Lazy Jones is a computer game for the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, MSX and Tatung Einstein. It was written by David Whittaker and released by Terminal Software in 1984.

The game's chiptune music has a very characteristic sound that is distinct from many other C64 games. Each of the 21 subtunes is using only two voices of the SID chip which in turn use the same sawtooth sound. One voice plays a simple octave bassline for the most part, while the other one is adding the melody. All the tunes share the same tempo as well and they change seamlessly when playing another sub game.

Subtune 21, named "Star Dust", was used by the German producer team Zombie Nation in their song Kernkraft 400 without permission. Florian Senfter ("Splank!") later paid an undisclosed sum to David Whittaker for the use of the melody.

The tune and title for 99 Red Balloons comes from the English name of the song 99 Luftballons by German songstress Nena. (This having been the version which reached #1 on the UK singles chart). Visage's "Fade to Grey" is also heard.
