“Rainbow Connection”

One of two songs most recently contributed by me to the Maraoke video game karaoke songlist – first performed 04/10/2024.

“Game Gear Collection”
– after “Rainbow Connection” as popularised by Kermit the Frog (Jim Henson)

Why are there so many
ROMs for the Game Boy
When most are in black and white?
Game Boy’s a prison
With low resolution
And 8 hours of battery life
So Sega told us, we used to believe it
So it’s not the handheld for me
Someday we’ll find it
My Game Gear Collection
There’s Columns, I’ll stream it, you’ll see

[BREAK]

Who said that Tet-er-is
Would keep nerds entranced there
When Game Gears can play Gunstar
Somebody ported that
It’s hard to believe it
I’ll let you loan my cart
Who’ll scour eBay for
The Lucky Dime Caper?
There’s one bid from Frank Cifaldi
Someday you’ll try it
My Game Gear Collection
It’s “poggers”, I’m sure you’ll tell me

Only one console can sell
We loathe this improbable gadget

I wish the public then
Had made different choices
I’ll go on keeping the flame
Ryo Hazuki goes looking for sailors
(But that’s in a much later game)
Now that I have me an Analogue Pocket
A screen you can finally see
Time to revisit
My Game Gear Collection
Both Frogger and Alien 3

La da da dee da da doo
La da da dee dee da Se Ga
