Kindercomp!

When I was young (very young), I had a Commodore 64. And one of the games for it was Kindercomp. Doing a quick search for it on Moby Games (the link), says Spinnaker also made it for Atari 8-Bit and ZX-Spectrum, among a few other systems. What I want to do is make a Kindercomp-style game for the Atari 2600. Here's what I have for the title screen so far. It's a little over 2k. The guy is playing a flute (and NOT smoking a cigarette), and to make sure I added notes coming out of the flute. I wanted to have him play a violin like in the original Kindercomp, but that proved to be too hard to draw. The Kindercomp title screen played "Turkey In the Straw." I chose to write an original composition. Tell me what you all think of the title screen for this maybe-after-GoSub game.
