About the song
Finally worked out how to make nice IDM beats so the rest was just slapped over in a rush of excitement. The recent 80's revival and my love of air hockey inspired the title/lyrics.
Lyrics
(First verse was originally something like this but I forgot it hence in the track the second verse is repeated twice)

I'd like to go out tonight
Catch up with my friends
But it's much cheaper to stay here
And program my drum machine in bed

I'd like to meet my idols / heroes
But I think they're all dead
I'll just go back to my room
And play my keyboard instead

This will settle the score (falsetto)

Once they were given, they couldn't give any more
The air hockey champions, from 1984

This will settle the score (falsetto)
