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 […]

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.

Editor’s note: Documented for posterity. Unlikely to be performed again in future I’d imagine. My latest contribution to the Maraoke video game karaoke songlist – first performed virtually by Ste Curran* and myself on 30/10/2020 at Maraoke Lockdown! #11 (Halloween Special). This song has been on Maraoke ‘wanted’ list for a long time, but the […]

My latest contribution to the Marioke video game karaoke songlist – first performed 18/01/2019. This has now been performed twice (to my knowledge) and both times introduced as “the worst song on the system” – what can I say, we aim to please. I wrote this because the ridiculous backing track to the Pharaoh’s Code […]

My latest contribution to the Marioke video game karaoke songlist – first performed 14/12/2018. This is actually the second version of this song on the database. There’s nothing (as far as I know) wrong with the previous version, I just forgot that it had been done before. Both versions can be requested during Marioke Christmas […]

My latest contribution to the Marioke video game karaoke songlist – first performed 21/09/2018. The joke here relies on the knowledge that Capcom originally released Final Fight for the SNES with only two of the three playable characters from the coin-op. “Eliminate Guy” – after “Live And Let Die” by Wings When you’re Capcom, and […]

My latest contribution to the Maraoke video game karaoke songlist – first performed by Beck Michalak on 10/08/2018. The version live on the system has a couple of line edits to better fit the tricky timing of the verses. Altered Beast is a bad game. “Altered Beast” – after “Kiss From A Rose” by Seal […]

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, […]
