With your stuffs you wrote a beautiful page in the chiptune and YouTube history... Thanks :)

Mark Knight

Those were the days..... bunking off college to go home and write chiptunes :D

Blizzy Mez

2y↑5

the bass and melody in the breakdown still amaze me, i imagine that was a very proud moment of yours after you'd wrote them

Mark Knight

2y↑4

Yes, very proud of this one. I think it’s the best chiptune overall that I wrote back then.

Harha

6y↑17

Crazy melodies man, one of my all time favourite chiptunes.

Mark Knight

Thanks for saying so. Out of all the chippies I wrote, this is my favourite!

this is still a really good song too bad no one did the chords until recently

Dayvigilante

I will forever picture you as the heavy from team fortress 2.

Haha, oh yes - that makes me LOL watching it even these days 👍

Christopher Tom

whoa, you're the one behind this tune? good composition man, i've known about it for like a decade but never knew who made it until now. nice to see that you're so cool about the YTPMVs!

Robyn

10y↑8

My favourite kind of chip/module, awesome stuff! I've been hearing your latest stuff also, very good. I'm happy you're so enthusiastic, especially with fans :3

Mark Knight

10y↑4

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it all, I'm loving going back to this stuff! :)

Justin Perry

I found the original tracker way before this, and this one is my new favorite.

Mark Knight

Thanks :)

I swear, that if I learn how to do YTPMVs I will do something special with this music

Mark Knight

Cool!

LooPeR231

You are truly talented :) I loved tunes used in cracks. They were amazing!

LooPeR231

5y↑1

Mark Knight Absolutely agree!

Mark Knight

And there’s a heck of a lot of stuff much better than what I did on that site 👍🏻

LooPeR231

Mark Knight I still surf on modarchive to listen to your works till this day :D

Mark Knight

5y↑2

Thanks, it was certainly a fun time back then!

SchanaWana

I decided to go back to ytpmv and immediately this wonderful chiptune came to mind with its difficulty in doing arpeggios in the background.
At the time I remember about ytpmv groups that we "fought" to understand the correct notes.

Mark Knight

3y↑3

Haha, I'd liked to have seen that. I would have been happy to have helped!

Your songs are amazing! Can I use this for a YTPMV?

Dogma I Laboratories

12y↑1

I love it! Have appreciated this song for a long time, remixing it on my front porch live using FastTracker 2 running on old laptops.... thanks for the upload, and the video response to my vid which uses sounds from this piece to make a new chip-tune.

sordan

9y↑1

Amazing!! TDK, I can listen this 1 hour in loop mode especially this with violin (Revision 2014) and I still enjoy. Hope I will listen it live again in Revision 2015, cannot wait!!

Mark Knight

Ha, thank you :) Sadly I won't be at RV this yeah, but I'm hoping to be next year with any luck!!! If you're going, have loadsa fun!

soren groth

I forgot how much i loved this tune mark! :)

Mark Knight

Thanks mate, I've always been pleased with it :)

GMan1255

Out of all the chiptune I listen to, I always find myself back at this song. It's either my favorite or second favorite because the only other chiptune song I listen to as much as this is Anamanaguchi's "My Skateboard Will Go On" and that isn't pure chiptune. I really love what you do, and I find it cool that you actually read and reply to most comments left on your videos. Keep on being a really cool dude :)

Mark Knight

It's a catchy one for sure, probably the best chippy I wrote back in the day. Either that or Melon-Glo-Mania.... It's good to interact... Just as well I'm not popular else that's all I would be doing, haha!

HypnoticallyYours

12y

Darn, I thought it would be a chiptune version of Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep, a 60's pop song covered by many in the late 70's and early 80's, and sporadically since.

Isaac Rose

I love this music SOOOO much! I can't believe you made it back in 1992! You SOOOOO deserver more than 641 subs!

Mark Knight

9y↑2

+Khyler Mcmahan :) thanks Khyler. Yeah, I know... but there's just so much music out there now. I kinda can't believe I wrote it in 1992 either.... I was supposed to be at college studying, haha!! ;)

Stephen Decker

12y

Amazing, Mr. madfiddler, as expected. I've wanted to get into writing chiptunes like this for a while, but I can't seem to find a decent program to do it with. Any suggestions?

NovaAzurite

Mannnnnnnnnnnnnn i love this song, goes hard

Perfection ! Chiptune 4 life !!!

Mark Knight

Thanks :D

Mark Knight

Thankyou :) Of course, there's quite a few YTPMV's using it already...

I love this song!

Mark Knight

FishyTV glad you do 😊

Thanks :)

There is an updated version on my new album - search TDK and Reawakening. The "big band" version will come in time :)

Nothing

11y

Have you seen some of the YTPMVs of this song? One of the most popular responses I think was "Bender Flash (Le Futureddit Bump... ...Remix)" by MrXarable... Mostly people mistaken this as FlashFXP, because ShaneX used your song Chubby Chubby Chip Chip for a keygen program and people thought it was by him o3o

Marcos Arciso

Dude... That's AWESOME

Mark Knight

Cheers Marcos :)

Random Soviet

I feel like I've heard bits of this year's ago but I've only found this song hardly last year.

Mark Knight

7y↑2

You've probably seen a few 'poop' videos on YouTube which are using it?

Peacock Roy

11y

Do you think you could try to make a tablature version of the baseline?

Nothing

11y

Also, I just heard that this song was featured in a medley called "C-Side of YTPMV"

Mark Knight

11y

I think the name is officially OpenMPT now. If memory serves me, MODPlug was discontinued and they released the source code, so it kinda got taken over.

Mark Knight

11y↑1

Cool - not seen that one before :)

Mark Knight

12y

Ah, well the new version hasn't been written with a tracker this time, but MIDI. The reason that the chords are sampled chords (instruments) is because the Amiga only had 4 sound channels, so I couldn't use 3 channels just to make a chord. Does that make sense?

Iska Mag

4y↑1

i feel nostalgic about this song, did any game feature this song?

Mark Knight

No, no game. There's been a "few" mashups with Butterfly from Dance Dance Revolution though.

Mark Knight

12y

No idea. Probably in the same way that they got my name wrong too. Been trying to correct that. I'm working on a new version for my chiptune album atm :)

King Williams

I might do a YTPMV of this song, I've been wanting to for a while now ^^;

Mark Knight

What are you waiting for then..... 😂

David Orr

9y↑3

Incredible.

Nothing

11y

There's kind of an updated version of ProTracker (Except it's a different program) It's Called MODPlug and ti's kinda more challenging then it seemed that it is

bfop

12y

Oh wow, cool, a new version? When you finish it do you think you can put up the module file and tell me, because I've been wanting to YTPMV it. Also, I looked into the module of this song and found the chords are just one instrument and not multiple tracks/channels, that makes it hard to YTPMV. Why'd you choose to do that, I mean, I know you didn't count on people needing to know what they are and figure it out by ear, but I'm just curious as to why you did that.

punkd

8y↑3

Love this still. I'm still rocking .mod files on my computer!

Mark Knight

+punkd Ha - thank you. Have you heard the updated version on my Reawakening album?

Stephen Decker

12y

Thanks for the help. I'll do some looking into those programs. Good luck finding that monitor!

TheMackey5

i fuckin love this!!

Gunaras Sommerlund

12y

wonderfull!

Peacock Roy

11y

Huh. Well what about sheet music from the MIDI version? I could probably figure it out from there/turn it into a tab. I already have sort of an understanding of how it goes, but it sounds more complex than what I've been playing.

Hey Mark, would you post up "Starsky's Big Gun"? If not, may I? I just find that one too amazing not to be here

Hi TDK. Will you do a concert on Revision 2016? I hope you will !!! cannot wait.

Mark Knight

7y↑1

No promises at the moment though ;)

luutifa0

No way! You're performing the year I can't go party live? Well. I'll be sure to catch the stream :)

Mark Knight

+sordan Hey, we're talking about it right now actually. The only problem is I may not be able to make the dates for work reasons. In which case, it's pretty much guaranteed for 2017. Thanks very much for the support!!! :D

smace

11y

try downloading the mod from ampDOTdasceneDOTnet and view the notes in a tracker that can load a protracker-module (.mod)

bfop

12y

Yeah, I get it. Thanks for explaining.

Vlad[54rus]

There is a Fast Tracker II version of this chiptune uploaded at ModArchive. Did you create it, or is it from someone else?

Mark Knight

I'm not sure to be honest. Too long ago now.

Musou San

Had no idea this fit in well with butterfly

Mark Knight

Musou Yeah, they work well together. Don't forget this came first though ;)

XTR

Good chiptune ! this track was used in demo/intro/cracktro ?

Mark Knight

@XTR Ah, that's a different song.

Mark Knight

Thanks, you know what, I don’t actually know if it was or not. It was put on one of the sploosh music disks but I never knew where my tunes were being used most of the time.

Mark Knight

Besten Dank :)

Demócrito

Did the "Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch" inspired by that?, I had always had that feeling, "you and me baby are nothing but mammals.....

Mark Knight

Well you should ask them really, they released The Bad Touch in 1999.... I wrote Chubby in 1993...

It's a similar chord sequence for sure, but then there are many tunes which have similar chords..... Rock and Roll wouldn't exist if they couldn't copy those 1/4/1/5 sequences.

Nothing

11y

Uh, yeah, kinda. The name is still MODPlug because OpenMPT means "Open MODPlug Tracker"
