Them Changes - Thundercat (8-Bit)

Well, you (never) asked and I have delivered!
Here's my first 8-bit cover. Took a while to brainstorm what I should do, but then I realized that if anybody would willingly become trapped inside a NES it might be Thundercat.
So much love and respect for his music..he's truly a genius of our era. :)

[@nickpetka]

This is perfect because the original song already sounds like a video game boss fight

[@bitblitz]

Yeah Thundercat is video game fight jazz, I love it.

[@lileafeechildishGUCCIpinto3000]

Hopping the concert fence type beat

[@tomorrowssjoe]

*red used slice* *blue has lost his arms!*

[@KevinTPLim]

should never have gone into the tall grass alone…

[@jazzman2516]

This is GENIUS! It highlights how video game-esque Thundercat’s music already is. The A section abounds like it’s straight out of Revenge of Shinobi, and the B section from The Legend of Zelda.

[@bitblitz]

You have no idea how happy I am that this made somebody reference Shinobi music 😂

[@swaggerrrrrr]

i like how you showed footsteps in the dark at the beginning since thundercat sampled the drums for it

[@bitblitz]

Gotta respect those Isley Drums!

[@D0ghnut509]

This hits harder than the time I stubbed my toe on the door 🗣️🔥💯

[@MM-vs2et]

I love that the chords still translate well

[@-johnnylaker7949]

I'd love to play a game with this song!!

[@LOVESICKVIPER]

God, this gives me such a Pokémon TCG vibe and I love it

[@colinedgar6742]

Yo a Thundercat video game though? I'd play the heck out of that, befriending cats and slicing through enemies with a katana.

[@bitblitz]

Dude TCat could DEFINITELY use a video game

[@Roy_1]

I like the dissonant parts you added

[@leomoreno7023]

You did it with a perfectly good job re-creating the song. 👍

[@bitblitz]

Much appreciated!

[@ginogarcia8730]

This channel is top tier music like bill wurtz married to video games

[@bitblitz]

Damn you are too kind! Thanks for checkin it out ✌️

[@isaacisenorsound]

This is insanely good

[@RunonMusic]

Omg, please do more Thundercat, Ive been wanting to cover some of their stuff as well

[@bitblitz]

Any T-Cat in particular you'd want to hear?

[@RunonMusic]

@@bitblitz I love their stuff, these are on my list of possibilities: Fleer Ultra Is It Ultra? Jamboree Jethro Blackkk

[@bitblitz]

@@RunonMusic Noted :)

[@micahbradley7024]

Dragonball Durag would be awesome also XD

[@Joxsund]

@@bitblitz as stated above, blackkk would absolutely fit in with this style beautifully! My favorite thundercat tune of all time is "Is it Love?" off his first album in 2011. but aesthetically and musically would be a bit harder to pull off due its more complex harmony and improvised solos. but whatever you end up doing im down! i'll be here hah

[@davidchua1624]

Love this man!!

[@bitblitz]

thanks a bunch!

[@shitpostpanhell]

I needed this.

[@schwarzgeist4024]

man this is gold!!

[@bitblitz]

thanks dude!

[@TheBoringReason]

Lol, how does this sound so good actually

[@spiritdetectivesteve4691]

Dragonball Durag, Fan Mail, and Captain Stupido would be 🔥🔥

[@bitblitz]

Hah! I literally released a version of Fan Mail before checking out this comment :)

[@choco_L8]

that b section is just as beautiful as the original

[@HowlingHouseProductions]

I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo *breathes* ooooooooooove this! Hahahah

[@moritzmerlot232]

great cover !

[@akarixxx]

damn this slaps ( good job )

[@hazydor6368]

Awesome bro 👍🔥

[@sayhelllotomylittlefriends]

Like for Isley Brothers album cover at the beginning

[@bitblitz]

Big ❤️ for Isley

[@riomar88]

I didn't know I needed this but I Did.

[@bitblitz]

Much appreciated 😶

[@worlblaaouybloib7695]

so good

[@theweeklydosage]

Actively looking for my Gameboy now to fire up this cartridge.

[@Oakwoodrecords]

This is fucking incredible

[@walmys2nd]

Dude hell yeah dudr

[@trcee_]

This is really awesome! If this is made by you, which I assume is true by the description, I really think you should post this o some music streaming platforms!

[@bitblitz]

Thanks so much! I had a blast making this, especially making the Kamasi Washington Bot shred at the end ❤ At the moment I have my original music from the channel available to Patreon supporters of all tiers, but if Spotify ever starts making steps to pay out their artists more fairly I'm open to migrating some BitBlitz stuff there, including trying to properly license these arrangements.

[@trcee_]

@@bitblitz Awesome! Also sites like band camp for example could be other good options. But anyways yeah I love this!

[@ginogarcia8730]

Holey moley

[@so3pleasesubscribe715]

Can you do an 8 bit cover of Just as I thought by David Sancious

[@bitblitz]

Thank you for showing this tune to me
