Remember that song "Blue"? That song from the late nineties that was irritating beyond all levels of measure? Spawned one of the worst music videos ever? Let's refresh your memory. When you've finished screaming in horror and/or laughing hysterically, let me tell you about a little song called "My Console" by Eiffel 65, the same people who did "Blue."
Seriously though, did you watch that video? It's a fucking goldmine of unintentional comedy.
Moving on.
I owned Eiffel 65's Europop. It was one of the first records I ever bought, and I was blown away by it. Of course, I was eight years old, so I would've been blown away by the fact that my ding-dong could make babies come out of a girl's hoo-hah. Nostalgia is the only thing that keeps me from hating the album, which now sounds like a very very very poor man's Discovery (one of my favorite albums).
When I heard this song, all I knew was that it was about video games. I had never heard of these games (eight years old and I only had Pokemon Red and a Gameboy Color), so I always just imagined a super smash bros moving to the beat of the song. I cannot make this up.
Looking back, I'm baffled by the amount of games crammed into a four and a half minute song. I've never played any of these games, but I'm sure the people who have might appreciate it.
Lyrics:
We gonna play the game the playstation all day
With metal gear solid to tekken 3.
And from omega boost to resident evil
Just play for the fun
'Cus we got it going on.
Tekken 3, metal gear solid
Resident evil, gran turismo, omega boost,
Bloody roar, x-files, all over the world
Come on
Ridge Racer
Odd world
Winning Eleven
The game on the playstation

IDK, the song is awesome. I remember listening to it on some dance mix cd my cousin had, I was like 5, so I never knew whatit was about, besides the first line.
I have a more faster version of the song on my ipod. Sounds more natural than the original. But thats probably because I've been listening to it for a while. A lot more catchier when sped up IMO

haha in germany "resident evil" was bleeped out because it was on the index list ;)
Haha the fan-video was weird, but it gets bonus points for showing constant footage of Hwoarang kicking people's asses.
This video also sums up why I played my PSX more than the 64.
I had/have this album.
I've listened to this song, like, once.
Yeah...I wonder if it was meant to be like a theme song or product-placement fever, as I never heard it anywhere outside of the album. =P

Omega Boost mother FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I thought this album was amazing when I was 8 too. I never knew what he was saying when he said "Tekken 3" though. Or "Winning Eleven."
