There was a time when the conservative right objected to rock music. A common claim was that if a certain track was played backwards it would contain satanic messages. Once or twice this was true. What happens if we apply this test to The Legend of Zelda’s Skyward Sword Theme? I’ll tell you what; you’ll […]
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.

Toyota deploys Hatsune Miku; mixed reactions
Toyota have called in the virtual popstar from Japan, anime’s very own real-life icon, Hatsune Miku, to help sell the Toyota Corolla.
Evolution of Dance: Stormtrooper style
The Evolution of Dance was one of the most popular videos on YouTube for a long time. Most of the native geeks reading this blog post will have watched it long ago. Right now, only 200 people have seen this version from JD Duncan. However, it’s Star Wars Day (May the Fourth), the video was […]
RPG music video: Roll a D6
I’m quite impressed by this. It’s a parody of Far East Movement’s Like a G6 and I wonder how much the music video helped inspire the concept. Right at the start of the G6 video (which I watched after D6) the camera walks around and a corner and – for a second – I swear […]
Pokemon: The Musical
There are a lot of truths in this Pokemon live action. Actually, it’s a musical live action Pokemon. There’s a line that goes something like, “Nice try dickface, we’ll never be friends because you stole my XP!” Do you remember Gary from the series? Not so much. I recall the rough outline of the opening […]
Game of Thrones’ rocking opening theme original and covers
I haven’t been able to watch any more of HBO’s Game of Thrones here in the UK since Geek Native’s Sky Atlantic preview review. If anyone knows a legal way to catch up in the UK, sans-Sky, do share with fellow geeks in the comments box below. I recall the opening credits well. It wasn’t […]
Sony Song: Still Alive versus PSN
You must know Still Alive from the end of Portal. Imagine if you’ve bought Portal 2, really want to play it on Sony’s PSN… ouch, some of you are in that situation. You can’t. Not while PSN is down. That’s the first reason why this song is clever. I think the other reason is clever […]
Fatality – is this a Mortal Kombat love song?
Want a way to check out some of the more gory fatality moves in the latest Mortal Kombat? Want to smirk at the juxtaposition of a violent computer game and a love song? Want to remember Big Trouble in Little China and the computer game franchise it started but rarely gets the credit for?
The song at the end of Portal 2
Mini-spoiler alert. I suppose if you’re super sensitive to spoilers then you’d consider this post one. We’re here today, class, to feature the song from the end of Portal 2. The spoiler? It’s from the end of the game. The end! Actually, heck, let’s feature a whole load of songs and make the song at […]
Thriller Autobots
Sometimes you don’t know what’s missing from your life until you see it and understand it hasn’t been there until now. It might be the case that until today you never knew that Transformers dancing to Wacko Jacko’s Thriller was an Autobot shaped hole in your soul. Well! Worry no more. Today that Autobot shaped […]
