9/30/05 80's Arcade Songs

RetroCrush.com has the top 10 arcade game sounds of the 80's.

Do you think pop singers make side bets amongst themselves? I imagine Gwen Stefani and Kid Rock have had this on going bet for the last ten years. They challenged each other to who can put the most ridulous lyrics in a song and still be number one on the billboard charts? Kid Rock shot out to a commanding lead with "Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy" repeated about 20 times in the appropriately named song "Bawitdaba". Gwen, who thought "Spiderwebs" would've been plenty, now realized that she was far behind Kid Rock. This depression is what actually caused her to break up with that guy from their band. But for the past 6 years Gwen hasn't conceded defeat. Late 2004, she had an inspiration. She thought to herself - "What if I teach kids how to spell in my song? What if I keep spelling the word bananas? Yes. Brilliant. That's it!" After many painful nights, trying to incorporate bananas into a song about, Lord knows what, she settled on the brilliant, "this sh*t is bananas. b-a-n-a-n-a-s". Kid Rock.... You're on deck.
