Name: Lovey Song by Viewers Like You
Duration: 4 min 23 s
Description: Viewers Like You at @WhySound-Venue get the crowd moving with one of their newer songs. Well, it was newer in 2008 when we played this show.

A chiptune arrangement (or derrangement perhaps?) of the Viewers Like You original song Super Motorcycle Ninja Gunfight. NES forever. Done in lmms with entirely free and open source software. To see a live version of the original go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYfnkYSxPfY

Super Motorcycle Ninja Gunfight Chiptune

A synth version of a Viewers Like You original.

It started out as an 8-bit version, but I got more and more carried away until I got this.

To hear the band play this live, check out http://youtu.be/K8WNWuAaJLw

To hear a midi version I arranged for a 16-piece jazz band, check out http://youtu.be/lQvbstHztMY

EDIT: I was listening to a Spanish hard rock band called Mago de Oz and heard their song "Hasta que Tu Muerte nos Separe" and realized the background violins on my track were probably influenced by them. Check it out: http://open.spotify.com/track/3YVb6ibW4S3ZNDkkSFdzhj

Trainwreck

I play in a band called @Viewers-Like-You and they do this song, except reggae. You can see them play it live here: http://youtu.be/sIYA4jV7Thk

I always wondered what this would sound like faster, but ska didn't seem to fit. So I busted out my accordion, banjo, tuba, washboard and spoons to make this. Also, I decided to translate the third line of each verse (which is the same as the first) into Creole, which I had to do via Google Translate.

Lovey Song

This is my re-working of last year's @viewers-like-you's Trainwreck instrumental cover: https://soundcloud.com/psiddoway/trainwreck-synth

This time instead of a synth keyboard, I did it with a dedicated Nintendo Game Boy tracker (so maybe I should have had a GB cartridge for the art...).

Trainwreck (8-bit)

To sum up the Viewers Like You in a few words... never mind. Can't be done. More than a ska band, the Viewers are pushing the envelope of entertainment, fun, and zaniness to new levels. In fact the term "prog-ska" has even been used for their dance-able, rock-n-reggae style that ranges from ragtime to funk. If you can frown while watching them, you must have some sort of super-power. Or perhaps you are in labor. Who can tell? Come to a show and decide for yourself!
