CasioTone Demo Songs - Night Birds

Keyboard: Casio CasioTone CT-370 (Can also be found on Casio's CSM-1 sound module)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in the 80's, having an electronic keyboard was a huge deal. You could entertain your guests at a party or simply fool around with the demo songs.

This song in particular was one of my favourites from the old CasioTone line of keyboards. It's a cover of a song by the group "Shakatak" named, Night Birds. I know that some Yamaha keyboards also had this one as a demo song, but the Casio version sounds better in my opinion.

No copyright infringement intended. Original song by Shakatak (1982), cover version by Casio (Late 1980's)

This was perhaps my first ever 'favorite song' (the CT-370 version) when I was 4---nearly 20 years ago now. I used to push that demo button over and over. I'm really surprised to see it here. I don't think I ever knew about the song's origin.

I used to do that too on my cousin's keyboard... There was this one time on our beach house that we put the keyboard outside and I pretended I was playing the song; I was 5 around that time and the people walking down to the beach thought I was doing a show and stopped to saw me play!

Thank you so much for this!!! This song encompasses a lot of childhood piano memories for me. I'd totally forgotten about it until my sister called me up tonight and asked me how the tune on our keyboard went, and I couldn't remember it! All I remembered was that we had a Casio, so I was going through all of the Youtube Casio Demo song videos until I found this one!

Cheers!!

I think I got kicked out of RadioShack once or twice as a child for incessantly hitting "Demo" and playing this over and over.

Just spent an annoying 20 minutes or so trying to find this track somewhere on the Internet. Yay! :-)  The Keyboard I had as a kid had this as a built in demo. Can't remember which Casio variant it was. Thanks for posting!

This song brought back SO many good memories. Prior to watching this, I never knew its name, and forgot about it. Thanks for posting this.

Also, is it just me, or does the Casio logo in the video look like the Geico logo?

My friend bought this keyboard just for this Demo so he can hear it anytime, true story.

I used to play this years ago (like 5 years ago lol) when I was a kid and pretend like I was playing this song. I would dance to it lol.

@XPogaX Wow sounds alot like me, today for some reason I started humming some of the tune in my head and was like "where did that come from" next thing you know I wanted to see if I could find a copy of this song. My father owned an old casio (I wonder if it still works)? Back when I was 5 or younger (i am 21 now) I would listen to this over and over, I think I have an older version cause the vehcle sounds and rushing water, those didn't exist in the one I listened to. Need to remake this in APB
