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 |

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. |

Human League - Hard Times

Not sure if it was used in any game but it's in Commodore 64 Music Examples (subtune 8 in /MUSICIANS/H/Hubbard_Rob/Synth_Sample_III.sid) |

Wow, there are a lot of covers in there. I did not realize that in the past.
Funny to find out that subtune10, that was used in the famous Dynamic Duo intro, is the chorus of Human League's Do or die. |

I recently watched Koyaanisqatsi for the first time, and went "Heyyy...isn't that the Delta tune!?" |
