We didn’t scratch the disc
It was always scratched, you can ask the cat
I hate that I enjoyed singing that

I think for fitting the syllable count, “we didn’t scratch the CD,” fits better. I know being a disc doesn’t make it a CD, but nobody cared at the time anyway lol

We can go with the Sony official term Game Disk to avoid a “but PS2 is DVDs (except when it isn’t)”.

I’m amazed other people can actually do that. I’ve heard that song hundred of times, but I can neither recall the tune nor the lyrics. I don’t think there is any song I could hum more than 10s of.

The title of the post is misleading in that it refers to the chorus/title of the song.
These game titles are supposed to match the verse of the song, so they won’t match with “we didn’t start the fire” but rather the obscure lyrics in the verse, which is just a ramble of words fitting a simple rhythm:
“Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, television North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe”

Ramble?
Ramble!
The words are all events the happened during Billy Joel’s life up untill 1989, all aranged i mainly chronological order.
This song is a god damned master peice and you will not disrespect it.
De_Narm@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’ve got that far, after all, I know the song. I’m just so bad at anything rhythmic, I cannot read any lyrics as anything else but plain text. In my head, even my favorite songs lyrics are read like an essay about the cultural importance of potatoes in China.
JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I memorized the lyrics just so I could tell people I did it.
As for the tune, the melody is like three notes repeating and the chorus so not too bad.

I should be able to do this but it isn’t working. Another commenter fixed.mr moskeeto but I found other problems after that.
AEsheron@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I got hung up on the second half, you have to hang on the “the” for Simpsons H&R a little bit to make it fit.
Splatterphace@lemm.ee 8 months ago
It was easier to remember when everything mentioned in the song was a somewhat current event

That was a hard upvote, man. You 100% just stole 20 seconds of my time. On the other hand, I wasn’t doomscrolling.

This is the best.

That futurama game is worth $300 now if it is in playable condition

I’m so sad about that, I used have it and loved it.

I enjoyed the fall out boy remake of that song too. My wife hates it with a passion.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’ve always hated that song but you’re right it works well with that stack of games names
RedSeries@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I think it’s better than the Fall Out Boy version lol

Ah Simpsons hit and run. What a love letter to the show that was.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Fuck you. This song is going to be stuck in my head the rest of the day.

Just like the Wii shopping channel song!

I enjoyed it entirely without shame.

It’s no “Space Jam DVD”, but still pretty great

Needs one more syllable before The Simpsons Hit and Run. Like if the game “Black” was right before it.
cobysev@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I just sang it with a syllable pause after “Simpsons.” Either that, or just slip in the word, “and” at the beginning.
orphiebaby@lemm.ee 8 months ago
It’s not perfect, but neither were the syllables in “We Didn’t Start the Fire”
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
“Bloodrayne” needs another syllable too.
Dum dum, dum dum, dum dumdum dum dum dum… dada dum dum dada dum dum da dum dum dum dum.

I don’t. Singing that was so much fun!

I heard that Futurama game was the best episode of the show.

Suse made a great parody of that “We didn’t start the kernel”

I am mildly amused that I enjoyed singing that.

And it was a fun trip down a particular gaming memory lane.
