Joe Cocker was on something at Woodstock in 1969. These parody lyrics are hilarious.

I don't know why it took me 6 years to see that this could be the 2010's version of Bohemian Rhapsody. I'm really big on Awolnation right now.

"Mark Davis worked behind the Service Desk at the Naperville, IL Kmart in the late '80s and early '90s. Every month, corporate office issued a cassette to be played over the store speaker system — canned elevator-type music with advertisements seeded every few tracks. Around 1991, the muzak was replaced with mainstream hits, and the following year, new tapes began arriving weekly. The cassettes were supposed to be thrown away, but Davis dutifully slipped each tape into his apron pocket to save for posterity. He collected this strange discount department store ephemera until 1993, when background music began being piped in via satellite service.

Nearly 20 years on, Davis has digitized his whole collection, 56 cassettes in all, and just recently, made the recordings available at archive.org accompanied by some more background on this bizarre treasure trove. For a taste, listen below to the sweet, sweet sounds of October 1989."

That's beautiful. I definitely get a feel for Mario Paint Composer during that.

Kinda surprised nobody made an 8 bit cover of that, along with a few other 80s songs I can think of that could work well for the 8 bit/16 bit tunes. Speaking of tunes.

I've had this song stuck in my head ever since I beat inFAMOUS a few days ago.
