@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

It's no "My Adidas" (RUN DMC), but this must bring a smile to Sony executives!

My apologies to folks who already know about this. :)

Anyway, today I hear this song while I was in the car: Walk Away by Paula DeAnda. As I heard the lyrics unfold, I nearly got into an accident!
Yeah, this is the live version. At the ~50 second mark you can hear some fantastic sony + pop song magic.

Watch the video first. Otherwise, here is the first verse (spoiler!):

QuoteI saw you with your new girl just yesterday
 and I feel that I must confess
 even though it kills me to have to say
 ill admit that I was impressed
 is it calling just showed up affection
 gotta commend you on your selection
 though I know I shouldnt be concerned
 in the back of my mind I cant help but question
does she rub your feet (when you've had a long day)
 scratch your scalp (when you take out your braids)
 does she know that you (like to play PS2 till 6 in the morning like I do)
I'm sure there have been many references to PlayStation in pop culture, and music in particular, but I find DeAnda's reference particularly amusing (I wouldn't expect the lyrical content / genre of her song "Walk Away" to typically contain video game culture).

And why am I listening to this radio channel? I don't know, but listening to hit songs from Justin Timberlake seem to help me wake up in the morning! I think this station plays four Timberlake singles every half-hour!

Homer Simpson: "I WON! Honey, the first thing we're doing tomorrow is buying a Playstation... ONE!"

Some other show (don't remember what it was called right now)

("Guy" had been at the MTV studios)
Guy: They even had a Playstation!
Guy 2: Whoa, a Playstation Two?
Guy: Playstation THREE!

(this was from 2001 or something, when PS3 obviously didn't exist)

Public Enemy had a song where one of the lines was "Good enough to know no endo, threw it out the window, along with the super nintendo".  I always laughed at that one.

Notorious B.I.G. rhymes "Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis. When I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture this." in the song Juicy. I always get a kick whenever I hear that.

The song is called Bedlam 13:13 for those who wonder.

From Ice Cube's Friday track: "Smokin' indo, playin' that Super Nintendo, hear a rat-tat-tat on my window."

In the famous House of Pain track "Jump Around", Everlast raps: "Oor better yet a terminator like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Try'n to play me out like as if my name was Sega."

Well, one of my favorite references to Nintendo / Sega is found in Carter USM's song "Mid Day Crisis" :

It was the automatic rifles
the Nintendos and the Segas
And the half a dozen dead disciples

Great band, great song... :)

This is found on the "Post Historic Monsters" album, and if you're curious, I recommend listening to the tracks "A Bachelor For Bayden Powell" and "Commercial Fucking Suicide Part 1".

Not only that, but IIRC, there is some old rap song that uses the entire "Inspector Gadget" theme song... I feel like the chorus goes "Nightmares.... of the night", but I'm sure I'm remembering it wrong. I tried googling but I got tons of irrelevant crap.

If you wanna hear a song about video games, check out "Protoculture" by Del The Funkee Homosapien.
