Songs that remind you of a video game

[Zilfana]

Anybody out there have a song that when you hear it, you always think of a particular video game. Not a song they you might have played while playing that game, cause I have songs that remind me of books that I was reading while listening to those songs. I'm talking about the similar feel or subject matter of the song just always draws your thought to that game.

For me its System of a Downs "Toxicity," whenever I hear it I always think of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and how bleak and dismal trying to survive was.

That Hairspray showtune "Good Morning Baltimore (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGNUlLf62CY)" reminds me of "Mind of a Thief (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w36PdRaRSi4)." at least at the start.

Reminds me of Mario.

I totally thought of mario when I listened to that. I mean listen to the words...

What else could it possibly be referring to?

[Kris Strife]

The opening of Boston's "Foreplay/Longtime" reminds me of Final Fantasy VII.

Any song from Stormwarrior's record Northern Rage remind me of Diablo II. Did my longest marathon PC gaming session with that combination (somewhere slightly under 24 hrs if I remember correctly.)

Speaking of weird combinations... "Dancing Queen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFrGuyw1V8s&feature=fvst)" by Abba reminds me of the first Grandia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0s3DQMbciY)game, for some inexplicable reason. It's not the lyrics, but for some reason my brain thinks that Dancing Queen sounds similar to the Grandia theme. :smallconfused:

[WhiteHarness]

Paula Abdul's "Straight Up" features some synthesized trumpets(?) whose sound reminds me a bit of some of the music from the original Mega Man X.

[The Glyphstone]

Can the Imperial March remind me of Star Wars: Force Unleashed? or is that cheating?:smallbiggrin:

[Decoy Lockbox]

This song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qCQLyb0-mI#t=0m11s) always reminded me of some sort of old NES medieval themed beat-em-up game.

[Eldrys]

Queens Don't Try Suicide always makes me think of mario

[Lord Loss]

Reminds me of Resistance... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZm4zseMok0)

Queens Don't Try Suicide always makes me think of mario

Hahahahaha, now THAT is a rather funny song. However, speaking of Queen, one of their big hits Seven Seas of Rhye reminds me of Dungeons and Dragons...actually, most of the second half of Queen II reminds me of DnD. It's just so...damn epic!
