I am at a loss for words. I couldn't have imagined that video game music could be this bad...or this hilarious.

The community really stepped it up for this special edition of the Jukebox. The legacy of absolutely bad, absolutely awesome video game music that haunts gaming history totally surprised me. We all know bad game music exists; I just didn't expect this many funny, awful stinkers.

If you truly hate your ears -- and good taste -- please, listen to this masochistic deluge of aural defecation.

Be sure to make special note of Brian Shirk's classically repetitive, early-NES bloop-farts; Alex Cronk-Young's trashy laundromat masterpiece; and Brian Petro-Roy's schmaltzy, faux-Celine Dion epic (which totally ruins one of my favorite games).

For any newcomers, this is a special edition. Normally, I chose only the finest pâté of digital ditties. Please, hit the jump to find out more.

I've got two ways to displease you ears:

Method 1: Pick and Choose

1) Sonic R -- Super Sonic Racing

4) Dragon Warrior -- Battle Theme inflicted by Brian Shirk

5) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night -- I Am the Wind inflicted by Brian Petro-Roy

9) Cruis'n Exotica -- Menu 1* inflicted by Alex R. Cronk-Young

10) Donkey Kong 64 -- DK Rap inflicted by Jazz English

11) Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure -- Banson's Aria inflicted by Ryan Conway

12) Limbo of the Lost -- King of Limbo inflicted by Jasmine Maleficent Rea on all that is good and hopeful in the world (++bad)

Method 2: Let It Ride

(Click here to listen in a separate window.)

For all you newcomers, here's how it works. There are few simple rules/guidelines for submitting songs:

1) Every week I will post 15 well-known -- and not-so-well-known -- songs.

2) For each post, I will choose as many as 14 community suggestions to put toward the 15. I will make up any shortfall.

3) Songs from music games with original music and licensed songs from game soundtracks like Grand Theft Auto are OK. Submissions from games like Guitar Hero or Rock Band will not be accepted. Otherwise, this post may turn into a competition between people's favorite bands.

4) Each week, I will select one song as the Double-Plus Good Pick of the Week. The winner will receive exactly nothing save that their song will be featured last and will have a "++good" marker next to it.

5) Only one submission response per person, per week.

Finally, if you'd like to win the Double-Plus Good Song of the Week, try to think of an obscure song or a song you think I have overlooked in previous posts.

P.S. Thanks to everyone who submitted for making this special edition a success.
