Quantcast



 
I'm a little late posting last week's Mushroom Singdom. A mixture of too much partying, Grand Theft Auto 4 playing, and sheer laziness kept me from posting this sooner. 
 
But anyway ... amazing! Last week was River City Ransom, and then we got Double Dragon! Nintendo is on a roll. And so am I. Using the title screen theme music as direct inspiration, I was struggling to find the lyric and melody. I finally hit on a stark vocal style with lines like, "Two mullets and rat tails...", which I rather liked. Then something strange happened. I noticed that I could sing Michael Jackson's "Beat It," complete with the chorus and everything, directly over this title page theme music. It fit perfectly. 
 
So, I present to you, O Members of Destructoid, a mash-up of a quintessential 80's beat-'em-up, and a quintessential 80's pop song. Check it.

Wow, for a second there I couldn't believe you'd already gotten songs for Pokemon Puzzle League and Renegade written and recorded. Nice job on Double Dragon though. :)

The skills displayed in the video alone were worth the price of admission. I was a lil disappointed in the River City Ransom skills last time though.

Haha, thats kick ass both because the song is great and watching anyone whoop major ass in Double Dragon is always impressive. Especially the first one as its the most fun but also one of the hardest in my opinion. Well done! Well done.

Awesome song, man! And the video was good too. Got me excited for some DD action!

@ AndyCat

Surely you can be a bit more witty with your trolling. C'mon, you're not gonna get those coolpoints you so desperately strive for with comments as lazy as that.
