You Can Call Me Al [ Bitpop Chiptune ] - Tribute to Paul Simon 04:33
lyrics
buy track
A man walks down the street He says, "Why am I soft in the middle, now? Why am I soft in the middle? The rest of my life is so hard I need a photo-opportunity I want a shot at redemption Don't want to end up a cartoon In a cartoon graveyard" Bonedigger, Bonedigger Dogs in the moonlight Far away in my well-lit door Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly Get these mutts away from me You know, I don't find this stuff amusing anymore If you'll be my bodyguard I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty And Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al A man walks down the street He says, "Why am I short of attention? Got a short little span of attention And, whoa, my nights are so long Where's my wife and family? What if I die here? Who'll be my role model Now that my role model is gone, gone?" He ducked back down the alley With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl All along, along There were incidents and accidents There were hints and allegations If you'll be my bodyguard I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty And Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al Call me Al A man walks down the street It's a street in a strange world Maybe it's the third world Maybe it's his first time around Doesn't speak the language He holds no currency He is a foreign man He is surrounded by the sound, the sound Cattle in the marketplace Scatterings and orphanages He looks around, around He sees angels in the architecture Spinning in infinity He says, "Amen and Hallelujah!" If you'll be my bodyguard I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty And Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al Call me Na na na na, na na na na Na na na na, na na na-na na-na Na na na na, na-na na-na na na Na na na na, na na na na If you'll be my bodyguard I can call you Betty If you'll be my bodyguard I can call you Betty If you'll be my bodyguard

Sleeping Satellite [ Bitpop Chiptune ] - Tribute to Tasmin Archer 04:07
lyrics

I blame you for the moonlit sky And the dream that died With the eagles' flights I blame you for the moonlit nights When I wonder why Are the seas still dry Don't blame this sleeping satellite Did we fly to the moon too soon? Did we squander the chance? In the rush of the race The reason we chase is lost in romance And still we try To justify the waste For a taste of man's greatest adventure I blame you for the moonlit sky And the dream that died With the eagles' flights I blame you for the moonlit nights When I wonder why Are the seas still dry Don't blame this sleeping satellite Have we got what it takes to advance? Have we peaked too soon? If the world is so great Then why does it scream under a blue moon? We wonder why If the earth's sacrificed For the price of its greatest treasure I blame you for the moonlit sky And the dream that died With the eagles' flights I blame you for the moonlit nights When I wonder why Are the seas still dry Don't blame this sleeping satellite And when we shoot for the stars What a giant step Have we got what it takes To carry the weight of this concept? Or pass it by Like a shot in the dark Miss the mark with a sense of adventure I blame you sleeping satellite I blame you for the moonlit sky And the dream that died With the eagles' flights I blame you for the moonlit nights When I wonder why Are the seas still dry Don't blame this sleeping satellite Don't blame this sleeping satellite

A View to a Kill [ Bitpop Chiptune ] - Tribute to Duran Duran 03:36
lyrics

Meeting you with a view to a kill Face to face in secret places, feel the chill Nightfall covers me, but you know the plans I'm making Still overseas, could it be the whole Earth opening wide A sacred why, a mystery gaping inside A week is why, until we Dance into the fire That fatal kiss is all we need Dance into the fire To fatal sounds of broken dreams Dance into the fire That fatal kiss is all we need Dance into the fire The choice for you is the view to a kill Between the shades assassination standing still Earth's crystal tears, the fall of snowflakes on your body First time in years to drench your skin in lover's rosy stain A chance to find the phoenix for the flame A chance to die, but can we Dance into the fire That fatal kiss is all we need Dance into the fire To fatal sounds of broken dreams Dance into the fire That fatal kiss is all we need Dance into the fire When all we see is the view to a kill

Working Class Man [ Bitpop Chiptune ] - Tribute to Jimmy Barnes 03:05
lyrics

Working hard to make a living Bringing shelter from the rain A father's son left to carry on Blue denim in his vein Oh oh oh, he's a working class man Well he's a steel town disciple He's a legend of his kind He's running like a cyclone Across the wild mid western sky Oh oh oh, he's a working class man He believes in god and Elvis He gets out when he can He did his time in Vietnam Still mad at Uncle Sam He's a simple man With a heart of gold In a complicated land Oh he's a working class man Well he loves a little woman Someday he'll make his wife Saving all the overtime For the one love of his life He ain't worried about tomorrow 'Cause he just made up his mind Life's too short for burning bridges Take it one day at a time Oh oh oh, he's a working class man Oh oh oh, he's a working class man Oh yeah Yes he is Well he's a working class man Oh Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma I tell you he's a working class man Working class Working class man Yes he is Working class Working class man I want to tell you he's a working class man Working class Working class man Ma ma ma Working class Working class man I got to tell you he's a working class man Working class Working class man Working class Working class man I tell you he's a working class man Working class Working class man Working class Working class man I tell you he's a working class man Working class Working class man (know he is) Working class Working class man I tell you he's a working class man

Uptown girl She's been living in her uptown world I bet she's never had a backstreet guy I bet her mama never told her why I'm gonna try for an uptown girl She's been living in her white bread world As long as anyone with hot blood can And now she's looking for a downtown man That's what I am And when she knows What she wants from her time And when she wakes up And makes up her mind She'll see I'm not so tough Just because I'm in love with an uptown girl You know I've seen her in her uptown world She's getting tired of her high class toys And all her presents from her uptown boys She's got a choice Uptown girl You know I can't afford to buy her pearls But maybe someday when my ship comes in She'll understand what kind of guy I've been And then I'll win And when she's walking She's looking so fine And when she's talking She'll say that she's mine She'll say I'm not so tough Just because I'm in love With an uptown girl She's been living in her white bread world As long as anyone with hot blood can And now she's looking for a downtown man That's what I am Uptown girl She's my uptown girl You know I'm in love With an uptown girl My uptown girl You know I'm in love With an uptown girl My uptown girl You know I'm in love With an uptown girl My uptown girl You know I'm in love With an uptown girl

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic [ Bitpop Chiptune ] - Tribute to The Police 04:23
lyrics

Though I've tried before to tell her Of the feelings I have for her in my heart Every time that I come near her I just lose my nerve As I've done from the start Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on Do I have to tell the story Of a thousand rainy days since we first met It's a big enough umbrella But it's always me that ends up getting wet Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reach the phone Long before my tongue has tripped me Must I always be alone? Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on [Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on Every little thing Every little thing Every little thing Every little thing Every little Every little Every little Every little thing she does Every little thing she does Every little thing she does Every little thing she does Thing she does is magic Every little thing Every little thing Every little thing she does is magic magic magic Magic magic magic Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on

Gavin (zer0Page) Graham Brisbane, Australia

I was a demoscene programmer back in the 80s on the Commodore 64 computer. Part of what I did was write a sound player to exploited tricks to make its sound chip to some conceptually far fetched tricks.
Years later, I've revived my musical bent for the C64 but now I combine modern songs with these sounds of one of the greatest sounding computers of any generation. ... more
