Getting a slight Super Mario World vibe.  DJ set at Donut Plains?  The snare reminds me of some of the sound effects they use for Yoshi.

Love the lead melody sound that appears at 35%.

OH total Yoshis at 50%!  So I wasn't totally off in my remark smile

Althought the Yoshi sound wasn't intentional, I could totally see them dancing to this song!

It does seem to have a little bit of that Super Mario vibe.  It's certainly upbeat and catchy!

It's real in the sense that exists in a prop closet somewhere. But no, he did not grow it. lol

Nice videogame style.
And I really like that you don't have forgotten to make it real Music.
Great Bass! Great Drums!

What kind of synths you are using on this one?

I think I used mostly Sytrus, FLStudio's FM synth, capable of reading DX7 patches with decent success. Not all DX7 patches sound right, but it's usually a good start to capture that retro sound. I usually tweak them a bit to make 'em a little weird, add vibrato and widen the stereo a bit. FM8 has better options for that, but Sytrus plays better with FL, especially when it comes to glissando (FL's piano roll glissando only works with FL native plugins, but it's faster to write than traditional midi pitch-bends). Using native FL plugins also future-proofs my tracks, so I usually try to stick those or free plugins whenever possible.

Ain't no party like a Dad Pants party. I'm putting my Dad Dancing Pants on now for some footloose fun!

Perfect Saturday morning easy listening tune. Sounds like a funny parody of the serious blah blah of most people around me during the past week. Have a jolly weekend

Is there a dancing video game made for aging dads? Maybe there should be, or maybe humanity should be spared just that?
Either way, this track is great. Strikes a very cool balance between a video game vibe and digital funk. Brightens my day!

Although now that I think about it, I should probably put more other random tracks in here as well... just haven't had the time to think about it lately.

I didn't get the title until about halfway through, when the trumpet sound kicked in and it turned into a "Bob" Dobbs dance party

Haven't seen Bob since the intro to PeeWee's Playhouse!
