When I logged onto Facebook this morning, I saw that a handful of guys I grew up with had posted a link, to Super Morrissey Bros. Apparently, someone had taken The Smiths song, This Charming Man, and had turned it into a chiptune (explanation here), marrying it with Super Mario Bros.
Listening to this was taking priority over a shower for the moment. I checked out the link, and realized that the creator, who goes under the handle lazyitis on Soundcloud, only posted this five days ago, and already has 260,000+ views - what I would give for numbers like that!
I gotta say, Super Morrissey Bros. turned out pretty awesome. Better than I had expected, truth be told. Hopefully Alan will pop out another chiptune soon - I'd like to hear more 80s covers done in this fashion!
