Those backgrounds look so good. I wonder if they'll be able to do anything with the iconic music.

There are already remakes of MI tunes for C64:

With a SID? No problem. I think the title track could be arranged very easily for three voices.

You can do amazing things with only a single SID channel. One of the most impressive examples is the in-game music of Hawkeye [1] which allows to use the remaining two channels for sound effects.

That was made by Jeroen Tel, one of the wizards of the C64 music scene. See this for another example of a technical feat with the SID chip:

Even the PC speaker version is pretty good, so I would absolutely second this.
