Video Game Music

@SGR I have heard that! Not in the 90s though, I didn't find out about it until the early Youtube era. It is pretty catchy.

Speaking of 90s Sonic music, I present one of the most bizarre musical tie-ins of all time: the Right Said Fred Sonic 3 video.

The lyrics feel Sonic-related in only the most tangential of ways, like of all the things one could call Sonic, calling him a "man" would not be very high on my list, lol. It really feels like Right Said Fred didn't really understand the assignment, like they just wrote some of their usual gay-coded lyrics and crowbarred in a couple of vague references to speed and shoes at the last minute lol

That's hilarious! Don't know how I've never seen/heard of that tie-in before. The song isn't bad either! But yes, if it didn't feature Sonic references/clips in the video, I'd probably have no idea it was at all related to Sonic. 

Looks like the single's wiki page kinda explains why this is though:

The single differs significantly from the album version, having been re-worked for use by Sega Europe to promote the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Its lyrics and accompanying music video contain numerous explicit references to the video game, ending with a woman commenting, "He's just a flippin' hedgehog, okay?" Actor Steven O'Donnell, at that time the advertising face of Sega Europe, also features prominently in the music video.[2]

Ahh, yeah that definitely makes sense then.

Hell yes!! Crazy Taxi was literally how I got into The Offspring! Oddly enough, I was into Tony Hawk's Pro Skater before Crazy Taxi (THPS3 is the first time I can really remember hearing songs like "Ace of Spades" and "Blitzkrieg Bop").

I found this the other day, not sure if you or @Lexi Darling have seen it before, but figured I'd share. I guess it's a song/music video that was on an official Sonic/Sega CD release back in 1996:

'90s Sonic meets '90s Eurohouse. Surprisingly catchy, too! 

Never heard that Sonic tune but I'm high right now and vibing to it hard. Putting that bish on repeat.
