Don’t Bring Me Down [Bitpop/Chiptune] – Tribute to Electric Light Orchestra

8 bit Bitpop/Chiptune cover of the Electric Light Orchestra song, Don’t Bring Me Down – Made with the sounds of the Commodore 64 home computer.

This is another one of those songs I heard repeatedly while spending my 20 cent pieces at the Caloundra Amusement Centre (“Pinnie Parlour”).

I found that there was an unusual harmony between this song and the laser sound effects of Space Invaders.

Take On Me [Bitpop/Chiptune] – Tribute to AHa

8 bit Bitpop (Chiptune) cover of an awesome song by A-Ha, Take on Me. Made with the sounds of the Commodore 64 home computer.

I always liked the style of the C64 Musician, David Whittaker so I thought I’d do this classic 80s song in a quasi David Whittaker style.

This song has to be one of the top 5 defining songs of the 80s. The music video was awesome with how it blended reality with sketch art and was just as definitive as the music it supported.
