Go Go Gadget Beatbox

You must check this out.

50 points if anybody can tell me the name of the song he breaks into in the middle. 100 points and a batch of chocolate chip cookies (seriously) to anybody who can tell me the format that made the song popular in the early days of personal computing, and the name of the program I would've used to play it on with my Mac SE.

I have no idea the answers to any of those, but that was freaking awesome!

it's the crazy frog song. but i don't know the format or the program or the whatever heck else it is. can i trade some points for a cookie?

by the way, i was meaning to comment on the last post but it kept taking too long to load the comment page. what the heck is a cover tree?

Weird. I don't know why that would be happening.

The cover tree is the tree in the poem that provides cover. ;)

And, sorry to say, that's not the title of the song (at least not the one I'm thinking of), though it was popular enough that maybe it was used in other places. Either way, if I do make cookies, I'll give you one.

Holy crud! The song is Axel F, but I'm not quite hardcore enough to answer the latter question, at least not without cheating...

Beth Crehan said...

Can I just have some cookies and some J-Rob time? Heck, I'll even bring the cookies! =)

Yeah, I've been playing lurker around here.

Love ya, m'dear.

'tis adam:
I believe that would be the Beverly Hills Cop theme song. The format would be midi. Though when you were using a Mac SE, I was using a 386-SX 20 with DOS.

Ithaca, Dryden, and Cortland say hello. :)
