This is even better than the original.

[5winston]

this is awful.

[MorfGworfmim]

I'm not really a big bowie fan but if I keep listening to his songs like this, then it will probably end up happening :D

[zomzgwtf]

My name is Mario. I had an accident and I woke up in the mushroom kingdom. Am I mad? Eaten too many mushrooms? Or stepped on some fire? Whatevers happened, it's like I've landed on an old console. Now maybe if I can find Bowser...

I can get home.

[XspottedclawX]

@jimothy183 OMFG YES

but the bbc original plz :3

[ezekieloak]

@zomzgwtf Best youtube comment ever. I laughed.

[themanfromparis]

i am sorry, nearly each bar contains a mistake in the length of the last note. listen on the original: it is, f.e.

it's a god awful small affair- where "fair" is the full last forth. you add one note that does not belong there, as if it would be: Its a god awful small - x - affair. result: the sillyble"fair" is pushed to the first forth of the following bar (F7, here). thus the draft of the song gets lost.

[fiutare1]

ur absolutely right.

[themanfromparis]

@fiutare1, see, and I am not even a native english speaker

[hihihippl]

@themanfromparis hmm.... i see.... and they should have added an arpeggio onto the last pianoforte in the 5th measure! Good Heavens! *twiddles mustache and adjusts monocle*

[themanfromparis]

@hihihippl - you have humor, congr! but you do not know about music, especially rockn roll and rock, in which sonce half a century the beat and the groove is provoked and determined by implanting a syllible that we usually would have on the start of acoming bar on the end of the before instead. compare. "she's the one".f.e.

it is the exakt contrary to military marches f.e., where this is never done and thus produces that well known stupidity. got it, Sir?

[hihihippl]

@themanfromparis totes bro.

[themanfromparis]

@hihihippl - "totes bro"? is that a swedish poem? or an english breakfast speciality? it sounds, erm, like you were interrupted in the middele of the typing of a sensible sentence. very mysterious, indeed. okay: "it's a tre

[hihihippl]

@themanfromparis swedish poem.

[DrBreakfastMachine]

If David Bowie: The Game existed, this would be the end credits music.

[ronvins]

@DrBreakfastMachine There should be a David Bowie game. DAVID BOWIE ROCKBAND!

[gearlockT]

@DrBreakfastMachine you are so right..

[turdsniper]

wow, this incredibly well made, too bad Bowie never made a video game

[trollmaster02235]

Ahah that's great !

[gaktus]

This is a bizarre idea. That song is ike.....holy ground....But somehow you figured it out. :-)....Damn' you.

[ar0076106187]

lol xDD, amazing sound!

[EnormeNuez]

This is great!

[Bananinasdasd]

epic win

[gruntsbaneook]

Thanks! (:

I'm trying that now.

Going to sound hilarious on a Hong kong MTR.

[gruntsbaneook]

Perfect ringtone (:

Would there be any way to make this into a nogalistic and camp wonder joyfully blaring on the subway?

[clackclickbang]

I may well have to take you up on that offer. I will be in touch!

Matt

[themanfromparis]

pritty nice. but nearly all the syllaballs in the verses that have to hit as offbeats on the last 8th or 4th notes (fair..hair...no... go....seen dream) are here placed an 8th too late. the belong BEFORE the COMING verse. NOT into it

[abxurd]

I THOUGHT there was something wrong with this

[clackclickbang]

This is pretty fantastic. I do a bunch of gaming reviews on youtube, and will be branching into let's play video games style reviews too, for which this kind of music would be brilliant. If you're interested in lending your talents to a project, let me know.

[passionrice]

I love this! Great work!

[hommyhom]

Great song. Please keep the great 8-bit tracks coming.
