Not so much 'bringing back' as 'making it known world-wide': the Tetris-Melody! (which is actually the russian song 'Korobeiniki')

...so, just out of curiosity: now after I mentioned the Tetris melody, who else has it stuck in his head again an is silently whistling it?

Revenge will be mine.
Not in, but thanks and +1 for your generosity, KneeTheCap!

Also, a little promotion in the Giveaways' Directory:

I discovered Poets of the Fall thanks to their ending theme for Max Payne 2, Late Goodbye (I kept a savegame just before the end and I cannot tell you how many times I loaded the game just to hear that theme again).

And later their song Lift was included in the 2005 version of 3Dmark.

Now I'm a fan of this Finnish rock band. :)

I wonder if someone else in the forum found out them in the same way? ;)

Saints Row 2 is also worth a mention; especially Krunch 106.66! \m/

That game and this band were the exact ones I was going to mention myself. I got a friend to buy me the album with those two songs on (from Hong Kong of all places), but the band itself never seemed to get the success they deserved over here.

So now I have to think of something else.... hmmm..... I don't know about 'bringing it back', but game music that has interested me enough to seek out other works by the same artist - there I can share something. The 'Persona' games on the PS2 featured music by Shoji Meguro and Lotus Juice, very different to what I'd normally have listened to but I was instantly hooked. Anyone interested should know that 'Persona 4: The Golden' is coming out on the PSVita next month (and is already out in other parts of the world).
Prince of Persia Warrior Within, Godsmack - Straight out of line.
That was one epic game, franchise's best. Not in but thanks

JogsterXL: I agree, I've found some great music through video games.

Most recently I was playing BioShock 2 and found some great oldies that I fell in love with. Just to name a few: Doggie In The Window by Patti Page, Ten Cents a Dance by Ruth Etting, and Here Comes The Bogey Man by Henry Hall. I had never heard of these prior to this game, and I fell in love at first listen.
And of course the original Bioshock featured Bobby Darin - Beyond the Sea. :)

Not really old songs, but many people who played the game probably looked them up because of the game.

Yeah, good chance the hot lady botties clad in fishnets and thongs aren't Finnish - Swedish probably - they've got the rep for being hot after all!
+1 but not in.

For me it was Rock'n'Roll Racing on SNES. All those classic rock songs from the '70s were brought back to life through the power of midi :)
I shall PM the key today to a random person in this thread. Yes.
