My friend is in a local band and they have a ton of their own stuff, but they wanted to spice up their sets with songs from video games, preferably ones with lyrics. They aren't going for the lame overdone Mario/Metroid/Castlevania things, they want songs from other games that aren't necessarily in the mainstream.
The one I suggested was "Burly Heart", Potemkin's theme from Guilty Gear. I was fucking around with it on my Numark and with the pitch at +12% it gets pretty hectic and awesome. Try to imagine it, just sped up and at a slightly higher pitch. I think it'd make for awesome.
One he suggested was the "All Master Rap" from Parappa. The one where everyone really has to take a crap and you rap-off to get to the bathroom. The bassline, he said, is instantly recognizable and they'd just pass the mic to a different member of the band for each teacher, while the others continued to play on a different instrument.
The last one I suggested for him was "Room Of Angel" from the Silent Hill series. Again, it could definitely be sped-up and the vocals could be performed in a screamo fashion, considering the song has pretty morbid lyrics to it.
As you guys might know, I'm a fanboy for the three games mentioned above and my friend pretty much plays the same games I do, so we're kinda limited.
And don't say Halo, the lead singer of the band can't do it. :(
