Welcome back for another week of community-submitted video game tunes!
For those of you who aren't aware, a car struck me while I was riding my bike the other day. It was a hit and run, and I'm currently recovering from a broken clavicle. On that note, I've decided to keep my selections upbeat this week — collarbone be damned!
The community busted out with a pretty awesome selection of songs, too. Contributor Alex R. Cronk-Young jumped in with the main theme from an uber-popular Internet meme called Robot Unicorn Attack. Jukebox regulars Jimmy Flores and Ryan Conway represent Sonic two-fold — maybe they are gearing up for Sonic 4. And Bitmob's resident RPG guru, Brian Shirk, suggests a great tune from yet another re-release of the original Lunar.
Want to know how to get your song on the list? Hit the jump and find out how.
I've got three ways to get your speakers pumpin':

Method 3: I'm Tired of This Playlist
Tired of this week's Jukebox selections? Want to scope which classic songs other Bitmobbers have already nabbed? Then check out The Bitmob Community Jukebox Archive. Contributor Evan Killham created — and maintains — a comprehensive list of every song that the community and I have ever chosen.
With hundreds of tunes available in the Archive, you don't need to fret if this week's jams aren't to your taste. Just click the link, and the records keep on spinnin'!
For all you newcomers, here's how it works — I've got just two simple rules for submitting songs:
1) Songs from music games with original music and licensed songs from game soundtracks like Grand Theft Auto are OK. Submissions from games like Guitar Hero or Rock Band will not be accepted. Otherwise, this post may turn into a competition between people's favorite bands.
2) Only one submission response per person, per week.
When you've thought of a selection, put it in the comments below. And don't worry about the theme you see in the title of the post — I name each edition retroactively.
I will always try to find the official name of any song I use — whether it comes from myself or the community. If I am unable to verify a song's title, I will mark it with an asterisk (*).
Finally, if you'd like to win the Double-Plus Good Song of the Week (the weekly best of award), try to think of an obscure song or a song you think the community and I have overlooked in previous posts.
P.S. My shoulder really hurts. Owww!
