The POKEY is awesome, go away. It sounds like the 2600's TIA on steroids. Granted, it isn't nearly as good as the C64's legendary SID chip, or even the General Instruments (?) chip the NES uses, but it has a very unique sound. The song in the OP just doesn't utilize it's strengths well enough. Here's a collection of songs that sound much better: http://youtu.be/gxeSXrnOCEw
And here's a game with quite an excellent soundtrack: http://youtu.be/lRuhcpSvXdk

And while we're on the subject of the SID, here's a few of my favorites:

I may just be 80's-blocked due to my 1998 birth date, and over-exaggerating.

Maybe, though that doesn't make any sense since I was born just three years before you, in a time when the only console Atari produced was the Jaguar, and General MIDI and CD music were the greatest things ever.
Also, another NES song, which is part of a programming demo: http://youtu.be/eQ-OcS2Gwvk
