@@koryandrews1665 Well, that's what is listed in the HVSC. Maybe it's just inspired by. 4:42 also seems to be "it happened then" by electronic ensemble which would put the entire Whittaker VS Zombi Nation into a new perspective.
I feel there could be a few more '80s synthpop themes in there. Fade to Gray and 99 Red Balloons persisted to be viewed as classics today, but a lot of music didn't.
To be precise, Lazy Jones is from 1984. It included some bits of songs already on the scene, as you mentioned, like Fade to Gray from Visage and 99 Luftballons from Nena. Kernkraft 400 took a piece of the soundtrack of the game to made their "Zombie Nation", wich is from the late 90's :D I miss the C64 days so much...
I know exactly what you mean. I used to play this game just for the soundtrack. I was a kid and I used to crank that volume up and lay my head down on my computer desk and get lost in it.
David Whittaker is a genius, he created a tune that later in 2000s became an iconic evergreen dance hit also used as official stadium song for many stadiums and clubs.
I remember hearing it being played during a football game, and recognizing it immediately. I had never heard of "Zombie Nation", I was just thinking, "how the hell did someone find this obscure little tune that comes from an obscure video game I played as a kid?"
Not only the 80s, but the 90s and 2000s as well. The The High Voltage SID Collection was released in 1989 for Amiga and those who still had the working MOS SID chips for the old Commodore 64 could use the SID chips in the Electron SidStation, accessing 45,000 beats, tunes and melodies from the chiptune genre and the Golden Age of Arcade gaming. Many of these tracks would go on to be Billboard hits like Nelly Furtado's "Do It"
Truth is most of these subtunes were covers. HOWEVER, Zombie Nation sampled the stardust one WITHOUT PERMISSION to create Kernkraft 400. They had to go back and pay for it. :)
+zaphod77 Subtune 21, named "Star Dust", was used by the German producer team Zombie Nation in their song Kernkraft 400 without permission. Florian Senfter ("Splank!") later paid an undisclosed sum to David Whittaker for the use of the melody.
I'm probably going to sound weird and shit, but this soundtrack feels as if I could fall asleep to it. No lie, I feel like I can sleep to this track. Something about this synthesiser makes this soundtrack sound peaceful, as if there is nothing to worry about. You are all by yourself in your own world doing whatever you want and no one can bother you. I guess that could describe the character Lazy Jones in one way.
I usually roll my eyes when people are suing other people, but in this case, Whittaker can sue everybody. This soundtrack is amazing, especially considering the medium and time it was made.
If you have winamp...you can download a Winamp plugin of Sidplay2. Once you get this plugin, you can find this track (and thousands of other C64 music files) at the High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC).
I like how some of the melodies sounds like a chiptune of House music from the 90's, and this was a couple of years before that type of music became popular.
Das geht ab! Zumindest für mich! Hab das game noch auf dem C64 gespielt. Die Musik war das motivierendste an der Kiste ;-) Ohne Musik hätten die Games keinen Spaß gemacht.
givant Yes but that's because Lazy Jones has a 99 Red Balloons minigame in it. The theme changes to that after you enter that particular game room, and changes back when you leave.
The Lazy Jones intro theme: Hoagy Carmichael wrote it and there's a popular version by Leon Redbone. When I played this game in the 80s, I already knew about the song through my grandparents.
Ironically Zombie Nation just took a sample of an already copied tune in this game. What a weird time when video games were still insignificant enough to just snatch those tunes. Then again, the early days of the WWW were not that different.
@derLabsch : Yeaaah i see that everybody are talking about the tracks Zombie Nation a the end but just before, it's an another track that you mention: Fade to Grey by Visage
@PeeterCZ It should be because the screeches were actually sounds, and not part of the soundtrack which was in the background (if i recall right, the screeches replaced the minigames sounds which would confirm they were sounds and not part of the music)
@jokester007 nice, yeah I only really know this sid set, not the covers... I like electronic music but it's not my number one so I have only heard the Kernkraft thing... If you find the others you can write David Whitaker and have him get in touch with the other people covering his music... make the guy some money lol :)
whenever somebody talks about something boring i play this soundtrack in my head :p and can you imagine how much money the musician made making these 1 finger keyboard melodies?
WOW - SYS 288 and try Again folks... That game was IMPOSSIBLE to make Tape to Disk copys from...(well for me anyway) Still have it on casette - and yes - whenever the old c-64 is being restarted - This is the game ppl still find funny.
seems like it was zombie nation who made it from start anyway! "Subtune 21, named "Stardust", was remixed by the German producer team Zombie Nation (initially unlicensed, which caused the producers to pay an undisclosed amount of money to Whittaker.)in their song Kernkraft 400.
I have discoveries like that several times a year, I am also amazed that the sound track is only 5 mins long! I thought each theme would be 3mins long at least. I came to this song because the band Broadcast have a song "DDL" that vaguely made me want to listen to this. My favourite C64 is probably a theme in the Miami Vice game with some kind of echo effect. That's my next search :)
yes they do. it seamlessly shifts from one theme to another. when you play a game it changes at the next change point and keeps the theme going as long as the game goes.
which of the games had the zombie nation one? i actually dont recall it, and that feels too bad because ive both played this and zombie nation - kernkraft 400 :O

I also hear Bud Spencer & Terence Hill - Lalalalalala 2:06 :P
This soundtrack contains all the songs in the universe, if you listen close enough.

Makes one appreciate the "fuzziness" of the "saw tooth" wave.
I wrote my master thesis to this song on repeat a few years back. Nothing gets me "in the zone" like the baseline of this soundtrack :-)

That soundchip brought us so many awesome tunes. You definitely know a C64 when you hear it.

It happened then song: am I a joke to you?
So many people stole from this magical tune!
I remember hearing it being played during a football game, and recognizing it immediately. I had never heard of "Zombie Nation", I was just thinking, "how the hell did someone find this obscure little tune that comes from an obscure video game I played as a kid?"
And in the late 90s lived on a CD player in my car with an 800 w system ;)
@@svenpoletka5236 who stole from who, lol
Why does listening to this make me feel happy and safe?
Because they’re songs from the eighties, which reminds many people of the good times
If you liked this, try the soundtrack for Crystalis.

The creators of this soundtrack were the pioneers of house in 1982.
Sounds as if every hit starting from the 80's was based on this stuff.
Not only the 80s, but the 90s and 2000s as well.

No.
This is MY JAM! played this SO MUCH as a kid with my dad and 2 older brothers. It was an amazing time to grow up!
Yeah, well, that's like, your opinion, man.
Best room in the game ... the broom closet :)
Well it's a tie between the broom closet and the shitter! Lol #EggieChuck
Great song. But to be clear, it came out in 1984, and the songs contained in it, came few years before.

There's a part of this game where you find a room with a bed and sleep and have funky dreams (no joke).
@@motaparatu I think the soundtrack for the creepy dream is 3:38. It was admittedly some time since I played this, but the memory is vivid.
@@andrewmartin3671 yep, that's it.
Three sound channels.... And they're all used perfectly.
+Derpancakes Lazy Jones used only 2 out of 3 channels. One is used for the bassline and other for the melodies.
I usually roll my eyes when people are suing other people, but in this case, Whittaker can sue everybody. This soundtrack is amazing, especially considering the medium and time it was made.
He needs to sui himself for using this soundtrack for his Glider Rider music at 0:39.
I remember this tune used to vibrate every panel on my old Blaupunkt TV
Very impressive for C64, dare I say some of the best tunes on the system
This and the Test Drive soundtrack. And maybe Hardball!
Oh, and Law Of The West.
Last Ninja 2
Whenever I'm drunk and kinda out of control, this is my anchor.
It happend again... this is great!!
A blast from the past..
I loved this game & soundtrack is epic
Still can hear the sound of the footsteps on my head.
The piss sound!
Es ist einfach ein Meisterwerk ! Je älter es wird um so besser wird es !!!
It doesn't get any better than this.
great raw synths .. iwonder why nobody uses them anymore but im sure thats about to change in less than 5 years
Ha you were right

amazing! now i got it as ringtone. so when my cellphone rings I will be able to know who owned C64, LOL!
Very nice compilation, reminds good old times, brings back memories of clicking joysting sounds, chronoblaster approves :)
And this is how the mighty Zombie Nation was born
best soundtrack in a game EVER
1:30 99 Luftballons
4:02 Living On The Ceiling
4:29 Fade To Gray
4:41 Zombie Nation
Zombie Nation is the artist
no, it's David whittaker
actually 4:41 it's a cover of "It happened then" by Electronic Ensemble, later transformed by Zombie Nation in Kernkraft 400
the best videogame soundtrack ever! tnx for the uploading !!!
The C64 sound chip was something special..
Yeah !
●Hope I don't Sound like an Ad●
And you can still get a SID Chip online 👍
I like how some of the melodies sounds like a chiptune of House music from the 90's, and this was a couple of years before that type of music became popular.
Brilliant!!
This song shall be played at my funeral =D
Wow!!! Going back in time!!! This was my favourite C64 music with the ones of Bozo's night out!!!
one of my fav C64 game. Best OST for sure!
Geiler Soundtrack! Da kommen sofort Kindheitserinnerungen hoch. Das waren noch klasse Computerspiele!
So a lot of songs out now a days are copies of this games theme. Interesting.
Listening to this for a while can drive you insane.
Thank you so much for posting it!!!
I still love this game!
Fantastiche! Non mi stufavo mai di sentirle mentre giocavo.
The first tune (0.00 / 0.25) seems an arrangement of Giorgio Moroder's "Underdog"...
Das geht ab! Zumindest für mich! Hab das game noch auf dem C64 gespielt. Die Musik war das motivierendste an der Kiste ;-)
Ohne Musik hätten die Games keinen Spaß gemacht.
Your sir are awesome! This draws a fully new light on the lawsuit "David Witthaker vs Kernkraft 400".^^
99 luftballons at 1:30
lol what a ripoff :D
givant YEah heard it too :D
givant Yes but that's because Lazy Jones has a 99 Red Balloons minigame in it. The theme changes to that after you enter that particular game room, and changes back when you leave.
The horrible story of a man that was forced to connect his youtube account to google+
Epic channel name.
and there are some parts of "Nena 99 luftballons" from 1:30
Jona Gyula There was a subgame where you shot red balloons and this music played during that game.
The Lazy Jones intro theme: Hoagy Carmichael wrote it and there's a popular version by Leon Redbone. When I played this game in the 80s, I already knew about the song through my grandparents.
i always believed the song "sweet dreams" was inspired by the song in this game..... dont know why.....
Same here

@derLabsch :
Yeaaah i see that everybody are talking about the tracks Zombie Nation a the end but just before, it's an another track that you mention: Fade to Grey by Visage
I'm amazed at the last thirty seconds of this. What a mix from Visage's 'Fade to Grey' to Zombie Nation's 'Kernkraft 400'. Seamless!
instant childhood nostalgia activated !
@westygw Kernkraft 400 is the name of the song, the artist was Zombie Nation
3:25 Close Encounters of the Third Kind
The sound track to my childhood
4:40 Where my Bruins fans at?
4:40 FTW
it's the original. Kerfnkraft and avicii remixed it.
ZxAnubizX117 *zombie nation
not kernkraft
I hated that green trolly thing the most. The rake/broom thing always clipped me when I jumped it.
So awesome.
even in this format the tune ZN covered goes so hard!
@PeeterCZ It should be because the screeches were actually sounds, and not part of the soundtrack which was in the background (if i recall right, the screeches replaced the minigames sounds which would confirm they were sounds and not part of the music)
One of the mini-games in Lazy Jones involves red balloons, that track plays in this room.
To all the guys who say this is a copy from somewhere, This is the Original one.
whats the tune at 3:38? has anyone ever done anything with it?
The main theme is 'Lazy Bones' in 8bit. If you're reading this and haven't heard of that song, check it out and see for yourself :)
sid amp two remixes and one original 21 tracks but 21 is zombie nation!!!!good work..
The best soundtrack in video game history 🔥🔥🔥
1:04 - 1.16 and 2:47- 2.49 is the best parts :)
One of the musics that defines a game
This complilation of Melody seems to be a frequent Source for today's Interprets O.o
i smiled so hard as i heard the Zombie Nation part at 4:41 :D
great game with cool music mix :D thanks for upload :)
and yes!
i love this melody.
I swear some of Lazy Jones music's playing in the Cyclone Stadium scene in the new Pixar movie Elemental.
nice meme
I Love this track. Heard it on Kutski and had to search for it

Bad ass. Dubstep got nothing on this!!! This started it all!
Since 1989 I've been out of my mind. @ 01.41 - What is this song in original? It is that part of the game(sound) that I can remember best.
Yes, from here he made the remix that he called "Lacy Lace". It's just amazing how he started his career... hahaha
WOW - SYS 288 and try Again folks...

yessss, painfull truth!!!

Kernkraft 400 , not 4000 :D
I could have sworn that the soundtrack included a version of Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This). Apparently I was wrong.

yes they do. it seamlessly shifts from one theme to another. when you play a game it changes at the next change point and keeps the theme going as long as the game goes.
Me too. In my memories there was "Sweet Dreams" in it.
What song is 1:04-1:16? I wanna find the whole song to that.

or
gigi dagostino - "i still belive in your eyes"
which of the games had the zombie nation one? i actually dont recall it, and that feels too bad because ive both played this and zombie nation - kernkraft 400 :O
Is there a longer version of 1:04
Yeah, wonder where that progression is from! 🤔
Dave, my mind is going!
This game needs to be on the evercade
Yeah I CAN CONFIRM right now!
