DIGITAL LEATHER - Gerbil

My all-synth version of the 1985 hit. There’s a room where the light won’t find you.

Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Ozymandias Version) (Tears for Fears cover)

Supergrupo: Crisis en Autonomías Infinitas

Mi Información (My Generation)

My all-synth version of the 1981 track. I’m the dandy highwayman who you’re too scared to mention.

Stand and Deliver (Proton Channel Version) (Adam and the Ants cover)

My all-synth version of the Captain’s 1982 hit. It went bang, I said shut up. It went bang, I said rap up. Well I’m aware that the guy must do his work, but the piledriver man drove me berserk.

Wot! (Oleic Version) (Captain Sensible cover)

My all-synth version of the 1985 track. You want to Diva a deduction you want to do what they do.

Perfect Way (Grav Assist Version) (Scritti Politti cover)

My all-synth version of the 1985 track. Hey, it was a challenge I set myself, and I like to do messed-up stuff. Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born...

Sally MacLennane (Distillate Version) (The Pogues cover)

My all-synth version of Devo's 1981 track.

Today what does it take to do the super thing?
I'll tell you what it takes: a very simple thing
Iron nerves like the pilot of a jumbo jet
Or a girl on the go who hasn't got there yet

Magnetic trumpets blowing, synthetic saxophone
The evidence kept growing from below
Hidden motivations buried in the past
Still gives us strength for the super thing

The Super Thing (Blazar Version) (Devo cover)

My all-synth version of the 1981 hit. The guy in the picture is actually pretty cool, he's John Bardeen, one of the few people to have got two Nobel Prizes. He got them for the transistor (you're using millions of them right now) and superconductivity.

We're through being cool
Eliminate the ninnies and the twits
Going to bang some heads
Going to beat some butts
Time to show those evil spuds what's what
If you live in a small town
You might meet a dozen or two
Young alien types who step out
And dare to declare
Spank the pank who try to drive you nuts
Time to clean some house
Be a man or a mouse
Waste those who make it tough to get around
If you live in a big place
Many factions underground
Chase down mister hinky dink
So no trace can be found
Put the tape on erase
Rearrange a face
We always liked Picasso anyway
Mash 'em

Through Being Cool (Type II Superconductor Version) (DEVO cover)

My all-synth version of the 1980 classic.

Crack that whip
Give the past the slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sits out too long
You must whip it
When something's going wrong
You must whip it

Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Whip it good

When a good time turns around
You must whip it
You will never live it down
Unless you whip it
No one gets away
Until they whip it

I say whip it
Whip it good
I say whip it
Whip it good

Crack that whip
Give the past the slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sits out too long
You must whip it
When something's going wrong
You must whip it

Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Whip it good

Whip It (Sonic Boom Version) (DEVO cover)

Quartet

We Came to Dance (Extended Version)

Lament

Dancing with Tears in My Eyes (Special Remix)

My all-synth cover of the 1982 track.

Peek-a-boo!
I can see you
And I know what you do
So put your hands on your face
And cover up your eyes
Don't look until I signal
Peek-a-boo! peek-a-boo! peek-a-boo!
The way that we weren't is what we'll become
So please pay attention while I show you some
Of what's about to happen
Peek-a-boo!
I know what you do
Cause I do it too
Laugh if you want to or say you don't care
If you cannot see it you think it's not there
It doesn't work that way

Peek-A-Boo! (Briefs Version) (Devo cover)

This track is from the album Cannibal Dolls/Seven Men and is available for purchase on CD Baby here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/landofgiantsdd

I make obnoxious synth covers of previously fine songs. All done with Korg Gadget.
