Sweet song about vidjagames made even sweeter with Street Fighter

Chun-Li must defeat Ken in order to serenade Ryu

You know, there really should be more love songs about video games. Yes, your contribution has been noted, Lana Del Rey, you can sit down now. Even though the radio would have you believe that 90% of long term relationships begin at “da club,” I certainly know of far more couplings that have come about through a mutual appreciation of games. So thank goodness for this new jam from “Wonder” Lan Nguyen , who bundles all of that potential sweetness into a catchy tune that, IMO, accurately embodies the emotional bonds we may experience through the story, characters, and interactivity found in this little medium of ours… * sniff*

Appropriately titled “Video Game Love Song,” it’s difficult not to crack a smile at lyrics like “I could be your Princess Zelda… In the Legend of Me.” The accompanying music video, however, cranks the reverence up to 11 by depicting (among other things) a singing Chun-Li fighting Ken over Ryu’s heart! Give it a watch and I’m sure it will cast a bright glow on your otherwise dreary Monday morning.  Then go give WonderLan some love on her Facebook , YouTube channel , or pick the song up on iTunes.
