The Guild’s first music video was a total success. I was one of those geeks who rushed to buy a copy from iTunes and then watched as it rose in the charts and eventually beat all that mainstream pop crap into submission. I’d say The Guild’s new music video is even further removed from mainstream […]
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.
Clever musical easter egg in Inception
The clever bit is the use of Edith Piaf‘s famous “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien“. It’s best if I don’t explain it – it’s better with the reveal. Watch the video below and marvel. The close call is that the song was nearly dropped from Inception entirely because Marion Cotillard was cast as Mal Cobb; […]
Tron Girl
Got to say it; Tron Girl might be my favourite Barely Political music video. Just to set the record straight; Tron Girl is slyly timed – we’re all set and ready for the next Tron movie. Comic Con is apon us. Just the whisper of Tron will get us interest. Check out the Tron Girl […]
Pug enhanced Batman Theme Song
The Batman theme tune was put together by Neal Hefti in 1966. Who can forget the famous “Na na na na Na na na na BATMAN!”? I bet you’ve sung the song at least once. Go one, admit it… Don’t worry, you’re not alone, I have and many Geek Native readers have too. The good […]
Rambo: The Musical – “You Not Expendable”
Since the Conan the Barbarian musical was so popular I thought I’d share another one. We actually have Jon and Al Kaplan – the pair behind Conan the Barbarian: The Musical – to thank for the Rambo: The Musical – You Not Expendable too. As for the singing? Well. There’s Julia Nickson and Sylvester Stallone. […]
The iPhone Antenna Song by The Rock Cookie Bottom (@songadaymann)
Tucked a way in today’s iPhone 4 press conference – sorry, the Apple press conference which may turn out to be about the iPhone 4 – I came across this chirpy little ditty “The iPhone Antenna Song”. What caught my attention straight away was that the song was sub-titled “Song a Day” and the Twitter […]
Shadowland music video trailer

In Shadowland #1 the Avengers, Moon Knight, Thunderbolts and others team up to try and contain this new foe. The soul of New York is at risk. There will be a number of tie-in […]
I Kissed a Nerd music video
The Damsels of Dorkington will have an internet hit on their hands with this spoof of Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl”. Faron Morales does a great job as the lead nerd! Watch the video once and enjoy it. If you watch it again try and keep track of all the geek culture in it; […]
Conan the Barbarian: The Musical – “hear the lamentation of their women”
There’s a new Conan film the in works. It’s going to star Jason Momoa (photo) as Conan. Yup. Him from that Stargate. Of course, before the remake we had the original Arnold Schwarzenegger to, er, watch? Feast our eyes on? Struggle through. Can you struggle through this? Conan the Barbarian: The Musical? Can you hear […]
Doctor Who on stage at Glastonbury
Last night I saw a couple of tweets suggesting that they had Doctor Who on stage at Glastonbury. I wondered who it was: David Tennant or Matt Smith. Turns out it was Matt Smith – however, he’s the actor. They also had Doctor Who on-stage because, amazingly, they played an electro version of the famous […]
