Geek Blog – Kiss a Nerd
Lyrics after the jump.
Did I mention I love parodies? Weird Al, eat your heart out!

Geek Blog – $tar Trek’s Tik-Tok
Ke$ha’s “Tik-Tok” mashed with the old and the new Star Trek:

Geek Blog – Mario Musical Mastery
Super Mario Bros. always brings a smile to my face. The following videos display some of the vast talent out on the interwebs. First a beat-boxer, followed by a violinist who times his play with someone who is playing.
Enjoy and Happy Fathers’ Day to the GeekDad’s out there!

Geek Blog – Dr. Who _As Intended_
Geek Blog – Still Alive
The ending credits start to roll. You now know the cake is absolutely, a lie. You’ve escaped the Aperture Science labs and outsmarted the sarcastic AI GLaDOS. Then you’re treated to an upbeat song penned by John Coulton: “Still Alive”; you have beaten Valve’s “Portal”, a unique, physics-based game where you can create doorways in walls, ceilings and floors, much like the ACME holes of Saturday Morning Cartoon legend.
Now, for some reason, I can’t stop listening to this song. When it comes up on my playlist, I turn it up. Apparently I’m not alone. Check out the following interpretations/covers of this song, the original and a special bonus after the jump. But first, enjoy this children’s choir rendition, complete with light show!

Geek Blog – Moby’s Wait For Me
I love listening to Moby. I haven’t seen any of his videos before.
This is a depressing video from YouTube user ministryofsoundde.
The animation and timing, however, are quite impressive, as is the music itself. Just a little sad, that’s all. I know I’ve had days where I’ve felt like this.
I hope you can find another video on this site to cheer you up.

Geek Blog – Ewok Theme (Yub Nub!)
Return of the Jedi isn’t my favorite Star Wars film. In fact, it’s my least favorite of the prequels; however, I’m still astonished at how Lucas hacked it up for the DVD release, especially at the end of the film.
I fail to see why the people of Tatooine would celebrate at the fall of the empire; they were so far out on the rim that they weren’t affected by the Emperor; they were ruled by the Hutts.
I abhor how Sebastian Shaw was replaced with Hayden Christensen as the ghostly force-figure of Anakin Skywalker.
And I was quite disappointed that the celebration music was changed from the original Yub Nub! Below is a trippy karaoke video of that beloved (albeit mind-numbingly, “cant-get-you-outta-my-head”) tune, silly Ewoks and all.

Geek Blog – Video Game Musicians
I’m a huge fan of video game music. OCRemix is my ultimate source for digital music, remixed or otherwise. I seldom get an opportunity to enjoy such creations from an analog source; however, I’d be first in line if Play! – a Video Game Symphony came to my area. After the jump, enjoy a couple of great scores performed by real people, using real instruments. As I understand it, FFIV – A Theme of Love is standard curriculum in Japanese music classes.
