Just the guitar part of my song “4 player super bomberman”, played on my 7-string
Super Bomberman is a game I’ve never played. But I happen to know that to get it in ‘4 player mode’ requires secret/insider knowledge. It's the stuff of internet legend. I don't really care about computer games, despite my interest in old computer game music (it's on the todo list).
The song is dedicated to an old friend with whom I’ve lost contact. We used to call him Daddy Dickfingers on account of his large hands and chubby fingers. One day he came home with the immortal line, in a Geordie accent:
Hey Sue, wake up the kids. 4 player super bomber man, like!
You had to be there.
The song is about the thrill of escaping into a world of your own creation. When you are the moon, you're the only one who knows how to get into 4 player mode. Another one I need to record … I have the lyrics and melody. I need to come up with bass and drums for this bad boy.
