Authenticity issue

I just listened to the Lazy Jones chiptune, and found out it does not contain the Commodore 64 SID noise wave at any point. It is made entirely from the "natural" waves - triangle, sawtooth, and pulse - although I can't discern which is which. I believe this is unusual amongst Commodore 64 chiptunes that have made an impression that last to this day. JIP | Talk 20:22, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The tune is pure sawtooth, with a bouncing octave bassline, duplicated on the second channel, except when a melody note is played. 24.241.67.34 (talk) 18:19, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Avicii

This is what I get from the Avicii article: Avicii emerged in the music industry in 2008, when he was 18 years old, compiling a remix of the theme song to the Commodore 64 video game Lazy Jones. Does anyone know more about this remix? How was it called? Was it made public? I guess it's a different melody and he wasn't so stupid to re-create the same thing as Zombie Nation did before for their "Kernkraft 400". -andy 217.50.41.78 (talk) 23:11, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Music

==Music==

The game's chiptune music has a very characteristic sound that is distinct from many other C64 games. Each of the 21 subtunes is using only two voices of the SID chip which in turn use the same sawtooth sound. One voice plays a simple octave bassline for the most part, while the other one is adding the melody. All the tunes share the same tempo as well and they change seamlessly when playing another sub game.

Subtune 21, named "Star Dust", was used by the German producer team Zombie Nation in their song Kernkraft 400 without permission.

The tune and title for 99 Red Balloons comes from the hit song 99 Red Balloons by German band Nena.

Visage's "Fade to Grey" is also heard.
