Title: SEGA in Pop Music
Post by: SaturnineNights on October 09, 2012, 06:10:54 pm

We all love the music in SEGA games, but I don't see much mentioned of SEGA references in non-tribute music around here. So here's a few tracks that come to mind.

Charles Hamilton - Ringtone Rap (Charles has an entire mixtape, "Sonic the Hamilton," with beats based on Sonic sound effects and music.

What other songs can you guys think of that pay tribute to SEGA?

The Goats, one of the greatest Philly hip-hop bands ever... from "Wake 'n Bake," at about 2:55 "off to Sway's pad so we can play some Sega." 1994

House of Pain, "Jump Around"... at about 2:44, "tried to play me out like as if my name was Sega." 1992

I'm sure there's at least one Ice Cube reference to Sega, but I can't think of it right now.  Of course he was in some of their Saturn print ads too...

I remembered that Ice Cube lyric I was thinking of last night.  It's actually in this Terminator X song, featuring Chuck D, Ice-T, MC Lyte and Ice Cube... "Sticka" (1994).  At about 2:58, "buckin n*****s down on Sega, now I got my 9 like Arnold Schwarzenegger."

Right Said Fred - "Wonderman"

Tons of Sonic in this song and video.

Also, no mentions in the lyrics, but JSRF features prominently in the Hella Good music video:
