Remember how the tunes from the old video games would get in your head and rattle around in there for ages. Can anyone ever forget the background music from the original Zelda or the Adventures of Link? What about the Super Mario Bros.? These tunes are still alive and well in modern times, and there are many retro gamers who try to immortalize them even further by adding their own spin to the already classic riffs.

Using instruments as unique as the laser harp or the cello, people have remastered old flicks and even stolen the riffs to make modern day hits, such as Coldplay’s clever borrowing of the Mario theme. For even more fun, many a classic video game is dubbed and used with retro pop hits. Check out some of these videos for a bit of nostalgia and possibly a chuckle.
