Episode 55: Fire and Lava

In Episode 55, Brent and Rob embrace a hot topic.  Not a controversial topic, just literally hot.  That is, they share tracks from only fire/lava stages in video games.  What a nice, toasty way to get in to the cooler, Fall season!  And, for your convenience, The Legacy Music Hour has included a photo of Omar Sharif at the end of this post.  Feel free to use that photo appropriately.  Full track listing below.

    Glad you finally played Fire Field. I thought it was notably absent from the racing games episode.

    It's actually Tatsuyuki Maeda, but the updated set I supplied to Project2612 has not been uploaded to the database yet.

    Why didn't I ever see this before!? I wrote and performed a rap song about being pasty white. When I performed it, my friend held up white pieces of paper with images corresponding to my lyrics--a la that old INXS video.

    Among the lines: "It's hard when your skin is whiter than your teeth. If only I could tan like Omar Sharif...." a photo of Omar Sharif accompanied the line. The audience loved it.

    Some other gems:
    "The managers at Walgreen's are starting to hate me 'cause I keep asking if they carry SPF 80"
    "When I get burnt, people mistake me for a monster 'cause U-V-Rays-turn-me-into-a red LOBSTER"
    "One time I met this sweet grandma; when she saw the freckles on my arms she called me white banana(true story)"

    I listened to the music and looked at the photo. To my surprise I grew a moustache along with hair in parts of my body that didn't have hair before. My voice has changed and I am now emitting a musky odor. Can anyone tell me what the heck is going on with my body?

    Man...that Sonic 3D Blast track was SO good. I hate that game and never got far enough to hear that song, so I'm very happy Rob played it. WOW I love it.
