UPDATE: You are free to submit more than one idea, so long as you don’t spam us with posts. To make it simple, let’s set a limit to three song ideas per person. Honor system applies, don’t create dummy email accounts or use proxy/tunnel to mask your IP address!
Yesterday, in our review [3] of The OneUps’ latest album Intergalactic Continuum, we noted the extremely witty and clever track titles for the songs on the album. Now it’s time for you to make up your own title!
Here’s all you have to do: leave a comment on this article that includes a song, or a medley of songs from a game/franchise that you would love to have arranged by The OneUps. Then, give that dream arrangement a clever title. The funkiest (or funniest) entry will win a new, sealed copy of Intergalactic Continuum, courtesy of Mustin Enterprises and OSV. Free shipping within North America, but if you live anywhere else, we may have to ask you to Paypal 5 USD to OSV to cover international shipping. But we’re not limiting the contest to US/Canada residents, so anyone and everyone, feel free to submit your entry! We’ll close entries at noon EST on Thursday, Sept 13 and announce the winner the next day.
And hey, if we’re lucky, maybe The OneUps will use the entries as a source of inspiration. Who knows what we’ll hear at MAGFest 11?!

Gotta love The OneUps. Thanks for this opportunity! Here’s my pick:
Super Mario Bros. 3 – Koopa Kid Battle / World Map 8: Dark Land / Bowser Battle
“Dicks With Chick”
I think this material lends itself to their newer style quite well, but if they don’t pick up on this, somebody needs to!

Forest Maze (Mario RPG) – This forest has me itchin in all the wrong places
#5 Comment By Jacob On September 7, 2012 @ 2:24 pm
Damn, it’s easy enough to think of a track but an interesting title… I can hear my brain breaking wind as it comes up with nothing (well, nothing good at least).
Eh, I’ll give it a shot I suppose –
“I Came For the Unicorns, I Died For the Pearlstone”
track: Hallow – Scott Lloyd Shelly

Final Fantasy V – Clash on the Big Bridge
FUNK ON THE BIG BASS

Love me some intergalactic funk. Keep on groovin’ Mustin and co.
As for the contest, I’d choose:
Song: “Thrashard In The Cave” – Sota Fujimori
Album: Castlevania Chronicles Original Soundtrack
#8 Comment By Nathaniel T On September 7, 2012 @ 6:24 pm
I would love a medley of songs from Bastion, like Build that Wall, Spike in a Rail, and Setting Sail, Coming Home. You could call it:
Build That Wall and Break it Down

“Castlevania main theme (NES) Nosferatu strikes back!”
“Gravity Man (Mega man) Gravity doesnt effect me!”
“Yamato man (Megaman 10) Way of the warrior”

I dunno how you guys feel about multiple submissions – I don’t want to take unfair advantage, so feel free to ignore this if it’s out of order! – but I’d like to offer an alternate take on mine from earlier. Drop the Koopa Kids theme, and they could call it, “Gotta Beat the Prick to Save the Chick”. Not so much of a direct pun, but the meaning’s clearer that way.
Or, here’s a similar take on different track:
Chrono Cross – Dance With the Lizards
“Reptile Chase With Style and Grace”
#11 Comment By Franz On September 7, 2012 @ 9:53 pm
Bejeweled 2 Theme
“Befunkified”
#12 Comment By THE DOCK On September 8, 2012 @ 9:43 am
Chrono Cross – Radical Dreamers
Chrono Trigger – Chrono Trigger
Transcending Space and Time…The Bass Was Sublime
#13 Comment By THE DOCK On September 8, 2012 @ 9:52 am
Earthbound – Your name please
Earthbound – Humoresque of a little dog
Earthbound – Enjoy your stay!
Earthbound – Bed and Breakfast
PK Chillin’
#14 Comment By Conspera On September 8, 2012 @ 11:14 pm
Earthbound – Fourside
#15 Comment By Conspera On September 8, 2012 @ 11:25 pm
Kid Icarus – Main Theme
Star Fox – Corneria
Earthbound – Pokey
#16 Comment By Conspera On September 8, 2012 @ 11:34 pm
Whoops, meant to say Pokey Means Business in the last post. I feel like that battle theme could be turned into a truly awesome funk session.
Here’s a couple more:
Deus Ex – The Synapse
Parasite Eve – U.B. (or even Arise Within)
Would love to hear a completely arranged Secret of Mana album too. What they did with Into the Thick Of It was brilliant, and I feel like there are many good tracks they can utilize for arranging.

Conspera — you’re missing the second half of the assignment. You have to come up with a clever new name for the song, a la the track names on Intergalactic Continuum. All you’ve done is throw out seven songs you’d like The OneUps to arrange (which is too many!).
Agreed, though, that they did a great job w/ “Into the Thick of It” on OneUps Vol2
#18 Comment By Vaeran On September 9, 2012 @ 7:32 pm
Katamari Damacy – Fugue #7777 (This Place Was Cool Before It Got Popular)
Maniac Mansion – Maniac Theme (GO TO: Club TURN ON: This Song GET: Action)
Super Metroid – Escape (You’ll Never See Your Security Deposit Again)
#19 Comment By sir joe On September 10, 2012 @ 9:13 am
“The Cheet Is On” (Action 52 – Cheetahmen Theme)
#20 Comment By Exclamando On September 10, 2012 @ 1:43 pm
Wake Up (Mass Effect 3)
Windmill Theme (Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)
Jack (Mass Effect 2)
“Quixotic Biotic”
Got this hodgepodge of songs stuck in my head at the moment. It’s maddening.
#21 Comment By Jack Williams On September 11, 2012 @ 2:49 pm
“Suey Codeine Soaked in Soda”
(Suikoden II – Gothic Neclord)
#22 Comment By Nathaniel T On September 11, 2012 @ 6:02 pm
Since you’re giving us two more choices, I would be remiss not to include two more ideas!
The first one is a song from Ocarina of Time (reused in Wind Waker), Inside Jabu Jabu’s Belly. The perfect name is of course: “Nine Out of Ten Dentists Agree That Giant Fish Have Bad Breath”
Here’s another one for Shatterhand Area A: “The OneUps Do Not Recommend Punching With Shattered Hands”
#23 Comment By Geoff On September 11, 2012 @ 10:57 pm
I just have one entry right now, but might submit another if I think of one: Still Alive (Portal) – Alive and Kickin’ (Can’t Stop Me Now)
#24 Comment By Roth On September 12, 2012 @ 3:30 am
I’d love to a hear a medley of songs from Conker’s Bad Fur Day by The OneUps. You can call it “Conker’s Jazz Funk Day”. \:D/
