Oh, you're just saying that. We know you liked it. Besides you were asking for it with that skimpy NES controller belt buckle and that "I love Donkey Kong" t-shirt.
they should do this song in 8-bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6yFBwGjAm0
and someone should take the bass from the guitar hero track http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jjX4-d3wuY and put it to the original video (the bass is really really weak in the original vid, and the guitar hero version has the crowd and guitar hero noises stuck in it ... someone with audacity or something get on it, pronto.

I love the roll of Rick. It has grown into a cancer of the brain.

fuck. I popped a tab with that video just to listen, and I was about to write "You do know there's an 8bit tag on last.fm right?"
Then it came on, and I'd realized that I'd be hosed. You bastard.

Wow... I don't know whether to congratulate you or to scold you... Meanie. :(

Hate to nitpick, but this is a 2A03 tune, which only had 4-bit DACs.

Megaman 2 has forever made me love 8-bit music.

A personal favorite of mine that you might like.

I have every one of the level themes on my phones as ringtones. From Megaman 3 as well.

For those wanting their money back, you can hear a genuine new song for the c64, with a hat tip to /r/scene for pointing me to it (which could also do with some love).

Does this mean there's somewhere that has just the vocals?
I followed the guy's link on the youtube page to the mp3s of this song. He has a version with and without vocals. By subtracting the non-vocal version from the vocal version, its clear this person had access to the master recording.
By the way, the result you get from this, sadly, is not stand-alone vocals. The "cymbal" track remains with the vocals because the cymbal sound consists of random noise, which does not cancel. I.E. the non-vocal mp3 was not the bed for the vocal mp3.
There's programs to subtract vocals and methods of audio editing to do it also.
Yep, and it usually does a mediocre job at best; typically you can still hear artifacts from the original music, and the clarity is dismal. Sometimes you can get away with that if you are mixing them into a new track, as the music will cover up some of the awfulness.
The vocals from the results above are amazingly clear and crisp. There are also subtle background vocals that would be impossible to extract from the original track via software or traditional editing techniques with such clarity.
