The 33rd edition of the Jukebox features a community-submitted song from a game that I've never heard of: Impossamole. While its theme didn't win song of the week, it does win the award for "Most Ridiculous Game Title." I'm not sure what an Impossamole is, but I'd really like to own one as a pet.

Also up on the chopping block this week is a track from PaRappa the Rapper (hint: It's sung by an onion that likes to chop). Pixel Revolt co-host Jeff Grubb picks a number from the classic point-and-click adventure Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. And we've got a healthy round of RPG ditties from the Final Fantasy, Shin Megami Tensei, and Mother series. Give them a listen below.

Got a great game tune that no one seems to appreciate? Hit the jump to find out how to share it.

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. Can Impossamoles fly? Maybe they can shoot lasers out of their eyes or turn lead in to gold. They have to be able to do something impossible, right?
