Ashley Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Thought I'd give this a try! Noticed a few songs recently that referenced video games, thought it may be interesting to see how many we can 'find'. Created a collaborate Spotify playlist. Feel free to add! Two songs I've added mention Ocarina of Time and Smash Bros. Don't have to be Nintendo though. This may flop...
nekunando Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Flavor of the Weak by American Hi-Fi mentions 'Nintendo' a few times..
-Dem0- Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Sounds interesting... but I don't listen to music, so it doesn't seem like I'll be finding any video game references anytime soon.
Retro_Link Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 ^ Pitbull smilie! Off the top of my head Pitbull seems to love a bit of Donkey Kong... :p
Josh64 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 ^ Pitbull smilie! Off the top of my head Pitbull seems to love a bit of Donkey Kong... :p This song was the first thing that popped into my head, too Can't stand the song personally, Rihanna's singing voice really grates on me and it was so overplayed but when being forced to listen to it once more I did notice this: "But you promised her, next time you show restraint, you don't get another chance, life is no Nintendo game" or is it?
The Peeps Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Mentions Atari a lot and the sound effects in the intro are from Breakout
bob Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 "I guess he's an Xbox, and I'm more Atari, But the way you play your game ain't fair."
Nyubi Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Haven't listened to music in years but that Eminem picture reminded me of an older song by him Audio Couldn't do the time thingy but from 2:50 onwards he mentions the N64 when he grabs it and then again later when he lost it.

Mokong Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Flavor of the Weak by American Hi-Fi mentions 'Nintendo' a few times.. I remember seeing American Hi-Fi in concert and being in a crowd of almost 10,000 people all screaming "Nintendo" during that song was awesome:D EDIT How's this Though the playing of a "Mario" game while using PS3 controllers does piss me off Edited February 12, 2013 by Mokong Automerged Doublepost
V. Amoleo Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Doesn't mention anything in the lyrics but the video contains consoles. Alien Ant Farm - Glow Edit: This one mentions Commodore in the lyrics. The Birthday Massacre - Video Kid Need to stop thinking about it now, I'm supposed to be working Edit 2: This one mentions Pac-man! Kaiser Chiefs - Oh My God Edited February 13, 2013 by V. Amoleo
