Remembering Alf Clausen 1941-2025

Music composer Alf Clausen has died at 84. He was the music composer on the coincidentally named Alf (NBC 1986-1990). In addition to the theme music, he did the music played during the show and songs (he did Alf's rock video song "You're the One Who's Out of This World"). Still one of my all-time favorite shows! Also sad is that in the last year we lost Alf alumni cast member Benji Gregory, writer Mitzi McCall, writer David Steven Cohen, and writer Steve Pepoon. A few years later Clausen did some of the music for Alf creator Paul Fusco's animated series Spacecats (NBC 1991-92).

Clausen's sheet music of the Alf theme

Clausen won some Emmy Awards for his work on The Simpsons. He did music composition on 596 episodes between 1990 and 2017. Other notable music contributions include Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Naked Gun and TV's Moonlighting (ABC 1985-1989).
