What about that Mario themed country song from T-Dar 35? I know it was somewhere in the 30's, I'm pretty sure it was 35.

This is kind of like a haven of coolness for me. It deserves to be bookmarked immediately.

But that kid singing makes me just want too set him on fire, behead him, take out his voice box, lash him with barbed wire and then throw him into a river. It annoys me when someone thinks their good at something but really they sound like a mouse caught in a bicycle chain.

But this is the best article i have read for a long time. Kudos Brett, kudos.

I could perfectly picture the guys at the top of the article singing along to "King of the Koopas".

I really am hooked on the Brothers, it's no laughing matter.

I just need one more star, man...one more star...

I like Chinese Ninja Warrior. Those 12 year olds are terrible!

I'm sorry to tell you Mr. Elston but I loved the Space Invaders song.

"I expected the zelda song by system of a down to be here"

HEY C'MON!
That was great. Pure fanboy stuff. Lyrics were AT LEAST on par with T.S. Eliot and Walt Whitman.
AT LEAST.

That's not System of a Down.

At about 2 minutes into the "Video Games" song, it sounds like he just burped into video games.

The Yellow Magic Orchestra had a song out called "Computer Games" that didn't have lyrics, but opened up with all the sounds from that game where you jumped on a teeter totter, and popped balloons above you. Late 70's, very early 80's. Extremely cheesy. I'm just sayin'...

I still have the Killer Cuts CD, and listen to it now and then. It's awesome, and awesomely hilarious, and awesomely bad. We need a new KI.
Also, there needs to be an archer character, so that when his/her moves are interrupted, the guy can say BOW-BREAKER.

Del tha Funky Homosapien has a song on Both Sides of the Brain that's all about video games, called Protoculture, that's pretty cheesy. He even mentions the Turbo Grafx at one point.

wow. just wow. That was...wow. But I noticed that almost all of the songs were perfectly fine until the people started singing...then it always descended into "what. the. hell." I was laughing constantly. It's probably because I can't take music about videogames seriously. And that first video had me gasping for breath I was laughing so hard. Is that the real opening of the show, or did someone edit over it?

OH MY GOD. I hadn't watched the last video yet when I wrote that other comment. OH MY GOD. WORST VOICE EVER. It makes me feel kind of bad for the kid though...
