Eiffel 65's tribute to Video Games (My Console)

I'm going through my old CDs today and ripping them down to my iPod, when I came across my old Eiffel 65 CD and that great song My Console... if you've never heard it, here are the lyrics (they are quite nostalgic):

My Console (Playstation) - Eiffel 65

we're 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
cos we got it going on.

tekken 3, metal gear solid
resident evil, gran turismo, omega boost,
bloody rhoar, x-files, another world
come on
ridge racer
odd world
we get a living
that came in our posession

P. L. A. Y. S. T. A. T. I. O. N.

Amazing how they made a whole song just out of the name 'Playstation' and game titles. That is just genius!

Can't beat 'My Intellivision' from the Intellivision Lives games as best song written about a game console. Sounds like an early 80's synth pop ballad with a few old-school sound effects and some clever lyrics to rhyme with intellivision.


My Intellivision
You were my love and my friend,
I thought the game would never end.
You tore out my heart without anesthesia,
Behavior that's hard to defend.

How could you put me in this position?
I really miss my Intellivision.
And now I'm bleeding from this incision,
I really want my Intellivision!

I miss your control and demands,
Nothing to do with my hands,
I won't leave my house - I'm in hibernation,
A loneliness I understand...

And so I sit here without ambition,
I really need my Intellivision.
I cannot stand it, this indecision,
Somebody find my Intellivision!

I want...I want my...I want my Intellivision!

And so I swear by my own volition,
I'm going to find my Intellivision.
I'm on a quest now, I'm on a mission,
I have to have my Intellivision!

Another game song... Proto Culture by Del the Funkee Homosapien:

Chorus: Let me tell you about the Proto Culture
If you don't know the culture, here's the whole structure
We've had enough of the lackluster-trust us
We get the kind of games you can't rent at Blockbuster
KU: Game related, raise it bit by bit
Yo D, link up the cable we'll go hit for hit
Phantasma plasma particle beam means I have ya
on the run-the rendered effects hot like magnas
Del: I play games by Capcom with a power glove strapped on
On any platform, I don't spend my dough on Phat Farm
Video games, I got many to play
Before my life expires; fufill my desires
KU: Mastering your hardest boss
Shattering all stars across
Ain't hard to cross the finish line
Floatin' on Daytona
Wex, Gex or Kloana, we get ‘em all at cost
RPG, Platform we transform like Macross
Del: Rival schools, Batsu
Purchase you ought to
It came with one free CD, it's like I bought two
I hope they make part II for Dreamcast
‘Cause games I've seen in mags, you won't believe they have!
KU: Getting callouses turning over asteroids
Graviton bombs destroyed
Getting moms annoyed
Now I'm hacking Nightmare Creatures
Their features splattered across the screen
It gets more clean each year
Del: I remember my homie Ed Coats had the most
A Colecovision-every week I'd visit
Playing Donkey Kong Jr., Venture, Rock and Rope
Games I thought was dope
While my moms was watching soaps
KU: I'm on the next level
I got a double barrel shotgun in the Doom world
Waiting on the next devil
Armor's low-check the arsenal
Rupture the main conductor playin Disruptor
Del: I remember Ninja Gaiden
Finished finally
With Ramone wouldn't answer the phone
This was before getting blown
I own the first Nintendo Power
With the maps of Zelda Help me conquer in an hour
Chorus: Let me tell you about the Proto Culture
If you don't know the culture, here's the whole structure
We've had enough of the lackluster-trust us
We get the kind of games you can't rent at Blockbuster
(2X)
Del: Hey KU you know my SEGA collection is massive
Got all the past hits and classics
Herzog Zwei now Panzer Zwei
Originality that made me a fan today
KU: It's Pandemonium-it's like Toys R Us
Flippin the next Saturn game brings out the boys in us
It's poisonous
Taking out the boys in blue in Grand Theft Auto,
Snatch a Rolls Royce to use
Del: Yeah, I'll admit Playstation improved
Come visit Feudal Japan with me and Tenchu
Bushido Blade 2 with sword play so accurate
Mega Man Legends but I had to buy a map for it.
KU: I fence Hyo to get a Neo-Geo
For Samurai 64 in full rendered splendor
Rival counter and enter my sword in his innards
My joint was being Leonardo wuppin' on Splinter
Del: I gotta get Xenogears-that's the type of game that relieves my fears
Get it from overseas to here
I gotta get Psychic Force
Authentic arcade that I can endorse
They got me liking imports
KU: I'll need to be at the next E3,
What's the next CD I need to see
Me and D signing checks
Let's float overseas, mingle with game companies
Giving tips to Capcom and Sega-you can't front on these
Del: To anyone who knew me better
Know I chose Saturn first Cause it's 2-D heaven
Bernie Stolar dropped the ball with the RAM cartridge
X-men Vs. Streetfighter could've expanded the market
KU: Marvel Vs. Capcom-beyond fathom
Tell the truth, Playstation ain't ready to have ‘em
Come on I'll bring the onslaught
Alpha and Omega
Khaos Unique brought to you by SEGA.
Chorus: Let me tell you about the Proto culture
If you don't know the culture, here's the whole structure
We've had enough of the lackluster-trust us
We get the kind of games you can't rent at Blockbuster
