The clip's own information text really says it all, but the gist of it is:

This was made for a local TV program, where one small section of it 'features' my performance providing the background 'score' (if you can even call it that).
I was recored (quite poorly with just one, external handheld mic), playing my then brand new Casio keyboard, performing in just one take my own rendition of a then very popular pop song - but I won't tell you what song that is, that's 'the name of the game' here for y'all cool

I'll just give you just two hints: It was a new song in 1985, and I'm european wink


Thank goodness words aren't knives.

Ok, I'm not going to give it just yet with only one guess, but here's a big hint then (since the audio quality is admittedly less than stellar) - The band is British! Couple that with the year and massive popularity of that band back then, and you just might crack it wink

p.s. And "Incidentally", who said anything about a prize, you greedy buggers! crazy

Well, from the lack of responses, I'd say the audio volume and quality is so low that nobody can even properly hear the tune. I certainly couldn't.

Actually, the only thing that stood out was some sort of 'embellishment'? at 1:46

But I still can't recognize the song.

That's alright, and as you rightly point out, there's the overall quality and the audio was obviously not meant to highlight the song (quite the opposite) but just to mull in the back.

Anyway, that lil "guessing game" was just a spur of the moment thing I came up with to try make this a more interesting submission - the answer actually is "Chauffeur" by Duran Duran! laugh

See if you can make it out now that you have the answer wink

The Chauffer? Duran Duran?

Never would have got that. Your disguise was way too good. wink

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
