The Guardian have asked a interesting question. They are looking for the best songs about video games. Firstly I doubt that there are a lot of songs that are entirely about video games so I think its more of a question of when something about video games have been featured in a song. They have a list of ten of which I only know one.

Notorious BIG - Juicy
In this autobiographical rap the late Biggie Smalls disses all the
teachers who said he’d never amount to nuthin’, while celebrating the
trappings of his luxurious lifestyle. “Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis;
When I was dead broke, man I couldn’t picture this,” he proclaims.
Clearly he had modest ambitions compared to today’s rappers who
wouldn’t aspire to owning a games console unless it was made out of
solid gold and covered in polar bear fur.

If you can think of anymore let us know.

I think that there are a few classic retro video games that have had their music used in songs. I don’t know any but I’m sure there are.
