Video Game Mixlist

Posted by Zonk on from the those-russians-know-a-good-beat dept.

The Onion A.V. club's website has up a feature listing off some excellent game related mixes. From the article: "4. Mr. Bungle, 'Theme From Tetris (Ska Version)' Not Britney Spears, not Linda Perry, not John Lennon or Paul McCartney--no one has written a song as burrowing-brainworm catchy as the theme from Tetris. (Coupled with the falling bricks, it's like virtual heroin.)" Seen on the ffwd linklog.

  1. M.U.L.E.! by TripMaster+Monkey · · Score: 4, Funny


    Back when I was in college, I recorded about 30 minutes of the M.U.L.E. theme from my Commodore 64...we would play the tape in the car when driving around.

    I was such a geek...

  2. Nah... by Megane · · Score: 4, Funny
    I find the Mario and Zelda themes to be much catchier. Maybe it's because I never seriously played the NES Tetris at the time. Instead, I mostly played a ripoff for the Mac that had no sound whatsoever.

    What's really interesting about the Zelda theme is that it was a last-minute thing. They were going to use Bolero, but found out that it was still under copyright. And who can forget Captain Lou Albano singing "Do The Mario"?
