Welcome back to the first Mix Tape Challenge of 2011 (sorry we took so long)! Anyway, February's coming up and we all know what that means...
BOSS BATTLE!
...what did you think it was going to be?
Pick 5 songs that would be your video game boss theme: something to play as you beat the life bars out of any digital heroes who dared to enter your sinister lair.
As always, the rules are in effect:
1. FINISH THE MIXTAPE. Five songs, no repeats; meaning don’t just copy-paste the same song 5 times (though I expect there to be some overlap between people’s lists). Remixes, covers, and live / acoustic versions are acceptable as well.
2. PROVIDE LINKS. Let us hear what matters to you! Just a couple minutes of rooting around on Google or YouTube should be enough to provide sources for your list.
3. NO PICKING ON ANYONE'S MUSICAL TASTE. I AM SERIOUS ABOUT THIS YOU GUYS. If you don't dig the selection, move on.
4. STICK TO THE THEME. While I’d like to keep the entries within the bounds of whatever the current category is, if you’re absolutely stuck but still want to contribute and whatever you want is out of bounds Rule #1 comes first. If you include explanations of your choices, all the better!

Well, I started out strong...careful consideration, scouring my music library for possibilities...but when I finished I found I had way too many songs! So, to help narrow it down, I picked tracks where the titles, lyrics (most of them, anyway) and tunes all fit. And here we are! Bjork | Army of MeI think I would be that asshole boss that would send a legion of minions to soften you up before you even saw me....and then I'd have like, thirteen forms for you to fight. Cobra Starship | Bring ItWhat's this? You've been grinding levels for two weeks straight? You ventured on a brutal trek into the bowels of the undead earth to acquire the ultimate weapon? Carefully calculated the best spell strings to take me out? Bring it. I'll still kick your ass. ICP | My AxeWorth it for the 'ouch ouch ouch ouch tylenol tylenol tylenol tylenol' chorus alone. Also, super-boss Elisia would totally have a huge ass axe for a weapon. Well, either that or tentacle porn. Maybe an axe made of tentacle porn. Dweezil & Ahmet Zappa | Hit Me Baby One More TimeWe've been fighting for 3 hours straight, I must be close to dead by now, right? You're beat up, exhausted...but the idea that you're so close to victory you can taste it gives you the strength to carry on! Too bad I've got eleventy-billion hit points, and you've only knocked out about five hundred of them. Vast | Pretty When You CryOh, too bad. You lost again. Well, go grind some more levels and read a FAQ, I'll see you in another two weeks.
