Music About Video Games

[Signalstar]

Here are some songs about video games that I would like to share. They are not necessarily songs taken from video game soundtracks, but still mention or are related to games in some way.

Proto Culture by Del The Funkee Homosapien

This is probably my favorite hip-hop song about gaming. He mentions a bunch of pre-2000 classics. Gotta love a song that recognizes how awesome Rival Schools is.

PS2 by Litany

A love song about a boy that happens to have the name of one of the greatest consoles ever as its title.

Video Games by Lana Del Ray

I think this song is about a woman complaining about her boyfriend playing too much video games. Pretty emotional actually.

Green Hill Zone  by Jon Batiste

A piano cover of the Green Hill Zone music from the acclaimed and award-winning musician Jon Batiste. I imagine he must have played Sonic growing up and it is pretty cool he wanted to record a cover of this track.

Street Fighter Mix  by DJ Toure ft. Mistah Fab

This was part of a promotional album released to advertise Super Street Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix. This is my favorite track. It's great for working out and features cool Street Fighter references.
