Story
I fell in love with this little tune the second I stumbled across it at HVSC. Its such a simple, happy little number, I could not resist giving it a remix. I didnt find out until later that it was actually the theme to a kids tv show I'd never heard of.

So here it is. Probably better as a daffy novelty tune than a serious remix, there's a lot of the sid sampled in there, mainly the bass and drums. A bit of rock n' roll guitar, a nice cheesy lead sample and some tremolo.

You'll either enjoy it, or want to burn it.😉

Edit: I stand corrected. According to Mahoney, this tune is actually music from a half-hour comedy show called Macken. Cheers for that info.

Our man with the guitar does a good job again. I have no idea what game this is remixed from, apparently a SID cover of some old kid's tv show. However, Maindrian manages to make a cheery little song that reminds me of the 90s
power pop/rock band Weezer (don't know what genre you'd call those guys). Lots of crunchy guitars and a speedy happy beat on it all.

1:49 of pure jollyness. A nice little tune here from maindrain thats a welcome addition, if nothing to light the embers much. It's simple but effective, the guitar segments are really well done giving a feel of The monkeys. anyone remember them?

Quite a 1:1 cover… ok, but nothing special.
There is not much to write, it does not fit for me, neither the original does.
