I wasn't planning on doing any 8-bit covers of the intros for Gran Turismo. But, I thought I'd give this one a go, given the recent passing of Van Halen guitarist Eddie Van Halen. This song is a classic on its own, but its placement in the US intro of GT4 just cemented it as a childhood memory for many, including myself. So, in memory of a legendary talent, here is Van Halen's Panama in 8-bit. P.S. Admittedly, I got a bit lazy, as there is no original pixel art in this one. But, I did want to focus more on the transcription. "Moon Over the Castle" originally composed by Mashiro Andoh.

Someone's in the bedroom with Margaret! We are attempting to intimidate, infuriate, and perhaps even...inseminate??? the ghost of Margaret Tha- THOMPSON. She brings the room to a nippy -11 Celsius before flickering the lights to show us how much she likes and cares for us. This happens often, we make wonderful friends with the spirit and end up creating beautiful memories together. I have at least 8 ghouls in my contacts and we hang out on the reg! Whether it's in the janky bathroom or the aster bedroom, we always love hanging out with good 'ole Margaret and we hope to be back real soon to have even more breathtaking, mind-blowing good times! I'm kidding, of course. I'm extremely ghostist. Now, let's show this prehistoric bitch how we do things in Farmville.

I AM SPONSORED BY EVERYONE. BUT ALSO, NO ONE. There's one reason I will likely never take a sponsorship. No matter how well-meaning, necessary, sincere, or fitting they are, they will always seem intrusive to me, tampering with the ultimate goal of a YouTube video: to provide seamless, uninterrupted information or entertainment. I don't believe there will ever be room for paid advertising in my throat; there's too much else to say... TODAY, HOWEVER, I'M GETTING SPONSORSHIP SLOPPY SECONDS! THERE'S A SHILLING CIRCLE JERK OCCURRING ABOVE MY FACE AND IT'S RAINING DOWN WITH THOSE HOT YOUTUBE BUCKS! But, still...I can't help but feel insecure in the midst of all these ad reads. These are not my words...or my thoughts. I may agree with the words on the page, but what does it mean if I'm just being paid to say them? If I need that motivation, do I truly mean what I say? IF YOU'RE FEELING INSECURE, MAYBE YOU SHOULD SIGN UP FOR EXPRESSVPN! IT'LL MAKE YOUR INTERNET LOOK LIKE IT'S ON THE GODDAMN MOON! NO AGENCY OR CORPORATION OR GUY IN STARBUCKS WITH A LAPTOP IS GONNA GET YOUR INFORMATION FROM THE LUNAR SURFACE! Well, that may be the case, but... SEARCH YOUR FEELINGS, YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE!

We can defeat this monster! I mean, I'll take the coupon code. But...this isn't a video about ads or sponsorships; it's a video about good times, and finding new friends, and meeting up with old ones, just when you never expected you would. It's about the pleasant, stress-free atmosphere of a Taco Bell, save for the fecal symphony playing in the restrooms. It's about what happens when a friend takes 6 shots of Bacardi 151 and eats 5 burritos and a cheesy rollup; exactly what you think would happen! In that same vein, it's about science and the way that we can apply logic to everyday situations, as thinking beings (Beans, if you're Tommy Wiseau). I think what we have here is something that cannot be bought out. It cannot be sold or have a price put upon it. What we have here is chaotic and we'd best not have it any other way... DUDE, ARE YOU DONE? IT'S TIME FOR THE HARRY'S RAZOR AD READ. Oh...sorry.
