My latest contribution to the Marioke video game karaoke songlist – first performed 08/06/2018. We didn’t have enough (or possibly any?) songs specifically about Shinji Mikami’s masterpiece, so this was an attempt to correct that oversight. “Villagers with Parasites” – after “Another Day In Paradise” by Phil Collins They call out to Leon Kennedy Señor, […]

My latest contribution to the Marioke video game karaoke canon – first performed by James Scott and myself 13/10/2017. This is something of a tribute song to Digital Foundry. DF get a lot of stick from some people who see them as joyless and pedantic, but it’s hard to deny that we’ve benefited from games […]

My latest contribution to the Marioke video game karaoke canon – first performed 15/09/2017. My self-imposed writing brief this month was to find songs by artists that have so far been absent from the Marioke songlist, and to favour the stupidest jokes possible. “Where The Streets Are Of Rage” – after “Where The Streets Have […]

My latest contribution to the Marioke video game karaoke canon – first performed 26/05/2017. A song that went to #1 in the US and sold over 1,000,000 copies, but which peaked at #23 in the UK singles chart. Something to bear in mind for future song choices… “50 Ways to Blow Your Cover” – after […]

My latest contribution to the Marioke video game karaoke canon – first performed 20/01/2017 (Eighties Night).

My latest contribution to the Marioke video game karaoke canon – first performed 19/11/2016. I only knew this song from Kevin Eldon’s version, so I was worried beforehand that it would be a bit obscure. You can probably work out which line was written first. “Neo Geo” – after “Virginia Plain” by Roxy Music Make […]

My latest contribution to the Marioke video game karaoke canon – first performed 19/02/2016. (Actually this one’s been ‘in the system’ for a few months but I don’t think anyone had performed it before now.) Inspired by the the absurdly long and varied IMDB voice acting resume of Nolan North (“the thinking man’s Troy Baker”). […]

My latest contribution to the Marioke video game karaoke canon – first performed 20/11/2015. I should point out that this is what we call a ‘joke’ – I have no strongly held opinions about Quantic Dream or David Cage (at the time of writing in 2015 – Ed.). I’ve never played Heavy Rain. “David Cage” […]

My latest contribution to the Marioke video game karaoke canon – first performed 18/09/2015. “Blanka’s Got The Moveset” – after “Thank You For The Music” by ABBA I’m nothing special, each time I played Street Fighter IV If I threw a punch, you’d probably blocked it before ’til I found a fighter, who comes from […]
