How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days: Music From The Motion Picture

You're So Vain

The 1966 classic written by John Sebastian and performed by his group The Lovin' Spoonful was given a more modern treatment by Joe Cocker in 1994 which this version more closely resembles. Joe Cocker's version reached the top 10 in Switzerland, Austria and Belgium. Which only goes to show us international artists never know where our success is going to come from!   :-)

Legendary 60's organist Jimmy Smith track. If you don't know his music, check him out!

Jimmy Smith - Chicken Shack

The original is really slow and melancholic, and as my student colleagues wanted to do a cover track (to the original tempo), I thought it would be fun to produce a Dance version. It actually turned out much better than I thought it would!  :-)

Radiohead - Exit For a Film (Instrumental Dance Mix!)

Just a gentle groove for a historic song!

Nelson Mandela. 

"I detest racialism because I regard it as a barbaric thing whether it comes from the black man or the white man."

Simple Minds - Mandela Day

This is an EDM  cover version of the Radiohead song "Exit for a Film" with vocals by Lia.

A bonus track to Funkinova's Tribute to Camel album that was released in May 2022. If you like crazy time signatures, this one's for you!

Camel - Lunar Sea

"Hand On The Pump" Cypress Hill (Nickelia Bootleg)

These tracks were edited using the CVP705 and demonstrate the audio capability of the excellent keyboard. I am hoping that Yamaha will address the major weakness of having very limited free available memory after which I would give the keyboard 10/10. 

Monkeys - Daydream Believer

Every Great Motown Song - The First 25 Years Vol. 1:The 1960's

(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave (Single Version)

Then And Now

I Can't Explain (Mono Version)

60 Tals Nostalgi

Only the Lonely (Know the Way I Feel)

Originally a cover of Little Richard's 1956 single, the Beatles' cover version was never released on any of their UK studio albums (but it was released in the US and Canada on The Beatles' Second Album and The Beatles' Long Tall Sally respectively).

Long Tall Sally (The Beatles) • The Oxford Beatles

These tracks were edited using the CVP705 and demonstrate the audio capability of the excellent keyboard. I am hoping that Yamaha will address the major weakness of having very limited free available memory after which I would give the keyboard 10/10.

The Legend Of Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick & Tich

Hold Tight!

Del Shannon - Runaway

"Woodstock" - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (8-track tape)

So it is never quite clear why one cover track might get a few thousand plays and others just a few. So I thought I would put this that I produced around three years ago back in the spotlight to see if it can get some more plays this second time around.

As one of my earlier tracks it is one of the first where I gave it a treatment that didn't try and be too close to the original.

The Kinks - You Really Got Me

Hi all, so from 2016 to 2024 I assembled and produced a large collection of covers of many of my favorite tunes as my own hobby (and many during COVID lock-downs!) and I have accumulated over 2,800,000 plays across the world which is awesome!

I am much more of a producer that a musician. These first 8 years of my music was mostly based on midi cover tracks often downloaded from the Internet but heavily reproduced and re-imagined variously on my two Yamaha keyboards (Clavinova and PSR 975), but also using PC midi editing & DAW software.

Towards the end of that period, I added some of my more original electronic music which I produced over the past two decades under the name of Funkleberry in order to consolidate my Soundcloud accounts. 

But in 2024 I got into AI music generation and I am now  a freelance sonwriter and AI music producer. It's been a fun journey!
