The Error Macro Video Gallery - Music Box
Music. Makes the people. Come together. Some wise philosopher once said that, but we may never know who. The point is that people love music. And people love video games. But what if you combined them??????
You might get this, a video for Right Said Fred's Wonderman. The video, and from what I can tell the song itself, were whipped up as part of a promotion for the release of Sonic 3 in Europe. Featuring all the lyrical complexity Right Said Fred was famous for.
The Error Macro Video Gallery. If you take a nap he'll spin attack.
Making wacky pictures with Gmod is so horribly overdone, and yet I can't help but like this video. I think it's just because Father Grigori looks so chipper in his top hat.
The world's geekiest marching band performance. And that has to be pretty damned geeky. One must wonder how many people in the audience had no idea what they were doing.
For anyone disappointed by the song over the credits for Gears of War, I think you'll agree this would have served as a superior replacement.
The end credits for Portal were designed to look like an old system terminal, so someone got an old 2 MHz 8080 computer to output the text and a beepy version of Still Alive (as rendered by a Commodore 64 soundchip).
So a while back somebody decides, quite randomly, to write a song about Super Mario RPG and sing it (or use a text-to-speech program, it's kind of hard to tell) over the tune Forest Maze from the game's soundtrack. Odd, but whatever.
But then a couple of years later, some people are so inspired by this random song from nowhere that they cover it, expand it, and add a rap break. And they're all Brazilian or something but they're doing it in English. Sometimes I just don't understand the Internet.
While looking at links related to this video, I found a GameFAQs topic asking whether Smithy was Satanic. Nevermind, the Internet makes perfect sense.
Elsewhere in the world of fan songs dedicated to video games, you have this summary of the Shenmue experience. You can't go wrong with a chorus like that.
And just to end on a positive note, this is a good Go! Team song and its video is relevant to video games. How fortunate!

That Shenmue song is awesome.
