My Satefy Dance... at least what I've done so far with it.

I've found a disturbingly funny text-to-speech and C64 version of the Safety Dance. So the SID version might be under an unusual name or simply composed and never shared by this guy.In case it has any relevance, the following songs are not part of the High Voltage SID Collection, meaning there are no known C64 covers of those songs. Whether that is due they weren't popular songs, too difficult to cover or something else is not known. Also I haven't cross referenced any AY, POKEY, NES etc chip music libraries to determine if they're present there.

Currentl I've found another site and I'm in the process of moving my files. I've been sidetracked by projects, but soon I hope to have news
Anyway Scubbly will continue to work till March.
Let me know how it goes for you, I will wait to see how things go with popular opinion. Hopefully I get more comments before it's too late.

To reply to my own blog post, I've asked myself the follow question:
"Will I recognize these movies by looking only at a single iconic frame?"
In my mind, I imagined an iconic image from each movie: the shadow of Nosferatu walking up stairs, the female robot in Metropolis, the monster in Frankenstein, King Kong at the top of the skyscraper, Chaplin being pushed around giant gears, etc.
And so, here's my list once limited to the ones I will surely recognize:
1922 Nosferatu1927 Metropolis1931 Frankenstein1933 King Kong1936 Modern Times1940 Pinocchio1941 Dumbo1941 Citizen Kane1942 Bambi1959 Ben-Hur1960 Psycho1964 Goldfinger1964 Mary Poppins1964 Fantomas1968 The love bug1971 The Big Boss1971 Dirty Harry1972 The God Father1973 The Exorcist1975 Jaws1975 Rollerball1976 Rocky1976 King Kong1977 Crime Busters1977 Star Wars1978 Halloween1978 Grease1979 Alien1980 Airplane!1980 The Shining1982 The Thing1982 Blade Runner1982 Tron1982 Annie1983 Octopussy1983 Flashdance1983 WarGames1983 James Bond 0071984 Amadeus1984 Ghostbusters1984 Gremlins1984 Dune1984 The Terminator1984 Police AcademyTotal: 44 titlesAnd movies titles I may add:1963 The Birds1976 Network1978 Superman1979 Rocky II1982 E.T.1982 First Blood1982 Rocky IIITotal: 7 titles -
Nicely done! If only I can draw as well as you... it will be easier then to make "cartoon-like" version of Venus Spa characters.

So, for the Hits of 1982, Google is suggesting Michael Jackson - Beat It, and the AtariAge forums users are suggesting Survivor - Eye of the Tiger. Both have their challenges and distinctive sounds, I really like these choices. We will see which music I end up composing first between the two... unless I've already done it but I don't remember.
