Songs ABOUT videogames

[Soyvoyage]

This is a song by tripod, a terribly amusing Australian threesome that pop up on TV and radio occasionaly (then again, who doesn't). "Why should I listen to this possibly awful song?" I hear you say, firstly because it isn't awful and this is a song about Pac-Man, why shouldn't you?

They have written a few songs about games, so I shall endevour to find the rest.

A powerpop group from California I'm somewhat fond of have done a few.

The only one most people have access to can be found on this abominably-designed page (http://www.kungfurecords.com/html/mp3.htm). "Game Over".

They did that amusing song about sex being an awful distraction when trying to finishing a video game.

I'm sure I've heard some other bands try to be amusing using video game culture, but nothing comes to mind.

Del the Funkee Homosapien did an awsome song about videogames called "proto culture"

awesome, that is, if you like hip-hop. And i mean hip-hop (read: Jurassic 5) not rap (read: 50cent)

There's always nerdcore.

I'm sure you've all heard System of a Down's 'Legend of Zelda Theme'. It's pretty amusing.

God, are people still giving System of a Down credit for that song? They didn't fuckin' do it! As if they would!

You've got to admit that those vocals are very similar to Serj's. It's an awesome song anyway!

[Patrick Alexander]

I don't have to admit anything! I want a lawyer!

Lol, I thought it was SOAD too. Time to rename a file.

I saw a video of a song called "Samus Aran I love you" on Youtube once, but I could never find it again.

[Poisonedv]

You know what I hate? Bands that cover video game music. The advantage, mini-bosses, warp pipes, etc. How can people actually listen to this stuff? Video game music is supposed to torture you with incessent loops.

I can't think of any good music with an homage to video games.

When I was 11 every time my friend and I played that we sang that song.
oohhhh jyeahhh

[Soyvoyage]

Wow. I am quite glad that wasn't a part of my childhood.
