VHF (audio)

VHF stands for "Very Harrison Ford" and is a collection of original music written and performed by Martie Benedict that has a focus of the characters portrayed by Harrison Ford, as well as some general science fiction themes.
Some of the music was rated "R" for occasional strong language and sexual situations.
From the accompanying print zine, VHF: The Complete Book of Lyrics: "Ever know a man who made you feel like singing?"
From Benedict:
