Covers that you thought were original C64 tunes..
Back in the eighties/early nineties I was a HUGE nerd that never went 'out' or listened to music or whatever the cool kids did (OK, all of the aforementioned still applies, but.. :D)
That meant that pretty much the only music I listened to came from the glorious SID chip. In the years since there has been many occasions where I've heard a tune on the radio/TV/mp3 and gone "WOW! They made a cover of the tune from demo X" and then a second later "Uhmm.. wait a minute.. it was probably the other way around".
Some notable examples:
* Domino Dancing / Pet Shop boys. I thought this was a C64 original up until I heard it on the radio a couple of years ago :D
* The tune from some Success demo, turned out to be a Koto cover
* The superb introtune from Partytrap. It was not until I read the comments here on CSDB that I realized it was a cover.
OK, am I the only one who has experienced this? :D |

I really don't wanna fiddle with torrents nor crapid-share. Can someone provide me some hosting? |

some of the c64 ftp sites could host it probably, and I think I'm not alone who would like to dl it. |

Most tunes by Hubbard.
"Two Divided by Zero" by Trond. I was also very surprised as Stainless Steel on this one.
Xpiose intro tune by Nordic Beat. I do not know who did the original but I have heard it in a restaurant. (BTW, this one is not in STIL yet. Other tunes from the same SID might be covers as well.)

Ok, I've got the collection here. It's 403230766 bytes zipped and it's called TOCI - "The Origin of C64 Inspiration".
Someone provide me an FTP and I'll up it immediately.

hehe no ;)
took me some years to realise that quite a few of TDMs tracks are covers, such as Live_in_Leningrad.sid or Eleanor_Rigby.sid .. hehe.
Another one most people will not know are the Spijkerhoek sids, of which Edwin van Santen's version probably is the best well known.. i loved this tune so much that I even bought the cd-single which is nothing else then a tune from a dutch tv-show back in those days :) |

As I grew up with pop music and 60s stuff as the Beatles or Stones I was often introduced to classical music first by playing all these old games 1982-1985 which often used classic stuff.
examples: Jet Set Willy, Gyruss, Friday the 13th, Sailing, Tales of the Arabian Nighs, Elite, Battle through Time
I still admire Rimsky-Korsakov. |
