Working Class Man [ Bitpop Chiptune ] - Tribute to Jimmy Barnes

from Bitpop 18 by zer0Page

/

about

Made with the sounds of the Commodore 64 SID Chip (6 Channels)

A true Aussie classic of a song. It first appeared on the 1985 album "For the Working Class Man" and was the first single released from the album. The single spent 14 weeks in the Australian charts, entering at #21 and peaking at #5. It also spent seven weeks in the New Zealand charts, peaking at #34.

It may not have been a big hit overseas but I hope you enjoy it if you're not familiar with this song.

Made with ♥
Gavin

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

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
