"Arcade Gaming Shrine" - a geeky parody of Bowling for Soup's "1985" by Palette-Swap Ninja (paletteswapninja.com)


V1
Jimmy just left the mall
They had no games at all
He stopped by to play
Daytona USA
The arcade closed its doors
Back in 2004
In just a few years
The coin-ops disappeared

He was gonna own an arcade
He was gonna rent a space
He was gonna get some neon
To illuminate the place

But now it seems to be / Xbox and PS3
He liked the simpler time
Of joysticks / tokens / offline with

R1
Ms. Pac-Man, Defender
The smiley face in Venture
with Sub-Zero and Chun-Li
And playing golf with Golden Tee
Moon Cresta, Reactor
And serving beer in Tapper
He wishes he could find
an arcade, arcade, arcade gaming shrine


V2
He wants all the classics
From the early days
He found a Discs of Tron
Down at the pizza place
He bought a couple more
From the old convenience store
Took them off their hands
And then he hatched a plan
All these modern games / while they're still fun
Future generations should know where they came from
A place where they can see Smash TV
A place where they can play Zaxxon, Front Line
(plus thereís Burgertime and)

R2
Pac-Man, and Crossbow
and Sega's Congo Bongo
There was Goro and Cammy
And blasting bugs in Centipede
From Q-Bert to Mappy
ìBlue wizard needs food badlyî
It gives him peace of mind
The arcade, arcade, arcade gaming shrine

BRIDGE
They're all set / to free play
Now he's got a room on par with Flynn's Arcade (that's from Tron)
But now that he's become / a collector
He'll never stop, stop, stop!

(He brought back)

R3
Tempest, Black Widow,
A four-slot Neo-Geo
There's a Vanguard, and Dig Dug
And Joust and Klax and Ladybug
His latest transaction:
An Elevator Action
Where will he draw the line
The arcade gaming shrine

R4
Ms. Pac-Man, Defender
The smiley face in Venture
with Sub-Zero and Chun-Li
And playing golf with Golden Tee
Moon Cresta, Reactor
And serving beer in Tapper
It's open all the time
The arcade, arcade, arcade gaming shrine

I would have put a reference to Galaga in it, but that's just me. Good song either way.
