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.

Occupy Mushroom Kingdom: The Best We Can Be – A Princess Peach musical

You’ve already seen a dozen parodies of Party Rock Anthem, LMFAO and Everyday I’m Shuffling? That can’t be helped. It’s still worthwhile point out the heroic efforts of these humble Stomtroopers in bringing the classic hit back to life.
