My most recent contribution to the Maraoke video game karaoke songlist – first performed by Jenn Estaris & backing singers 10/04/2026. A stab at topicality (or as close as we can get with a monthly show), written during the immediate backlash to Nvidia’s reveal of their laughable DLSS 5 genAI ‘slop filter’ technology. “Slop! In […]

My most recent contribution to the Maraoke video game karaoke songlist – first performed 12/09/2025. I felt that the songlist was lacking in positive Cyberpunk 2077-themed rewrites. I originally started rewriting Robert Palmer’s ‘Bad Case of Loving You’ (“Viktor Vektor, gimme the news” etc.), but in addition to being a song where everyone remembers precisely […]

My most recent contribution to the Maraoke video game karaoke songlist – first performed (by Ste Curran, James Scott and myself) 02/05/2025. It was supposed to be about boasting about being good at multiplayer FPS games (focusing on the Q3A era) with the posse cut format being used to represent different players joining a server, […]

My most recent contribution to the Maraoke video game karaoke songlist – first performed 13/12/2024. The previous version of this song from 2017 was removed from the system for a while on the basis that the joke was too obscure (referencing as it does a TV show from almost 30 years ago). This revised version […]

My most recent contribution to the Maraoke video game karaoke songlist – first performed 08/11/2024. It’s pronounced gibs as in “giblets”. The full length version may (eventually) follow. “American McGee” – after “American Pie” (Radio Edit) by Don MacLean A long, long time ago I can still remember, how I’d boot that DOOM.EXE file And […]

One of two songs most recently contributed by me to the Maraoke video game karaoke songlist – first performed 04/10/2024. It’s about interactive fiction (text adventure) games. I think I originally wrote this circa 2020 but it took a long time to get added to the system due to its complexity/obscurity. We’re going to parse, […]

My most recent contribution to the Maraoke video game karaoke songlist – first performed 13/10/2023 by James Scott. Also co-written with James – well, he came up with the joke, I eventually wrote the verses to go with it. “Dwarf Fortress” – after “You’re Gorgeous” by Babybird Remember that laptop you bought me Installed Dwarf […]

My most recent contribution to the Maraoke video game karaoke songlist – first performed 20/05/2023 by Grey. The first Maraoke song about Marvel Snap. Also one of the hardest songs to perform on the system – good luck if you pick it. (It’s tracked to the 2023 ‘Rock’ remix of the song to make it […]

My most recent contribution to the Maraoke video game karaoke songlist – first performed 18/03/2023 by myself and Lupine. (Thanks to Lupine for transcribing and adding images to the version on the Maraoke system.) This is a song about the infamous 1980s home micro game The Great Giana Sisters. Please note that some dramatic license […]

It’s about the Sega Saturn. “No-One Bought A Saturn” – after “Nothing Ever Happens” by Del Amitri GameStation staff put up signs saying previously owned And stack the shelves with Fighting Vipers […]

The first of two new songs contributed this month to the Maraoke video game karaoke songlist – first performed 19/11/2022. A song about the puritanical “wholesome games” cult (now thankfully mostly abandoned) that sprang up a couple of years ago. Finding a satisfying replacement for the “jumping frog” line remains a challenge (“lump in frogs”? […]

My latest contribution to the Maraoke video game karaoke songlist – first performed 17/09/2022. Self-explanatory really – a song about the merits of jetpacks in games, starting with (probably?) the earliest game to feature them. “Jetpac” – after “Get Back” by The Beatles Stampers made a game that won the Golden Joystick Back in 1983 […]

My latest contribution to the Maraoke video game karaoke songlist – first performed 11/03/2022. The first of a new batch of songs that I’ll post here as they’re added to the system and performed. This is a song about the efforts to speed up the death of Adobe Flash in the early 2010s, a significant […]
