Naturally Psy's song would be on the list since I think most everyone finds it too weird not to love. Hm.. you know I really don't have any favorite songs I can think of at the moment that aren't around a decade or so old.

[Dumbledork]

That's not a problem. This topic is not restrictive just like the old one. Just post any music you like.

dubmood - toffelskater 2007 remix

Is that one from a videogame?

Well then, how about this one? I played this game a lot back in the 80s on the MSX: Knightmare. It's still one of the best videogame songs ever. First you have the original soundtrack, then an excellent remix and last a video of the gameplay.

Cool, looked like it was fun and with a catchy theme to boot

Is that one from a videogame?

nah dont think so at least, its a chiptune though so it gives off he same vibe, This guy also used to write music for game cracks and such.

Now this is from a video game

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EExvEF2zudA -- "Motor Man Keikyu VVVF" by Super Bell"Z. The main theme is the scale 'played' by the VVVF units in the Keikyu 2100 trains. A fun act to watch, too.

These are my only bookmarked ones right now. Really.

I don't like songs with words much. More of a soundtrack listener. That's why I often say I don't like music. It's easier to explain than I just like theme songs.

Chances are you might like this, then: "Trans Europa Express" by Kraftwerk. It's mostly melody, and this vid has some gorge TEE clips, including cockpit shots.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5eobV_zyrc Halo soundtrack. ALL OF IT!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDRTfkE9c9s -- 10cc sound a bit Knopfler-esque playing the Wall Street Shuffle.

[Té Rowan]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbBEg7cL9rs -- The wikipage for „Fröken Fräken“ said that the tune has been sung in many languages, including Icelandic. That much is true, and the proof lies behind that Youtube link.
