The Smiths' 'This Charming Man' Redone As 8-Bit Video Game Music

The Smiths, one of the most beloved British bands of all time, have received the 8-bit treatment thanks to a very talented Soundcloud user. While 8-bit remakes of popular songs are hardly rare, this one is exceptionally well done.

Soundcloud user "lazyitis" has transformed the band's classic single "This Charming Man" into an NES era number. It's great, and we'd hope the band's controversial frontman Morrissey would think so, too. But he probably doesn't. Here's to you, Moz!

You can listen below, and I've also included a video of the original song for comparison's sake. Enjoy.
