This ReMix is just so damn happy I love it! For some odd reason I care not to explain it makes me think of a bunch of really jolly fat people jogging down a road together . . . but that's just me . . . it's late, gimme a break, If this doesn't make you smile just a bit, you have no soul . . it's downright gleeful, and I love it. This old NES game also deserves a look too - a real sleeper hit . . . another great one from YPOI!!
Discussion: Latest 15 comments/reviews; view the Sounds like something out of the background to a kids show. Fun and
happy and a little bouncy. It's not a mind-blowing ReMix at all,
but it's fun to listen to and it's really hard to hate on. A little
on the short side, but that fine with something like this, where
all you need is to get the idea, which you get fairly quickly.

Forget these haters. What this track lacks in bells and whistles,
it makes up for in fun. Mattias understands that, unlike these
other dum-dums. :lol: It's straightforward (and by now, dated), but
it's also infectiously happy and groovy. Anyone saying otherwise
has a cold, unfeeling heart. :-P
I also don't agree at all that this mix isn't "a promising sign of what OverClocked Remix would become." Along with several other earlier tracks, djp's posting of this set a precedent where we don't have bias against any game music being represented, no matter how obscure. That is what we call brilliant.

I would never call this mix strong, nor a promising sign of what
OverClocked Remix would become. However, I have to say that its
attitude and disregard for ambition (whether intentional or not)
results in something that is EXTREMELY listenable and replayable.
This is basically musical confectionary. Not exactly good for us,
but its fun, colourful, sweet and most of all makes us smile. And
there's nothing wrong with that.

Well it appears I have no soul. Annoying sound effects and decent
if uninspired straight-ahead beat. Thankfully it's pretty
short.
There are some decent components of this, like the counterpoint is nice, and the loop used for the beat is pretty punchy. Nice uses of panning too, but things are very repetitive, and there is only an 'A' section to speak of. The melody drops out for a moment, but nothing happens in that time to change things up. The ending was pretty weak too.
Though I can't recommend this song, keeping it around for posterity is pretty cool. It makes me appreciate the growth that has occurred.

I find this remix VERY annoying. Too repetitive, static,
uninteresting. Low production value.
I frown.
Killjoy, I know, sorry...
The short, upbeatness to it reminds of a remix I absolutely LOVE, however:

Banana = Yellow curved fruit.
Slumber Party = A sleepover-party
Banana Slumber Party = A yellow curved fruit that has a sleepover-party
and YES this song represents that.. in some.. way.. :/
Ah well, I used to think this was pretty awesome and I still do because of nostalgia. Wicked.

Ohh. this is COZY. I can´t get enough of this remix. So simple, so
catchy.. this is excellent, and I´m addicted. Too bad I heard it
now, and not in the year 2000 when it was posted. I would´ve been a
lot happier these four years with a remix like this.. :D

Cheerful and upbeat, but a bit short. Not bad, considering it's in
one of the first batches of remixes to hit the site.

I absolutely love this song, and so does everyone who I let listen
to it. It's almost impossible to be unhappy when you listen to
this.

Just a happy little diddy to make you feel better. Like the Beatles
"Good Day Sunshine" only, more technoey. Very simple, with the form
of the song being A A A then A. Then again it's not even 2 minutes.
But i love it anyways! ^_^
