Story

My entry for the Arok 2021 Remix compo.

 

I made a Show and Tell video of this to demonstrate how the remix was created. 😊

 

This remix came about after I had entertained myself with trying to recreate the sound of Michael Jackson's Thriller. I thought the sound turned out pretty good, but since I can't sing like MJ I had to think of something else to do with the new sound I had created.

 

Ghosts 'n Goblins has sort of a Thriller vibe to it, with the graveyard and zombies on the first level. So I set out to merge the sound of the two tunes, and this is the result.

 

I hope you like it. 😊

 

Lyrics

It's close to midnight

And Astaroth is lurking in the dark

Under the moonlight

Bats and ogres want to tear you apart

 

On computer screens

Goblins try to catch you before you make it

If you even sneeze

Something's gonna hit you between the eyes

 

Cuz ghosts 'n goblins, in the night

Are trying to stop you from reaching the top

Ghosts 'n Goblins is

Tricky stuff

 

You see the scroll freeze

And realize there is nowhere left to run

You feel the cold hand

And wonder if this level will ever be done

 

Wide open eyes

Yet you just never seem to catch them all

And all the while

There is creatures creeping up from behind

 

 

Cuz ghosts 'n goblins, in the night

Are trying to stop you from reaching the top

Ghosts 'n Goblins is

Tricky stuff

The madman Makke strikes again with yet another bundle of pure fun. Prepare to be taken back in time...
This is so outstanding. Obvious combination, but nobody did it before. Great track, Makke!
Haha... Let's get on the dance floor. Would love to hear it with another vocal (it's a bit weak here and there)
Extremly creative approach here. Well done!!! Only thing missing is Vincent Price talking about creatures crawling and terrorized neighbourhoods.:)
Fun fun fun!
Cuz Ghosts and Goblins will be all I ever hear again when I hear Thriller
Awesome and very clever, Makke! *practicing Jackos dance moves diligently*
OMG! But this one... Oh yeah! Genius! Love it!
Effing A!!! 😃👍 Should've won the Árok 2021 remix compo...
Wow
So much fun, and enjoyable to mash this up with Thriller for the pure hell of it.
Wonderful!!!
Perfect remix, nuff said.
So much effort and vocal effort, so much fun to listen to! Deserves a big smile!
Wow this was awesome!

I'm just so happy that Makke re-entered the … eh, scene. His (yours, Makke) stuff continues to be super innovative, packaged in a purrfect retro box. All I want, really.
