Bitmob Community Jukebox #3

Even though I've done a Meet the Mob, there is something important you should know about me.

For some reason, over the years, my mind has acted as a sort of a Roledex for great videogame ditties. 

Because of this, every Wednesday I will be posting fifteen well-known and not-so-well-known videogame songs.

There's a catch however. I will not be providing all of the songs; I'll provide only 10. The rest will be suggested - hopefully songs I've never heard - and out of all of the suggestions, I will choose five to round out the fifteen.

Ultimately, I would like enough suggestions to switch over to five or even one song donated by myself, thus truly making it the Community Jukebox.

It's important to note that all submissions will be credited to the community members who provided them.

The only guidelines are that any song chosen must be from a non-music game, or from a music game with original content. Licensed songs are also OK, but they must be from something other than a music game.

This means that Fallout and Grand Theft Auto songs are fair game, whereas Guitar Hero and Rock Band songs aren't. If licensed songs become too prolific, however, I may stop taking them as submissions.

Also, to note, I will try my hardest  to find the original names of every song, yours or mine, but if I can't, I will give it a name, and mark it with an asterisk. In addition, all songs are set to open in a new tab, so feel free to click away and have them play in the background as you surf Bitmob or get some work done.

Songs appear in no particular order whatsoever, save that community submissions will be segmented from my choices last.

Each week, I will also be choosing my favorite submission, The Double-Plus Good Pick of the Week. The winner will receive exactly nothing, except being last song with this beside their entry: ++good. I will also try to add an immediate comment about the awesomeness of their song as an added bonus. This will be an in-joke for those who keep up.

Most importantly, since I hope to keep doing this for awhile, only one submission response per person per post. That way I'll have less to parse, and you folks will be able to submit for an extended period of time. If you sumbit multiple requests, I will not listen to any of them.

Again, only one submission response per person per post.

Anyway, onto the show.

P.S. Sorry Lance, but your submission was from neither the Silent Hill movie nor any Silent Hill game.

Thanks everyone who submitted! Evan killed it again and now has 2 ++goods in a row!

Part Home Alone, part weird French gypsy music and all mischief, Bully's main theme totally slipped my mind.

This is an awesome track,and it totally took me back to playing Bully (which, by the way, is my favorite open-world Rockstar effort of last generation). Bully had more focus that the GTA games, and forgetting this song was a real forehead-slapper for me. Here's hoping for Bully 2.

Let's see if Evan can go for a hat trick next week!

I am listening to the Star Fox theme right now! Great selections! Now I can finally get "Donald, Where's Your Trousers?" out of my head!

And I know James, but I LOVE Skinny Puppy......

Donald, where ARE your trousers - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONO0bkpiXhM

Oh, and stupid question, but you are still taking suggestions, right James?
Lance Darnell , August 26, 2009
PLEASE. I just can't seem to get five suggestions.
James DeRosa , August 26, 2009
Cool, and I will make sure it is actually from a game this time.

Does music I listened to while playing a game count? jk
Lance Darnell , August 26, 2009
Okay, shit...feeling a lot of pressure here.

Umm...

Electric de Chocobo from Final Fantasy 7. It's a fun, happy song.

Chrono Trigger from Chrono Trigger. That song frequently gets stuck in my head and refuses to leave. If you hear someone yelling at the top of their lungs,

DA DAAAAAA DAAAAAAA DAAAAAAAA DA DA DA DA DADADA!!!

then that's usually me.

I'm already listening. Good tunes.

Jeez guys, you're gonna make this hard for me aren't you?
James DeRosa , August 27, 2009
I was thinking about picking one of my favorite Xenogears, Tactics, or Chrono Cross songs, but I'll go with "To Far Away Times" from Chrono Trigger this week.

JRPGS for the win!

We really need some racing fanatics up in here.

Doesn't Madden use licensed music?

I don't know... I suck at sports.
James DeRosa , August 27, 2009
Yeah, Madden uses licensed stuff. Once in awhile, they include some underground or up-and-coming artists, but I'm usually not impressed by EA Trax.
