It is not every ballot initiative that has its own hip-hop song.
Jeff Peckman, director of the extraterrestrial-affairs commission ballot initiative, launched a campaign to educate voters about the proposal Thursday evening at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds.
If the initiative passes Aug. 10, Denver must create a seven-member commission to collect evidence that extraterrestrials and UFOs have been visiting Earth.
“Pink UFO,” a song by Chris Steele of the hip-hop duo Calm, is dedicated to the campaign and includes the refrain:
“Pink UFO, Pink UFO, What truth do you know? What do you know?”
Other lyrics include:
“To politicians
We’re come’n atcha with a Pink UFO
Cuz you think we don’t know, that we’re really not alone
And about the
The cancer cure
You been hide’n for years
You don’t care about the people
losing money is your fear
People die, children cry, when governments lie
We all know there’s UFOs in the sky”
Peckman is hoping the song will popularize his cause: “We hope to get the message out that technology from extraterrestrial origins has been withheld and that it can cure cancer.” Tom McGhee, The Denver Post
