Someone commandeer a TARDIS and go tell that man to move his jaw and lips.

Actual ARTISTS, a-r-t-i-s-t-s, were putting out wonderfully cheesy synthploitational pop tune covers back in the 60s and 70s. Using wall-sized analog synths. And they frequently sounded just like this. Dick Hyman, Hugo Montenegro, Enoch Light, Walter/Wendy Carlos when he/she was slumming, Isao Tomita's first album (Electric Samurai), etc., etc., etc. You're cute when you think bloopsic was invented in the 80s for Atari and NES game soundtracks and then refer to that as "back in the day." (And yes, I specifically left out pioneers like Raymond Scott, Jean-Jacques Perrey and Gershon Kingsley because they were doing more than just the bloopy stuff.)(Carlos, too, but really, did we need "Eleanor Rigby" on that by Request album?) Okay, I'm just being a pontificatin' douche. This really did amuse me. Oh, you kiddies with your bleep-tastic “8-bit” this and “chiptune” that.
