Maenner by Ratti?

[grandta13]

There is a program called Music Shop for the Commodore 64, developed by Broderbund, that allows for music composition and playback on a Commodore 64. It comes preloaded with a number of pre-existing compositions (such as Pachelbel's Canon and the Nutcracker Suite). There is one such composition listed that I am not familiar with and cannot fin any information on titled 'Maenner by Ratti' (The title uses all the characters available, so the name of the composer may be cut off). I was wondering if anyone here might have an idea of what it is. I have included a screenshot of the first page and audio recording for reference.

Not a clue. I used the Google Now feature to listen to the track and try and identify it, and I got four random results that sounded... not really like it at all. plus they were too recently made. Sorry I couldn't help. Never heard it before. But that's a pretty neat thing you found.

I think I may have found it. A German song by the name of "Männer" (which would be "maenner" spelled without the umlaut mark) by Herbert Grönemeyer seems to be awfully similar, at least in the melody, harmony, and bass. Didn't find any link to the "Ratti" part, but that could be the person who made the chirptune version for the C64. Here are two versions:

Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for. But the 'by Ratti' still confuses me; none of the other songs, including Let It Be had any such annotation.

Glad I could help! ^^ Good luck finding info on that "Ratti" thing xD
