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 […]
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.
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 […]
Super Mario Bros capella cover for Japan relief effort
I’m impressed with Jimmy Wong. I’ve only just found his YouTube channel but he’s a talented chap and a rising star. It’s not just his music that stands out. It’s his intelligence and his thoughtfulness. Case in point; he’s put all his music on iTunes. Buy it and he’ll donate all the profits to charities […]
This Fantasy World – D&D love song
This Fantasy World is a cute little tune by a musical duo known as The Doubleclicks – no relation to Google’s giant tracking and ad devliery system – with a custom animation from Brad Jonas. This song comes out of the song-a-week project the Doubleclicks are holding so I can’t imagine weeks and weeks of […]
Boba Fett playing Zelda music on the accordion
You’ll watch this video and recognise Boba Fett. That’s easy. That’s a given. What about the music though? It’s the “Lost Woods song” from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Yeah. He’s also playing it on an accordion. I think that’s the only logical musical instrument for Fett. Now that you’ve had your third […]
Predator: The Musical – free for a limited time
Here’s a shocker. It’s not socking that talented YouTuber Legolambs has been able to publish a very clever “Schwarzenegger Musical” – check out the Rambo musical or the Conan musical for evidence – nor is it shocking that you can download the new Predator’s musical from iTunes. What shocks me is that the musical, according […]
Get the Dead Island trailer music
Many people noticed the Dead Island trailer. It’s been one of the viral success stories for computer games – along with, perhaps, DC Universe’s Fractured Future. In particular, many people were caught by the soundtrack. The calm and sad music is a horrible juxtaposition to the bloody carnage played out in reverse in the video. […]
Murmurs of Middle Earth music
Geek Native has featured some of Pogo’s music before. There’s the Skynet Symphonic and less geeky but just as cool Upular based on Up. This Lord of the Rings musical treatment is one of my favourite so far. Check it out. How would you rate it? Better or worse than Upular? Or do you feel […]
Black Materia: Final Fantasy VII rap
I’m not sure rap is my thing (despite having some Run DMC on my iPod) but Final Fantasy VII certainly is. Was Final Fantasy VII the best in the franchise? Random (also known as Mega Ran) and Lost Perception like both rap and Final Fantasy VII. They like both so much they’ve produced an entire […]
Tonight I’m frakking you
This is one frakking geek line up. I wonder if it was this appearance of Alessandra Torresani as slave Leia that inspired the video. What we have here is Kunal Nayyar, Matthew Brian Brown, Alessandra Torressani, Amy Okuda, Richard Hatch and, er, Chad Vader! Want the lyrics to “Tonight I’m frakking you”? No problem. Got […]
