The "ONLY Amiga" Song! Yeah funky stuff, dig it?

Bloodwych · 26 September 2006, 19:21

I don't think this has been posted (so apologies to those who've seen it), but has anyone noticed the "only Amiga" song on youtube?

It's TOTALLY rad man, really 80's cool music. Awesome adverts like this were bound to set the American market alight back then.......erm....well.....perhaps not.

Man, I've just stopped laughing now; or crying; or both! - the backing singers had me in hysterics!

[ Show youtube player ]

Enjoy! And enjoy quoting it in this thread - there are some classic lines!

I think we have a new official EAB tune!!

Remember - ONLY AMIGA!!!!

Cool. Wouldn't rely on any sales reps though... I trust the nerd that says "outrageous!"

Sune Salminen · 26 September 2006, 21:45

It's not the "only" one!

Anyone remember Changing Minds?

http://www.discogs.com/release/65816

Apparently these guys went on to produce Snap! and became very famous.

Is the video online anywhere?

Read the instructions on your plasma screen

store your program on disc

And now you move with the cursor up and down
left and right.
Printing directly from the keyboard

change line fourty in your program

Insert a sheet of paper and let the system run.

Face the fact you're left in the dark
with the fantastic 8 megabyte computer.
Start by checking all the connections

and now turn on the power.
While holding the bold key
activating the ram expansion port

Insert your final program
and then you press 'return'.

Will detonate in your face

Don't remember changing minds, but those lyrics sound far out man!

Photon you're right - that nerd knows best.

I left a comment about this video on that thread a few days ago. Im known as Blade004 on there not 002. I defend the Amiga whenever i can

boing_1000 · 27 September 2006, 15:44

There was a Gateway promo video on there for the Amiga also. You should check that out.

Bloodwych · 27 September 2006, 17:35

blade, didn't notice it was you who left that comment. It made me smile first time round. Nice one!

Boing, yeah I think I've seen that one and a few others, many are classics. It was the backing tune and singers that really got me howling in this one. Plus at the end everyone praising the Amiga with upheld arms in a kind of Commodore corporate salute - it's like some sort of brain washing excercise ONLY AMIGA. JOIN OUR CULT. Great stuff.

OMG!

ONLY AMIGA!!!!

...makes it possible !!!!

boing_1000 · 27 September 2006, 19:04

bahaha the 80's style one was by far the best. If the Amiga were updated to use Intel Core Duo processors etc. and it was advertised on TV with that style commercial, I'd buy it. No doubt.

NOB · 27 September 2006, 22:07

From which demo/tool is this cat?
Damn, i forgot about it.Any ideas?
