The Ghostbusters turned 30 this year. It’s Halloween. Eclectic Method saw a chance to hit two bats with one pumpkin and released this remix. Expect a thorough remake of the classic, Zuul, the coming of Gozer and the Stay Puft Marshmallow man.
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.
Best of the best: Game of Thrones western cover
There’s been loads of covers of the iconic Game of Thrones opening tune and you’ll find the best here on Geek Native. This particular one from BenDan Productions is my favourite. I call it best of the best. What did you think? Granted; if you hate Westerns and all that they stand for (Firefly) then […]
Is Pharrell Williams’ anime It Girl too young?
A big artist doing an anime music video? Geek Native will be interested. There’s a twist in this one though – the central character in this video seems especially young. Things to think about; is this just the style of the anime or is she younger than the others and just what is the relationship […]
50 years of Batman in music with 3 awesome cars
This video has been out for less than a week. It’s racing towards 2,000,000 YouTube views and there’s a reason why. Watch it to find out. The Piano Guys always pull the stops out to make impressive YouTube videos. I wonder how much they’ve paid to get access to these three Batmobiles. Which is your […]
Scoobythulhu, no really
It’s a Cthulhu mystery for a bunch of hippies and their dog to solve. Wait, what? Mikey Mason’s describes this mashup as “A bit of fun with an older song”. I think it’s a bit more effort than just a bit of fun. Filed under comedy but it might mess up a few memories.
Ocarina of Time: Kokiri Forest on violin
Taylor Davis’ wonderful work on the violin brings the Kokiri Forest theme to life. There’s some simple but hugely effect special effects that give this music video that a host of extra geek points. You can download the song from various sites, including iTunes, or buy physical albums too. Pop over to her YouTube channel […]
Game of Thrones done North by Northwest style
Saul Bass was an American designer who worked for Alfred Hitchcock. He invented a new type of kinetic typography and put it to work on title sequences for moves like North by Northwest, Vertigo and Psycho. Skip ahead to more recent times and you’ll see sequences inspired by his style in the likes of Catch […]
Happy memories with “I am the Doctor” on violins
Here’s one for Doctor Who fans. “I am the Doctor” is Murray Gold’s theme for Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor. If you’ve seen the TV series you’ll remember the music. I’m no fashion expert but that TARDIS Lara’s wearing looks like a Black Milk item so that and the katana blades on the bookcase behind her […]
Are you annoyed that “He Looks so Perfect”
This Warp Zone music video is a parody of 5 Seconds of Summer’s “She Looks So Perfect”. It took me a little while to get into this video but they start to range from computer character to computer character – complaining about the impossible physiques of male characters. I suppose it’s a twist on some […]
Beyond 8-bit; an evolution of video game music as a surprising acapella
Okay, I’ll admit. I’ve seen plenty of Mario and Sonic acapellas now. It’ll take a little bit more than that to earn a blog post these days. Step forward Triforce Films. This isn’t just an acapella (with a touch of cosplay). This is a tour through the evolution of computer game music and that means […]
