Erik Seidel

Who is Erik Seidel?

Some would say he's a god amongst men. Some would say he's a force of nature. Others would say he's just some guy that lived on D.I. Prime's kid brother's dormitory hall. Kernels of truth can be found in all those statements. But enough about Erik - you can listen to the song if you want to know more about him. This is D.I. Prime's site. We return you to your regularly scheduled ego-centric rambling...

The story

The genesis of this song dates back to October of 1999 when Erik was running for South Quad's Hunt House treasurer. D.I. Prime determined that Erik needed a theme song to win the election... but he never got past writing a few lines. Prime's assumption was conclusively proven wrong when Erik triumphed in the election without the aid of musical propaganda. Still, ideas continued to germinate in Prime's head. Months later, he finally came up with enough stuff to do a whole song. Did Erik win the election in spite of not having a theme song or did Erik win because he didn't have this theme song? The world will never know.
