What do you get when Villainy INC becomes too lazy to come up with things to talk about? Another installment of Video Games Pre-Recorded that’s what! I’m not too hot on this episode because I noticed while editing it that we didn’t really play a lot of video game music. Kinda defeats the purpose. Oh well. Tune in anyway to hear music from games like Punch Out, Metal Gear Solid, Kingdom Hearts, and Mega Man!

And huge apologies to Ollie. I had the mp3 for “I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire” but for some reason it didn’t make it into the episode playlist. No idea how that happened. Once again I suspect elves. We’ll play it on the show some other time.

We didn’t really mention any videos in the episode so I’ll leave you all with this. Rock on.

After beating Earthbound for the first time (awesome game by the way), I was curious what song tracks where in copyright violation. I caught an homage here and there (I was quite proud of myself for catching the Monty Python sample) but I never thought anything sounded too close to other songs. That is until I saw this video.

This clip is a bit too long (it really could have been only 5 minutes) but it’s pretty interesting if you want to hear where all the music came from.

Yeah some of those are pretty damn close to real songs…

I’m exhausted making the show (we’ve gone about 3 months without missing a week) so next episode is going to be another installment of Video Games Pre-Recorded. For those of you who don’t know, these are the episodes where WK and I DJ an episode featuring our favorite video game music.

This time around I thought I’d ask our listeners if there’s any of their favorites they’d like to hear. Tell us your favorites in the comments section and we’ll try and play them on the show.

We’re also going to be taking Thanksgiving off. Believe it or not we’re not robots. Or are we…DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUN
