Hey y'all!

I'm puttin together an "Arcade Party" Playlist and wondered to myself, what do other people "hear" when they think of the arcades?

Let's build an arcade soundtrack together!

Name any songs that remind you of being at the arcade!

They don't have to be video game or arcade themed (so be a little more creative than some Buckner & Garcia) and they don't necessarily have to be your personal favorite songs. They can be whatever genre! It can be retro or contemporary. They can be fast, heavy, some slow jams, or some real guilty pleasure pop ish you wouldn't wanna be caught dead humming.

Songs that instantly remind you of a fun, endless night with friends and family at the arcade!

Besides hearin some great music, I'm curious to see what "sound" and atmosphere we all associate with the arcades.

Rene & Angela - I'll Be Good


D Train - You're The One For Me


Evelyn King - Love Come Down


Yaz - Situation


Patrice Rushen - Forget Me Nots


Shalamar - For the Lover in You


Can't have an Arcade soundtrack without some Cars!
The Cars - Let's Go


...Or DEVO!
Devo - Whip It


Al B Sure - Nite and Day


Mary Jane Girls - In My House


Pet Shop Boys - Domino Dancing


LL Cool J - I Need a Beat (remix)


Nu Shooz - I Can't Wait


SOS Band - Just be Good to Me

I'd say go for 80s stuff, seeing as a great deal of popular arcade games are from that period. Synthesiser stuff is good. Maybe some Rick Astley!

AlienInferno:

Two that I remember hearing at my local arcade when I was a child is:

Ghostbusters Theme
Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby

Other then that I was usually too immersed in the game to care.

Vulgar Soul:

Oh yeah, Ghost Busters theme should def be played at any Arcade party!

And lol yeah Vanilla Ice is a good fit to.


Also how could I forget this New Wave classic! Obvious pick:

The Pretenders - Space Invaders
