I’m trying to find that my commodore c64 song, do do do de da de do do do do do de da de do do, do do do de da de do do, do do do de da de do do a octave higher do do do de da de do do, Drums and cymbals kick in, Crash, bang crash bang,
The Commodore name is currently owned by Atari IIRC (Atari is the last remnant of Commodore as both companies were owned by the same guy)... but someone did try to make a Commodore-branded smartphone named after the PET. IIRC the fundraiser failed, sadly.
This is definitely my go-to song to have on in the background for when I plan to screw around with a SID chip in the near future. I can already see the montage in my head... Very nice remix!

Proud to say the first program I learned to write was in BASIC: the counting test program... And then I learned Python because it was 2018... rip me. I did wow a crowd with that BASIC program though: a bunch of kids were playing on an old C64 competitor of some kind, and I switched one over to BASIC. Typed the program in and looked like Hackerman for a minute in their eyes.
Basic was actually my second programming language. My first programming experience was a home built 8080 system made by my father. We used to hand assemble and use front key switch entry. My next experience was using basic on a PDP-11 via an ASR-33 teletype and then on a Tandy TRS-80 model 1 level 2 machine that we were allowed to borrow from the school. We then purchased a TRS-80 which I used for the next 7 years before moving over to PC.
I remember seeing this video/music presentation at the Commodore Booth at a computer show in 1982... Commodore was the big thing for affordable computer systems then... I had a C64 myself...
It's funny how many people always refer to it as a cheap computer like it's a low-quality machine when the commodore was very powerful for it's time for the price you pay. You could even expand the ram a little and add a gui to the system. The ibm 5150 costed soo much more, but I you don't really see ones with gui; just a green terminal screen. Although, some word processing software offer some really really crisp fonts for the ibm when the commodore looks all pixalated. But I think the ibm would need a text expansion thing for crisp text as well. I don't know. I've seen a picture on the web and it looked crisp. The commodore was a universal machine for such a cheap price.
@@robertnussberger2028 - Yes, I know... You could cover a lot of bases with a Commodore without getting your bank account cleaned out like you would for an Apple 2 or 3e, memory expansion, and appropriate peripherals, even before you were able to start running anything!
I totally didn’t get enough use out of mine. Not nearly enough games. Also it amuses me that I can emulate my commodore on my modded 3ds now. Or a cell phone. We’ve come a long way

You know the remix sounds really good and authentic when people are thinking this is the official extended version of that commercial jingle.
Thank you Dan

Wrong, it's from 1983. This is a remix that was released 2019.
Even in these dark times, I know the Commodore is keeping up with me.

I have not stopped listening to this for two weeks now, just this song, on loop, for hours.
I had no idea this was a full song. i just thought it was some catchy jingle to promote the C64. This is amazing.
it is not the original, only a remix. Have a look at the date on the image!
The commodore will always keeping up with me.
Steve Jobs never had a tune like this!
Because Apple was never this fun. :)
What about Apple 2 forever? :D
The Mac vs PC is an awesome jingle

If there was ever a song begging for a vaporwave remix, it's this.
Oh... Oh I'm tempted now. I do make vaporwave, and I do find that guitar solo fantastic...
Also we just went under lockdown again...
Set playback speed to 0.75... and get READY.

My first computer WAS INDEED a COMMODORE (a C-64), back in 1983. Getting a computer for the first time, was one of the MANY highlights of my life.
wait this is a banger
Wow, this is really catchy tune!
Thats the point!
that is the point, it was for an ad

Is that a threat?
My commodore is crying from happiness rn
Kick ass!
Waiting to hear this from a real Commodore
This is Cornelius Vanderbilt’s boss theme
Oh no! Is that... THE COMMADORDS?!
But seriously, are you keeping up with the commodore. 😏😏😏😏
This feels like the kind of song that would be used for show/movie about an AI uprising
The Commodore ALWAYS keeps up with you.

Best Remix so far.
Simply incredible
Okay. Now I want to hear this on a SID chip.

This is actually more 80s than the C64.
Im keeping up with the commodore in 2021 are you?
yep!
2023 and im still keeping up; even though were both starting to creak a bit.
still in 2021=)

Wasn't there a bad guy from Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go who was ironically named The Commodore?
