie Colaiuta and Abe Laboriel at the drums and bass to play drums and bass in this track, but I've always thought it was only the good ol' DX7. Good job!
Without question the best Tyros commercial ever.
The music to ALF is other worldly.I could listen to it a million times and not get tired.great childhood memories
same
same👍👍👍
Same😭 good times
This is my new party song! I ve alreDy listened to it lime 50 times in the past week
Same
One of the most beautiful bass lines.
Some say it's Abraham Laboriel, some Leland Sklar, others seem correct with Neil Stubenhaus. It's definitely Vinnie Colaiuta on drums though.
I could listen to this 24/7 and never get tired
Same here! This was brilliant!
I drummed to it
It's such a jazzy little tune. Bizarre for Alf, being what he was and all....yet....it fit in some way that defies explanation. I miss those times
OMG! How does this not have more views?! This is incredible!!

Almost makes me want to eat a cat.
GenTichy yum yum
Cats are delicious.
Alf wouldn't lie.....too often.
Ha
amazing.... brings tears to the eyes.... the 80s were a much better place.
80er 👍🇨🇭
I loved this show growing up, sad it ended there were only a few seasons. Great job on this cover for the song, I absolutely love It!

I love this song! It sounds so beautiful, dynamic and groovy.
Still totally in love with this tune after all these years from my childhood... And this performance, oh god...

It was SO popular here in Russia
@@o-ruff1483 It was very popular here in Sweden too! :)
@@rattis hehe it seems like the show was popular everywhere but the US :D
How in the world could 39 people dislike this maestro and the masterpiece.
They just jealous
This is a go to for me. Love this version. Right there with the 2 original themes. I am a sequencing nerd too and I really appreciate your work.
Nice performance - very close to the original
Outstanding performance!
I feel so nostalgic listening to this! I was a big fan of ALF, and watched his show as a little girl. Now I have the first two seasons of ALF on DVD.
Wow, you made me cry.
Thanks for your nice comment. I guess it took about 2-3 weeks, on and off, to transcribe the original audio, create the MIDI file and record the video.
You, kind sir, are an alien life form.....thank you for your VERY talented entertainment

This version is on Television's Greatest Hits Volume 6.
Excellent rendition of the classic theme! Thank you for sharing. :)
WOW!
That was beyond fantastic!
An excellent extended version of an awesome theme, played to perfection!
I have listened to the original tune a hundred times, and you got most of the notes right, with drums and bass especially! Great work!
Welp, I've now watched a lounge act version of an 80's sitcom. COVID-19 has brought me to this. Excellent composition though. great playing. Much appreciated.
Hahaha I totally agree Dude!!

Alf theme is a lovely tune. You are playing brilliant. Thank you for sharing! :)
Thank you so much for this. This somehow made me tear up. It's beautiful and it triggers warm memories.
You did a great job in nailing this theme! I Love ALF!
Sehr gut gespielt.
Thank you for bring us those memories back. It's awesome!

Vinnie Colaiuta is one of the greatest and that high-hat stands out every time. The accuracy and crispness of the snare too.
Greetings from London this has brought some good memories to me Thank you !
Thank you, really enjoyed that. Took me back a few years!!
Boy, does that brings back some memories! Very cool performance!
Wow, you are a gift! Thanks for that amazing song
Good evening and thank you for sharing this magnificent song
Nice use of the pitch wheel! Sounds amazing
I particularly enjoyed that you used the pitch wheel and played "incorrect keys" while repitched to provide nuance and character to an instrument that doesn't normally sound very realistic when played using keys. Awesome performance!
SO CLEAN!! i love it
Oh, that's very nicely played, Sir.
Your extended version of this theme really kicks ass! The added electric guitar really makes it sound like a show that could have gone on into the early '90s with added cast members!

Excelso. Puedo ver este video una y otra vez sin llegar al límite del cansancio.
Azombrosa mélodie que de si beaux souvenirs de cette série américaine.
Some say Alf Clausen hired Vinnie Colaiuta and Abe Laboriel at the drums and bass to play drums and bass in this track, but I've always thought it was only the good ol' DX7. Good job!
Apparently there is a German interview where Vinnie says it's Neil Stubenhaus.
I've always loved this theme in fact I like the intro from seasons one and two much better then from seasons three and four.
I can not stop listening !!!
that so beautiful
Wow, just wow. That is exactly PERFECT!
Can't believe it was 10 years ago when I first found this video. I still drop in every now and then and listen to it again.
Sounds great!!!!
