Go ahead. Sing it with me. You know you want to. "I can feel it coming over me, I feel it all around me..." And then there's the power chorus: "Indestructible! I wont let nobody take me down..." That's right. Sing that sh*t!
People either love or hate the opening song to Street Fighter 4, titled "The Next Door," from the Japanese pop group Exile. They went out of their way to sing it in English for you, even. I think maybe the original Japanese version of the song sounds a bit less cheesy, but I may be alone in that. Regardless, there's plenty of other great songs in the Street Fighter 4 soundtrack, and they're all streaming now on AOL Radio's Video Game Scores station, in rotation with plenty of other great game music.
As we told you before, Capcom soundtracks are coming by way of Sumthing Else Music. They remind us today that the two-disc soundtrack will go on sale next week, May 26th. Check out samples and order the CD here.

MAKE IT STOP!
Phase 1: First time playing, I am embarrassed that Capcom would use this song as the Street Fighter opening music. WTFBBQ is this a joke?
Phase 2: Oh my god, this is not a joke. It is on every main menu in the game. It restarts from the beginning every time. FUUUUUU...
Phase 3: Play my own music. Get tired of my own music.
Phase 4: I am numb from the hatred. I hate the song so much, I cannot even hear it anymore. It is a part of me, and I take it out on Zangief players.

There's only one thing to do. Embrace the awesomeness.
And you know you could just tune out the lyrics and listen to the beat which really isn't bad. I do that with most shitty Japanese songs I hear. :P
That's why the Japanese soundtrack is better for everything SF related. The move names sound better, Sonic Boom, Shoryuken, Hadouken all sound better in Japanese. Oh plus Anime, Japan FTW.
I was watching some SF videos on Youtube with the American voices, cut scenes etc. and it is HORRIBLE. I've never heard the opening theme in English thank god, as it actually sounds good I think.
Street Fighter II HD Remix's soundtrack (which is even free) is much better. Don't waste your money on this.
