for the other song, here's one about that chud from The King of Kong who tried to sue JG Quintel over a parody of his "I spent my life playing Pac-Man and I am important" attitude
also, dude legit "cheated" (well, use MAME instead of original hardware equipment, but I highly doubt he knows how to even use save states) on Donkey Kong and Pac-Man, which got his world records stripped and his ass banned from Twin Galaxies. and they'll let anybody in at Twin Galaxies - Mr. Activision put in a bunch of impossible scores and nobody batted an eye because one of the refs was like "eh, he's nice, he got the world record on the Atari drag racing game."
anyhoo, here's a sauce about the hot song gaming gamer
lyrics
“Whatcha wanna do with your life?”
My folks say as I gaze Tommy Walker in the Galaga machine
I’d pop my quarters in and play until they screamed
For me to go in the kitchen and clean those forks and knives
I like the taste of hot sauce and video games
But nothin’ like the doctor punk and those Oakhurst hippie geeks
In my Stars and Stripes tie and my black Wrangler jeans
And my luscious long locks and all to take the blame
Oooh, I’m a Hollywood star
Oooh, drivin’ in my IROC sports car
I’m getting’ it on, the night is long, and I’m the King of Kong
Ain’t nobody gonna knock this bad boy off…
“Why’d you wanna sue me?”
Says the Millennial freak with the TV show meant for kids
You don’t use my imagery
You pay me up or else something’s gotta give
I’m lookin’ at all the hot new games for your computer
I coulda thought of this fuckin’ shit much sooner
Raw joystick talent is always gonna doom Her
The Jezebel makes the heart go yonder
Oooh, I’m a Hollywood star (I was born under a wanderin’ star)
Oooh, drivin’ in my IROC sports car
I’m getting’ it on, the night is long, and I’m the King of Kong
Ain’t nobody gonna knock this bad boy off…
Nothing’s gonna bring me down
Nothing’s gonna take me to town
THOSE RECORDS ARE, IN ONE WORD, LEGITIMATE!
ALL THOSE CLAIMING EMULATION ARE – THEY’RE
ARE – THEY’RE FULLA SHIT!
GO!
Oooh, I’m a Hollywood star (I was born under a wanderin’ star)
Oooh, drivin’ in my IROC sports car
I’m gettin’ it on, the night is long, and I’m the King of Kong
Ain’t nobody gonna knock this bad boy off…
