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 […]
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.

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 […]
Violin maestro performs Super Mario
How’s this for a sound system upgrade? Teppei Okada, a violin maestro, gives a real time sound enhancement to Super Mario. In other news; you know you can download Halo music for Guitar Hero 3? Done that. Made it to the end with at least half my fingers still straight.
Winking space hedgehog, I Am Not a Robot and Stella Artois

A dancing robot, maNga and Eurovision
Eurovision has just finished here in Europe. If you’re unaware of the event, then let’s just say it’s a cross between the World Cup and some music talent show. What’s this got to do with Geek Native? Well…. to my surprise, the entry from Turkey is from a band called Manga. The band is called […]
Impressive Fifth Element vocal talent
Remember the impressive opera scene from the Fifth Element? It was made all the better as it was inter-spliced with some good alien butt-kicking action. I gather some parts of the alien opera was achieved through distorting numerous opera singers in real life (men and women). Step in Laura; aka DisneyDiva7 who manages to do […]
Mysterious artist iamamiwhoami posts new, surreal, video
The YouTube user iamamiwhoami is shaping up to be a bit of a surprise hit. A mystery hit too as no one’s certain who iamamiwhoami is. The very name seems to invite us to guess! I know one thing for certain; it’s not me. iamamiwhoami came to the internet’s wider attention in December last year […]
