Lets see how many songs we can find that have video games mentioned in them, I will start.....

Notorious B.I.G. (Juicy)

Super nintendo, sega genesis

When I was dead broke, man I couldnt picture this

Paula DeAnda (Walk Away)

Does she know that you like too

Play PS2 till 6 in the morning

Like I do

There's one on the tip of my brain. I think it was someone like Tragically Hip but I'll have to think some more.

Here's three i do remember.

Three 6 Mafia - Playstation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7Rud8Ww1f0

Eiffel 65 - My console

Weird Al Yankovic - When I Was Your Age Lyrics

Didn't have no telephone, didn't have no FAX machine

All we had was a couple cans and a crummy piece of string

Didn't have no swimming pool when I was just a lad

Our neighbor's septic tank was the closest thing we had

Didn't have no dental floss, had to use old rusty nails

Didn't have Nintendo, we just poured salt on snails

I could play this game all day...

Start with K7 with Come Baby Come

"Trying to play me out just like my name was SEGA"

Style Points Edit:

American Hi-Fi with Flavor of the Week

"He is too stoned....Nintendo....

How Many Mics - Fugees

Me without a mike is like a beat without a snare

I dare to tear into your ego, we go, way back

Like some ganja and palequo or ColecoVision

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince : Then She Bit Me

No, she wasn't there.

I'm tellin you I saw her.

No, really I saw her.

She was playing checkers.

No, Nintendo.

Ok, I'm lying.

There's the line "I just completed Gran Turismo on the hardest setting" in the song "The Irony of it all" by The Street's

It's been a while since I've listened to the song but it's about an aggressive drunk guy having a conversation with a laid back stoner student and it's pretty funny. I'm sure some of The Street's other song's may have some Video Game references too but this is the only one I remember.

In other songs he talks about 64s and Playstations, and something called a "Web Henry?" I don't know what that is..

Yeah your right, he does name check Playstation in his song's too. Good spot.

Actually in the same song "The Irony of it all" there's the line "just a few eight's and some playstation's my vocation".

Can't remember any N64 reference's but I'm sure there probably are some.

Well since both of mine were taken I'd like to add a fix to this answer.

"Trying to play me out like my name was Sega'

That would be House of Pain - Jump Around.
