#retrocomputers #retrogaming #6502
Lyrics:
There’s a joystick in my hand,
There’s Atari on the stand,
Put a cartridge in the slot,
‘cause we’re gonna play a lot,
Switching on my Famicom
Cause Nintendo is the bomb
Mario’s the one I love,
Slipping on a power glove
It’s an 8-bit world, and we’re 8-bit girls, it’s true, oh yeah
It’s an 8-bit world, and we’re 8-bit girls, it’s true, yeah
6502
Yeah we landed on the blocks, Space Invaders took some shots, then we ate up all the dots
6502
Frogger dodging all the cars, Breakout hitting all the bars, playing some Revenge of Yar
6502
Pole Position give me speed, Breaking up the Centipede, retrogames are what I need
6502
Yeah we’ve got the highest score, always say we want some more, more, whoa-oh
6502 microprocessor (x2)
Now I got this chip from MOS
Coding BASIC like a boss
This rf jack what’s it for?
Hooking up my Commodore
Software on a floppy disk
Apple II cannot be missed
Want to see an epic fail?
Dysentery on the Trail.
6502! (x 8)

I absolutely love The 6502 Song!! Brought a big smile. I sent a link for my daughters and granddaughters - they are now "6502 Microprocessor Girls". Thank you, -Bill

Even for those partial to the 6809, this is undeniably GREAT. You two can REALLY sing! And great lyrics and smooth mixing, too. The most joyful and fun video I've seen in a long time.

[@fractalMD]

Taylor is the singer. All credit to her! Thank you so much. We are getting requests for songs for other chips now, which is great. 😂

[@Myenyme]

Wowy favorite microprocessor. Put it into a couple of commercial embedded systems. One product was a flowmeter that was used on the space shuttle engine test stand

[@fractalMD]

Hell yeah. Nice!

[@techhoppy]

OMG I LOVE THIS!! It's giving me Indigo Girls vibes! You guys rock!!

[@brianclimbs1509]

lol, The PET rock killed me! I'm so glad I recently got an Atari so I could understand most of the references! Also, Bender runs a 6502.

The PET rock got us a well!

This turned out great! Thanks for letting me be a part of it :D

[@fractalMD]

Fuzzybad in da hoooouuuse!

[@CurtisBoyle]

Great song, great harmonies, fun... and loved all of the guest spots! I may be a 6809/6309 guy now, but the first two computers I ever used and programmed on (the original PET, and then Apple II+) were both 6502 (and on the Apple I even delved a tiny bit into assembly language for the first time), so I do have a bit of nostalgia still for it. (I was also wondering what you were singing at VCF since Jason (Cocoman) had a few seconds of you singing in his VCF video... now I know!)

[@fractalMD]

LCB really can do it all. This is why we are kidnapping you to the next VCF!

[@RDeck9]

I flippin loved it! More collabs, please!

[@fractalMD]

Can do! (If ppl will have us)

[@RDeck9]

I might never have found you had Veronica not mentioned y'all!

[@fractalMD]

@@RDeck9 She is THE BEST.

[@RDeck9]

I know, I love her channel, she's rather witty and hilarious, but then you're like "hey, I just learned something new!" after watching one of her videos lol.. She sneaks in super useful tidbits and we're better off as a result!

[@AsaDeltaComunicacoes]

Hey, I loved this your sounds! I like very mutch the microcomputers, in specially the 8 bits! Great vídeo!!!!!!! 😃🖖🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

If VCF gave out video awards, this would have to qualify as Best VCF Video Award of the Year.
