Anders Enger Jensen's video: Keeping up with Commodore

Sooo... here's an old earworm, that I just couldn't resist working on. Many of you remember the classic "Are you keeping up with the " commercial, and I had several requests over the last year if I could do a number on this. I tried to keep as much as possible from the original, but upgrading it, beefing it up and make it a little more snappy. Since there are no multitracks available with the original vocal recordings, I just used www.vocalremovers.org since it's free, and it did a decent job of separating the voices from the backing track. Some phasing and flanging occurs, but I hope the delay and reverb plus the blending in the mix covers most of that anyway. The song is in 163 BPM, so there's little time to relax, but it also gives a good drive. Using a lot of everything here, MKS modules, TX and Motifs, 1000PX and HX, QSR, SD-1, TS-10, TOM and various other hardware synths. Some ReFX Nexus2 with various expansion packs here and there, and some SID/Chiptunes thrown in for good measure. It's after all... about the Commodore, right? I tried to find the original composers and songwriters, but couldn't find any. If you happen to know who made this song, please let me know in the comments.
