Saitone was an artist I came to through random clicking on Youtube. I got really into chiptunes music a while back when I busted out my Color Gameboy for no apparent reason. If I had a spare $50 lying around, I’d pick up the LSDJ cartridge in a heartbeat, and make my own. There are many a chiptunes artist that I enjoy, with Desert Planet quickly earning his own blog post in the coming weeks, as I can’t get a few of his songs out of my head.

But this is about Saitone, and this is about two songs specifically that I love so much they simply could not be separate blog posts. They are too good to break up. First off we have his brilliant cover of Michael Jackson’s Thriller:

Seriously…? Do you see what he did there? Holy crap. Then, he went and pulled this one on me:

It’s not hard to make an awesome cover of Smooth Criminal…in my opinion Alien Ant Farm did a pretty good job back in the day, but when your chiptunes version puts the original “Moonwalker” music to shame, that takes talent.
