I'm currently making a list of music inspired by none other than the interwebz. I am looking for songs to add because, currently, the list is really small. Thus, I come to you, the greatest forumites ever, looking for adds.

My Requirements:

1) It can't be anything made popular by radio stations.
2) Parodies are fine, but I'd like to keep it to ONE Weird Al song.
3) It can be from a video game (already have Still Alive from Portal)
4) I would like it to have been something made popular by geek culture and the interwebz.

Currently on the list:
Common Ground (Andy McKee)
Guid Ho! (Dodger)
I Miss Buffy TVS (Megan Gogerty)
Level 30 (Ewan Dobson)
(I'm The One That's) Cool (The Guild, Felicia Day)
Overworld Day (Terraria, Scott Lloyd Shelly)
Signal in the Sky (Apples in Stereo)
Skyrim (Main Theme)
Perform This Way (Weird Al)
1000 Videos (Roomie)
Caramalldansen (Caramell, Speedy Mix)
Still Alive (GLaDOS & Jonathan Coulton)
Party Rock Anthem (LMFAO)

As you can tell it's an eclecic mix, but I'd like some help fleshing it out. Bare in mind I am limited to iTunes for song DLs.

"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

I can't say that Party Rock Anthem was something made popular by geek culture in the least.

The, er, band had already had at least a couple of hit singles prior to it.


Oh.. it just occurred to me that you might mean the derivation of "LMFAO".




Thank you, Champion.

Pretty much anything by I Fight Dragons - including new songs The Geeks Will Inherit The Earth and Save World - Get Girl.

Still feel slightly bad about what they did to original bandmember Lady Laura (possibly retaled in this song, but I think they've finally patched things up now.)

I'd never actually watched Roll a D6 before, but...

1) It's actually pretty funny
and
2) Connor (the Ranger with the glasses) is kinda hot and has quite a sexy voice.

Lot of great songs here.

How about Best Game Ever

And I'm surprised Nerdcore seems kind of unrepresented here.

If you're unfamilar try It's Pitch Dark and Spoiler Alert by MC Frontalot or Fette's Vette by MC Chris for starters.


"I play characters. I have to have a very strong visual appearance, backstory, name, etc. to get involved with a character, otherwise I simply won't play it very long. I'm not an RPer by any stretch of the imagination, but character concept is very important for me."- Back Alley Brawler
I couldn't agree more.

There's always that interminable Nyan Cat song...


99458: The Unbearable Being of Lightness
191775: How the Other Half Lives

Would the song from Robot Unicorn Attack count? I don't know if that song was around before the game (I'm guessing it was), but any current popularity it has is due to the game.

Yup...the songs been around since...I think late 80s or early 90s.

It's Always by Erasure, it was quite popular here in the UK at the time.
