2. Splash Woman by Random aka Mega Ran
I love how this song takes music from the Splash Woman stage in Mega Man 9 and makes a pretty good beat out of it. I'm not really a Mega Man fan, I could never beat a level of it when I was a kid, but I am a geek and this has got to be one of my favorite songs.
The story in the song is great. The premise of any Mega Man game is that you have several bosses with levels that match the theme of the boss. Splash Woman is a mermaid type robot and her level is a water motif. When you beat a boss in Mega Man you get to use their special power in the next level i.e, Splash Woman's laser trident water power thingee can be used against a fire guy or something. I love how the story of Mega Ran and Splash Woman's romance and fight ties into how the game works.
You can tell that Random really loves video games. So it must have been amazing when Capcom, the company that makes the Mega Man video games, offered him a liscensing deal and let him perform at their comic-con booth in 2007.
The song was recently featured in a segment of TNA wrestling but only because the Gentlemen's club the they were filming at was playing it in the background. I was unaware that strip clubs played nerdcore songs...
As a bonus, here's the original music from Mega Man 9 that the song samples.
Tommorrow is the last day of the countdown! The #1 song is from a Swedish indie pop artist residing in Australia that was featured on a soundtrack to a movie about roller derby...
