Bruno Mars is popular for parody and with Ultron Funk Screen Team reminds us why that song is worth the effort. The video, as per usual, was created by Angie Griffin and Chad Nikolaus and you can see more of their work over at Screen Team Show.
Geeky music videos
Welcome to the Music category, where we turn up the volume on the sounds of geek culture. This is your destination for epic gaming soundtracks, synthwave scores, chiptune artists, and bands whose lyrics are inspired by our favourite fandoms. We celebrate the music that provides the backdrop to our adventures, from the sweeping orchestrations of a fantasy epic to the pulsing beats of a cyberpunk future.
We have a special appreciation for the visual side of music, and this section is always on the lookout for clever, creative, and unapologetically geeky music videos. If a song tells a story or an artist has a unique vision, you'll likely find their videos featured here. Tune in and discover your next geek anthem.
The Game of Thrones “Dumb Ways to Die” edition
Here be spoilers. Have you seen the original “Dumb Ways to Die” video? So many folk have. This isn’t our first paraody either; there’s also a Portal version of the famous Aussie safety video. This Game of Thrones version of Dumb Ways to Die comes out in time for the return of the series on […]
Dark Lord Funk: “Uptown Funk” parody
Better than most Harry Potter themed parody songs. KFaceTV have proper costumes, solid effects and a strong piece of writing with this one. Top that off with some dance moves and singing. Sweet. Dark Lord sweet.
Sony backs high school guitar band
Does a Japanese all-girl high school band sound like the stuff of anime to you? K-On, perhaps? That’s 3 sets of drums and 5 guitars for the band. They’re called 五五七二三二〇, which I’m told is pronounced, “go go nana ni san ni rei”. I believe the band are actual high school girls. The song is […]
The Harp Twins take their talents to Star Wars
It’s been a while since we’ve covered the Harp Twins on Geek Native. The first track in this Star Wars collection works very well on harps, I think, and the costume change once you’re a minute in is quite something! My favourite in the collection is the familiar Star Wars melody in the third clip. […]
Steampunk goes native in Savant’s Kali 47
If some of the steampunks in this Savant – Kali 47 look familiar it is because they’re from the League of S.T.E.A.M. Less familiar is the story. This is supernatural meets Steampunk meets a good ol’ cowboy story. In this case; a story that’s available in 4K should want to burn bandwidth. Warning: Dubstep.
A Smallville Man blends Superman with the Foo Fighters
A Smallville man was written and illustrated by Mauricio Abril. It uses more than 150 illustrations to tell an original Superman story. It’s a perfect match to the Foo Fighter’s Walk.

On the Spot: Video game music
Tune in for Halo, Skyrim, Final Fantasy 7, BioShock and Chrono Cross. This video is done to support Player Piano’s Indiegogo campaign (backer link) and follows on from their “on the spot” jammin’ to Nintendo themes. It works like this: Tom plays clips of music to talented composer and pianist Sonya Belousova. Sonya then tries […]
Doom metal Game of Thrones?
Is this a thing? Venezuelan musician Santiago Rodriguez Almenara and band have transformed the iconic Game of Thrones’ opening tune into a slow, heavy, anthem. Okay, I know this isn’t doom metal but my mind can’t back cycle back to my small collection every other time I give this cover version a listen too. The […]
