STIL comment"We had this coin op in the office at Elite and we spent many an hour 'researching' it. The music however used many channels and didn't have a particularly catchy theme so I did an original composition. The tune is a bit on the weird side but I thought that it went quite well with the fairly slow pace of the cycling round the streets bit of the game. On the coin op there were a number of speech samples and some of these were put into the Amiga version of the game which did have the original music." (MC)

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

redhot:
Geniuses… I really appreciated the final sentence in venetian…
LMan:
Genius. Sheer genius.
Anbalsilfer:
I don't normally listen to rap music (kinda like the girl in the song: p) but this shit is downright awesome! 😃 The paperboy theme is great material for a rap song. The Swedish lyrics are a bit lame, though. (yes, I'm Swedish)
Mordi:
I don't think this is meant to be taken very seriously. Amazing production.
condor:
Amazing! Whoa! 😃
Gothmog:
Geil! X-D
anaconda:
The C64Mafia does it again! Though not perfect, it's originality really earns an Outstanding mark. This proves that you don't have to be 100% faithful to the song to make a really good remake! More, more!
bitmage:
Funny remix. Even better if you can speak german (did they say actually Sachsen-Paule?) 😀
weasel:
FINALLY a _very_ cool PAPERBOY remix again! So it IS possible as you all can see here! THANKS A LOT FOR THAT ONE! And a real FUNNY one, too! 😃
Gildan:

Ziphoid:
Don Peppino and the rest of da Mob - You rule!
kwed:
Once again the C64 Mafia tells it like it is, sticking it to anyone narrow-minded enough to dislike any musical genre on nothing but principle. Musically, the Paperboy track is beautifully rendered, and fits the flow perfectly.
slaygon:
As always - The C64Mafia brings an excellent production with some creative thinking to the community! Thank you!
Amok:
Einfach nur geil!!! 😃 commodoremuseum: You really start to get annoying…:(
dafunk:
Now this is a massive hit!^^
Dr-Duke:
LOL! Nice one!
Skitz:
I wish I understood the rap but still another fabulous C64Mafia release! GENIUS!
hillsman:
Still makes me laugh - and I love the concept.
omoroca:
Erinnert so ein bisschen an die peinlichen frühen Werke von Fanta 4! Aber cool gemacht!
Nada:
Funky
Danceaway:
Great mix… I love the acid type lead sound… Top mixing by MR UNZ…
Agemixer:
Now that's originality!. … Makke - The Paperboy Who Shagged Me 😉

The mafia return and are rapping in german?. . Awesome lol
Ic3m4n:
Great remix! Nice idea with that multi-language. More Rap-Remixes pls 😃
myridian:
Total abgefahren 😊 Nice one, really had me laughing there.
prowler:
If you can't beat them - join them!
_steve_:
I am not a fan of rap, but honestly, that was pretty good and fits the paperboy tune really well (just a shame I can't actually understand 90% of it - but there are translations above 😊)
nummer2:
Like it but not really outstanding for me
Zunk:
Nt
Beebop:
Well… I do understand the rap but that does not make things better. This one could be sooo good without the rap and scratching.
Nebdar:
Rap and German or Swedish language don't fit IMHO
kjetiln:
At least it sounds like you had a lot of fun making this
Dumper:
Once again a nice tune in the background, but ruined by the same old talking that's been heard billions of times before.
Satanarchist:
Ah rap - the choice of the failed singer.
commodoremuseum:
NO IT SUCKS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
