VERSE 1:
Just take those old floppies off the shelf
I'll load them up and play them by myself
Today's gaming ain't got the same soul
I like my Commodore 64
VERSE 2:
Don't try and give me a Nintendo
You'll never get me trying other consoles
Unplug the Xbox, leave it there on the floor
I like my Commodore 64
CHORUS:
Still like that Commodore 64
That kind of gaming just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With my Commodore 64
VERSE 3:
Won't go near to play a PlayStation 4
I want to harvest food and even smithore
Take out your valkyrie with my manticore!
All on my Commodore 64
VERSE 4:
Call it so Epyx, here's another visitor
Found Ambrosia in a whirlpool I explored
My Cobra Mark III mined an asteroid
I like that Commodore 64
CHORUS:
Still like that Commodore 64
Rescued a Kindar in the roots below
Max helped me battle that AI that went rogue
All on my Commodore 64
Still like that Commodore 64
Blew bubbles in that game by Taito
I learned to type with words like 'kill troll with sword'
With my Commodore 64
Still like that Commodore 64
That kind of gaming just never gets old
'LOAD "*",8,1' wore out my keyboard
On my Commodore 64
Still like that Commodore 64
I nuked a hamster, didn't know what for!
Marshmallow Man, couldn't get through the door
Just love my Commodore 64
Can't beat the Commodore 64....
I love my Commodore 64
I adore my 64, my Commodore 64

This album is a lot of fun with covers of an already heterogenous work by a group of artists with quite different musical styles. It's actually what I can thank for getting me back into TMBG. Pick it up and support charity! Eliot Lash
