I wonder what kind of song would go with each charaters in Psychonauts. Personally, I think Milla's would be Abba's Dancing Queen
I declare this board made of awesome.
The censor's song would be No! by They Might be Giants.
Raz - The Chimbley Sweep by the Decemberists (Though I'm not sure why...)
Nils-We Fly High-Jim Jones.
Somthing tells me that Nils would frequently yell "BALLIN'!" if he existed. xDDD
Lili - My Boyfriend's Back by The Angels
--well, Raz is back and is pissed
Phoebe - Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd --good Zippo flicking song
Agent Cruller - Rock You Like a Hurricane by The Scorpions --He just pwns everybody
Franke/Kitty - I Feel Pretty; Hair --They're so obsessed with beauty
Raz - Step Up by Drowning Pool --for facing all sorts of challenges to save the world
Maloof - Godfather theme
Mikhail - The Soviet National Anthem by the Red Army Orchestra (forgot exact name)
Franke/Kitty - I Feel Pretty; Hair --They're so obsessed with beauty
I thought that was from West Side Story.
Vernon - A Quick One, While He's Away by The Who. It's a story song, AN AWESOME ONE!
and it's 9 minutes long.
^^^Probably so. Sorry, I was putting 2 songs, separated by a semi-colon. Hair is actually a song by The Cowsills. I'm pretty sure it's in a musical.
Boyd's theme is either Every Day is Exactly the Same or Right Where it Belongs, and Fred's theme is Only (All by Nine Inch Nails).
Bobby's theme is probably Kung Fu by Tenacious D or Kick Some Ass by Stroke 9.
The Dog artists song would be who let the dogs out. No, wait. It would be blue skies. But instead of blue skies, it's blue puppies.
Vernon's would be that Weird Al song, Albuquerque. How do you spell? Whatever. Or that Weird Al song about the drive through. Both are really, really long and random stories that make no sense.
Boyd's also I Think I'm Gonna Die Today. I don't remember the artist or if it's just a verse in the song.
Sasha Nein - Closer (NIN)
lol
If I was to take the humouress view on Boyd Cooper, "We Didn't Start the Fire".
It's very hard to come up with a serious song for Psychonauts. The perfect songs, I believe, are the ones in the game. That's what I thought was going to be discussed here as I had something, that I thought, was very interesting about Sasha's themes.
The songs that would be their theme songs, would have to be off-kilter, toungue-in-the-cheek yet creepy all the same.
For the Asylum Patients, I prescribe "Frontier Psychiatrist (

First one at the top, if there are any problems, please tell me.
...what about Sasha's theme? Is it the underlying Beethovan measures when the censors are released?
^^^I thought Sasha's brain music was fitting.
Sasha Nein - Closer (NIN)
lol
OMG are you a Sasha/Raz shipper?
OMG are you a Sasha/Raz shipper?
Not all the time.
...what about Sasha's theme? Is it the underlying Beethovan measures when the censors are released?
Not only that, but the sinister, eretheral undertones in the song "Sasha's Immaculate Mind." Which in turn, makes the title undenyingly ironic.
It also suggests that his mind, while certainly much different and more sane than other brains of the Psychonauts world, is not incapable of insanity.
Also suggesting that any brain is not as far away from insanity as we would like to think, and this is the sense I got with the entire game, just Sasha's world, and music, spelled it out for me.
That's doesn't mean what the game was trying to say is that we're all psychopaths, but that something as complex as the brain cannot be spelled out in black and white, and that we are all a little more neurotic than we would like to think.

Lili- You Know I'm No Good by Amy Winehouse.
Sothing tells me this dark jazz/r&b is really Liliesque. Besides, Lili's a total bad girl on the outside.
Oh my God! Couch Oleander = "Megalomaniac" by Incubus! XD
And for Fred... what's the song that goes "Oh my name's Napoleon Bonaparte and have I got a deal for you, I'm in danger of being blown apart so I make this appeal to you? Da-daaaaaa, da da dada..."
It's about the Louisiana purchase but it's still fitting.
Bringing this back, cause it's awesome.
Butcher dad - The Go Meat chant from the hillshire farm commericial. Y'know.
"Go meat, meat. Go meat, meat. Go meat, meat. Go meat, meat. That salar rocks, the best! Make it easy at your desk! It's second to none just add leatus(sp) and you're done! That's crazy girl, I swear, there is so much stuff in there sa-sa-sa-salad, YEAH, the meaty salad, WHAT? Because you hungry, you hungry, yo mamma says you hungry! When I say hillshire you say farms. Hillshire! FARMS! GO MEAT!"
Elton's would be Sea of Love.
Yes, I know. *waves hand with fake modesty*
