Instrumental covers of Pulp songs

I mentioned at the RAH meetup that I enjoyed doing karaoke with 'obscure' Pulp songs (most people do Common People; I did 'Help The Aged' and 'This Is Hardcore'). However, Pulp karaoke tracks don't get much more obscure than this. I was listening to Pulp Portfolio 9 and 'Didn't Feel A Thing' came on. I thought it was such a great song, I decided to have a go at making a instrumental version of it. I fired up FL Studio, and this is what I came up with (for best results, set quality to at least 360p):

I wonder what sort of reaction I'd get in a karaoke bar if I sang this.

I've done another instrumental cover version. The song is also obscure but please don't worry, it's not that obscure. It's...Please Don't Worry.

I was off work today, so I opened up FL Studio and started doodling around (as I often do) and by the end of the day, I had this. I might revisit it at some point, but for now enjoy.

Not had a chance to listen yet, but I adore your avatar. Is there a full size version?

Love it! Keep 'em coming. How about Sink or Swim or The Boss?

It's funny you should mention The Boss, as I made a MIDI of it about a year ago that I submitted to the Pulp MIDIs website, but I had never got round to doing a proper instrumental version of it until you mentioned it.

(This has been revised, please see the post below)

Thanks, I enjoyed these (and would like to suggest 'Don't You Know' if you feel like doing another)

 Yeah, on retrospect that riff is quite jarring. I'll try tweaking it and I'll reupload a new version soon.

EDIT: I made a few tweaks to the song, mainly:

  • Removed the theremin in the background (it was starting to get on my nerves and didn't really add anything to the song).
  • Moved the riff down an octave and changed the instrument to something more friendly to the ears.
  • Changed the main guitar instrument.

Here's the revised version of The Boss. Hopefully it's an improvement on the previous version:

Good stuff! If Pulp made a soundtrack to a Megadrive game I bet it would sound like this
