yeah, it has these voiceovers of the chess moves like "Bishop Queen 5" and then the tone of the music changes. Its a pretty good song but the concept is hilariously nerdy.

What about Horse the Band? In the song Birdo they sing about throwing the egg back to the stupid pink dinosaur. That's geekiness.

GORGAR WILL EAT YOU

(GawRRRgaRRR)

Oh, shizzle, anyone else remember Gaia Epicus' interpretation of Star Wars? No? Well that is TOO BAD FOR YOU, because Radagast is going to share his pain.

Quote:
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away
The evil empire was building a force, destroying all in its way
Lord Vader, he's the man in black
Helmet of steel helps him to breathe, and with Jedi force he attack

The death star is near
But the rebels have no fear
The dark side of the force
They'll never join

Star Wars, the rebel fleet is on the way
Star Wars, they have come to save the day, Star wars

A new hope is here, and he's gonna save us all
He is so young but his force is so strong, Luke Skywalker is his name
Our freedom, he's gonna bring back
He has come to lead us into the light, it's time to stand up and fight

He flies among the stars
With the speed of light he goes
The dark side of the force
He'll never join

Yoda my master
Teach me how to fight
The evil Lord Vader
Is dying here to night

Star Wars
We fight for freedom
We fight for glory
We fight for all


Erk.

Bolt Thrower, and their Games Workshop-obsessed albums of boring death metal. The new one's not bad, though, from what I've heard of it.

I'd call that badass, not geekiness. But if you consider that geeky, what about the minibosses?

Yeah, sometimes I forget that the dork who wrote an album about Spawn is the same dork that writes about american history and rants about how kids don't know anything nowadays. Jon Schaffer is one hilarious old dork :lol:

Mentioned above, i really liked them, all the lyrics are about a reinterpretation of the megaman mythos, very good and geeky.

Rush - The body Electric.

One song based in binary code, and singing the chorus in binary (one-zero-zero-one-zero-zero-one) is very geeky.

That's a great song. And isn't YYZ written around an airport call-sign, or something? Much deeper than you'd think...
