This Week on Martronauts, I am the wind, I am the sun, and one day will all be one, or not because

the future is a tangled spaghetti mess of music rights. Oh, Welcome to this very lyrical episode of Retronauts. I am your host for this week, Nadia

Oxford, and I have two very special guests with me here today. You probably know them,

maybe. You might know, you might know diamond fight. What do you say

Diamond are you just like a a cool friend of mine? Gee that's so loaded I know I'm I'm here to hit the

high notes today that's what that's what I'm here for am I cool I'm here to hit the high notes today. That's what I'm here for. Am I cool? I don't know I've I've taken Logan on all these questions. I'm just I'm just here to talk about music

Sounds great. Yeah, no, you're awesome. You're also no matter what. And Bob Mackie, you are also awesome. Say hello.

Hello everybody, it's me,

Baba Yattu Mackie, and I can't carry a tune in a bucket.

And I can't actually pronounce any of those lyrics in that song but I do love it and I love video game music with lyrics

dating back to I don't know the early 90s yeah this is a topic I just kind of like that just got sprung off the top of my head like thinking about it, okay,

we've kind of watched the evolution of game music all three of us and at some point someone decided, yeah, we are going to put lyrics in with our chip tunes.

And by God, it has been a longer journey than I thought it was, like going back through the history of game, music, and lyrics. First of all, what you have to start with in many

instances is I suppose what you would call the karaoke version of a lot of songs like a great example

of being the opera from Final Fantasy 6 where you could technically sing along if you wanted to like if you didn't feel embarrassed about that.

Although I have seen like some live action performances of the opera from Final

and it was done really, really well.

How about you guys?

What is the first instance you can remember

of hearing, like even just a voice in a video game

being like, whoaa this is so cool going

along to the music this is so awesome. Well I I was there for the early arcade
