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 |

A more accurate cover of "Rydeen" was done by David Dunn and Martin Galway in "Daley Thompson's Decathlon". |

Yep, true! But it sounds less cool! ;) |

Quote: I just recently found out that Pie Tree by Ben Daglish is a cover of Rydeen by Yellow Magic Orchestra!
I've ever liked that tune. ;)
He has also covered La Femme Chinoise by Y.M.O.! Nice that they even has the album-art in the Here We Go-demo!
WE M.U.S.I.C. 5
I was quite amazed when i heard the originals!
i wouldn't exactly call that one being a cover of rydeen, only the first 2 notes sound equal =) |

There are somewhat more like 2 notes that are equal, but second part is not 100% note for note,
it's maybe more like a remix.
All in all it's alot faster and has a harsher edge to it, but when i heard the original, i had that tune in my ear immediately.

Back when Metal made the Cream tune, I actually thought it was his own composition. It was only when I added his C64 music to our web site not long ago that I discovered the truth (it was actually an Amiga DMU tune composed by Ramon Braumüller). |

Anyone knows the original from the cover in this release?
Party Life
I know the song, it's some popsong from the late 80s/early 90s, but i need to know how it's called and who's the artist.
Would also be interesting to know who did the C64-cover. |
