Video Game Music and Guitars

Having played several video games and watching several movies in my lifetime, I have gotten several of the songs stuck in my head. I think that music heard in movies and video games are often underrated. They are original compositions written by professional composers and musicians specifically for the movie or video game. Their names are unknown; but often, their songs are well known (I don't even know their names). Sometimes there are exceptions like when Alicia Keys and Jack White came up with a tune for the Quantum of Solace James Bond Movie or when Ludacris did a track for 2 Fast 2 Furious; but often times, these are relatively unrecognized musicians and composers that do it for the sake of the music. The paycheck doesn't hurt either, but they would make a lot more if they were truly famous.

These tunes are very well known and numerous. Here is just a list of a few of the songs:
-Super Mario Bros. theme songs
-Legend of Zelda theme songs
-Pokemon theme songs
-James Bond main theme
-Batman main theme (Adam West version)
-Star Wars theme songs
-Pirates of the Carribean theme
-Jaws theme
-Lion King theme songs
-Spider Man cartoon theme
-The Simpsons theme
-Rocky theme
-Tetris theme
I bet the average person could hum at least 10 out of 13 of these songs off the top of their heads. The reason I am bringing this all into attention is because this is all legitimate music. The best thing about these theme songs is that people often have a strong association with a scene in a movie that causes people to react a certain way. For example, the Rocky theme makes people associate with the training montage in the original movie where Rocky shows true grit and determination. This inspires a strong sense of grit and determination in people who listen. Also, the main theme to The Legend of Zelda or Pirates of the Carribean can make people feel like they're about to embark on an epic (if not cliché) adventure. Not to mention the Jaws theme, which inspires primal fear in those who listen to it.

My favorite video game song to play is a song called Big Blue from the racing game F-Zero. As the name implies, the song seems to capture some essence of the ocean. But the main thing about this song is that people can associate it with speed and adrenaline, which are all perfect for a racing game. I like this song because it's a hard-driving rock song that can be played with some soul. I will even post the tab for the song tomorrow. But for now, here is a video.

If you have a favorite video game/movie song, feel free to post it and maybe I will post some tabs for the songs.
