What a guy! The music from Commando is the best C64 soundtrack in my opinion. Love it!

I didn't realize that he had adapted the melody from the arcade version.

I think Rob uses "You Know" as a comma in his speech lol

A lot of British people do that. Rob Hubbard and Paul McCartney are bad for saying "you know" so often you could just keep using it if you are trying to do an impersonation of them.

It's the Northern English equivalent of "umm" or "like". Personally I don't find it annoying like those two other filler terms.

@@kylej.whitehead-music309 Yep, I'm not a northerner but I didn't even notice he was using it that much, I was too engrossed in the story!

he missed the best part... that morning after finishing the music, he grabbed every c64 he could find in the office and loaded up the music and walked out the door.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJZ-ja54mJPYiYk.html I broke down and rebuilt the sound from ch1 in commando at the very start.. it's insane he starts off with sawtooth then goes into noise and back to sawtooth switching between octaves and the C64 (well, the Sid) was actually able to process that) and here's me having issues on a PS4 over 30 years later. So then I had to remake the tune... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aqmBfcWUzNSaops.html
