Superstition [Bitpop/Chiptune] – Tribute to Stevie Wonder – Made with C64 Driver/Samples & DAW (6 Channels)
I started doing a cover of Stayin’ Alive by my ex-neighbours, The Bee Gees but the bass riff morphed into Superstition so I gave up fighting it and decided to do Superstition instead.

Kyrie [Bitpop/Chiptune] – Tribute to Mr. Mister – Made with C64 Driver/Samples & DAW
I was originally going to do this one with vocals but after trying to wedge the vocals in I thought, how would it go just as an instrumental. Maybe a few Galway-esque lead instruments…. Hmmmmm. Yeah, to hell with the vocals. 🙂

I Want to Break Free [Bitpop/Chiptune] – Tribute to Queen – Made with C64 sound driver & DAW
Made with the sounds of the Commodore 64 – 6 Channels
I wanted to do this one as a bit of a Rob Hubbard and Martin Galway hybrid in its feel. I don’t know if I’ve pulled it off bit I hope so.
Queen have gotta be my favourite band back in the 80s when I was growing up. I went back into their 70s stuff at the same time because they fascinated me with their “virtuoso” approach to music.

Just Can’t Get Enough was made with the sounds of the Commodore 64 8bit home computer – 6 channels
Made with the sounds of the Commodore 64 – 6 Channels
I remember when I was friends with this guy I went to college with saying that “this should be my anthem”. He said that as a devout Christian making an unfounded assumption about my sexuality as being a promiscuous person. Haha. Boy, did he get that wrong! – I don’t consider it a bad thing if you do run wild and free, btw. More power to you!
Still, this song just brings back a memory.

Mony Mony [Bitpop/Chiptune] was made with the sounds of the Commodore 64 – 6 Channels
“Mony Mony” means nothing – literally nothing. In the late ’60s, Tommy James and the Shondells crafted the tune as a party song, with an emphasis on the beat and little thought given to the shout-along nonsense lyrics. Was “Mony” a girl? Was “Mony” a command? Was this a secret reference? Actually, none of the above. It was an acronym for the Mutual of New York Insurance Company (M-O-N-Y), whose illuminated sign gave James the idea for the title of the 1968 hit.
But to William Michael Albert Broad – better known as Billy Idol – “Mony Mony” always meant sex. That’s because when young William was 14, he lost his virginity in a public park via a tumble with a more experienced partner. He recalled in his autobiography, Dancing With Myself: “As we went at it, ‘Mony Mony’ by Tommy James and the Shondells was playing on someone’s transistor radio nearby…”

8 bit Bitpop (Chiptune with vocals and effects) of Justin Timberlake’s Can’t Stop the Feeling – Made with the sounds of the Commodore 64 home computer.
Every song a hit – every hit a smack! This song absolutely blew up on a massive scale when it first came out.
It was quite fun to do although arduous at the same time. lol
