    Will someone please rip my ear drums out of my head? The Night Trap song was unbearable. The terrible song, awful "actors" who are probably now in porn, and hidious outfits from hell in the '90s. Rap in video games never ever sound good. Ever.

    You can't forget Mystical Ninja starring Goemon for N64. Sooooo cheesey. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsEm34XroCQ&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FchGIDPFANM Or how about the horrendous songs David Bowie recorded for Omikron

    The music was the best thing about Fugitive Hunter. I'm not too sure if that's a compliment... And I used to sing the ClayFighter tune all of the time.

    The rap played over the end credits of COD4 was absolutely painful to listen to. Good game, but gaaahh...that song...

    The first vid on Knight's Quest seemed more like some crappy fan-vid you would find on YouTube with the description - "ThischaracterXThischaracter FTW!! I iz AMV master! Done in Windows Movie Makers! :D" Lol

    The second Freaky Flyers one...christ, it's like William Hung got drunk and sang the Pumpkins' Zero at a karaoke bar.

    “Shoot the flying monkey, sink that funky li’l battleship... good God!”..........Good god indeed.

    Seriously how'de you forget the god hand (an amazing game IMO) theme lol "Dragon kick your ass into the milky way" and "god hand keeps my pimp hand strong" that is really cheezy. Though I couldn't make it through the DK rap another time.....it's just horrible.

    Great feature! You only missed Russian Roulette from Onimusha 2.

    ... I think i just developed a brain tumor from listening to the clay fighters song...

    Totally Ignored The GOD ARM Theme T_T

    The song played during the first mission of Sonic Adventure 2 was cheesy too

    sucks that Rare is with Microsoft cuz now theres no possibility of a GOOD Donkey 64 remake

  • skyguy343 - September 23, 2008 9:18 p.m.

    has anybody ever heard the fan-made Mega Man theme song?

  • bl00dyvalen7ine - September 23, 2008 9:15 p.m.

    Incredible Crisis reminded me of the theme from Kablam

  • bl00dyvalen7ine - September 23, 2008 9:01 p.m.

    Awesomely bad

    I'll mention this on the podcast too, but real quick, the Clay Fighter song doesn't sound quite that awful on the SNES cart. Something happened with the recording. It's still cheesy as hell though, and I simply had to have it on here.
