true story: i started writing a bunch of trashy lo-fi industrial music a couple years ago, one of the songs was called 'bitcrusher' and it was about a dominatrix who liked to step on your junk with stiletto heels

Actually, back in the 8BC days I was guilty of the "sounds like gameboy" artist name.

I hate naming songs because I feel like it's always the corniest part of being a musician. Like most of you I skip lots of songs with the "LOL OBVIOUS VIDYA GAME REFERENCE/GAMEBOY PUN", but I also skip lots of songs where dudes are trying too hard to make a statement with their titles.
I also kind of hate my name MyLifeIsPixels, but I haven't thought of anything better to change it to.

Is anyone else bracing themselves for one of their track names to show up here?
I would say "Chipset Sunset" but it's so awesome that it transcends its name as well as time and space.

That doesn't really have any impact on it.

Back when I was a kid, I used to love the song "I Want To Be Your Lady Baby" by INOJ because of the line "These feelings I have for you Can go deeper if you can come Correct with your game boy" (for some reason all these years I thought she was saying "Bring your Gameboy" until I just looked it up).

No.
The closest I have, at least with released tunes, is "Piggy", which is a reference to LGPT (It's a HVL tune, though,). Urm... actually, "No I Cannot Break This" probably does count... =S
honestly I didnt mean for people to actually start referencing ACTUAL titles.
Okay, well I'll re-list this one: "As my Seriousbusinessman Gently Weeps". And here are some more:
"Give 'Em The AHX"
"Mi Amiga, Mi Corazon"
"Game Boys Byte The Dust"
"Come On, Let's Fight!"
"Follow the Red Brick Road"
"The Rainbow Road Connection"
"Chip Off The Ole Gray Brick"
"Can't Stop The Bit"
"BMPin' 2 The Bit"
"Big Game Huntin' Boy"
"Don't H8 The Playa (H8 The Game, boyEE)"
"Playa Playa #1"
"Laughing Dogs Don't Die"
"Back and Forth, SID to SID"
"Cya in '64"
"Young Man, 26(12 Guage Shotgun)"
"I'm Atari-eady to Go"
"My Gal Wears a MIDI"
"My 12-String GAtari"
K, I'm done.
All my titles are stuff like "song 1, Pc1. 1,"
Sometimes I'll just put in random letters, then, once the song is finished, make the random letters into an acronym. It usually works out pretty well.
Edit: "This Town Was Built On Grey Bricks"
Edit: "My Sweet 16-bit"
"Cool '64" (<---Smooth jazz right there, man.)
Edit:okay, last one for the gurrl power tweens out there:
"Boys Byte"

Do these have to be real titles or can we make them up?
Can we have a thread for cheesy awesome song or album titles that you can think of that fit the whole chip scene vibe?
Or is that not a thing?
Just wanted it to be made up.
I guess I wanted this thread to revel in the kitschiness that is definitely a part of the 'scene'.
