Welcome to the 44th edition of the Bitmob Community Jukebox. After a one-week hiatus for E3, the community-submitted songs are spinning again.
This week's selections include a whacky Japanese song from Goemon, a classic tune from the NES incarnation of Batman, and a fantastic song from the fantastic World of Goo soundtrack. Also, make sure to check out the track from the Deus Ex: Human Revolution trailer. Even through the preview features no gameplay footage, its mood and its story potential have me totally stoked.
Want to add your favorite song to the Jukebox playlist? All you have to do is hit the jump.
I've got three ways to play that funky music, white boy:

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. This just in: Alex Cronk-Young's choice isn't the best song of the week, but it is ridiculous…and awesome.
