Made exclusively with the sounds of the Commodore 64 MOS6581 Multi-SID
As its title suggests, 'Fuck You' is essentially a middle finger extending from the fist of a pop single—and a gloriously catchy Motown stomper of a pop single at that.
It felt nearly criminal to have this much fun in making a song into a Bitpop cover. Nice brassy arpeggios, fat bass, flute flourishes, oh fun fun fun! I crammed a lot into six sound channels. The trick is you can get away with a lot of substitutions when you layer vocals over the top.
Enjoy. Made with groovy love,
Gav.

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
