about

I wanted a very modern sounding love song with a lot of production, sort of like the opener to KISS's Destroyer, so I tried my hand a little at chiptunes to open the track, and went heavy on the keys.

lyrics

Hey baby, do you wanna play Nintendo? Cause when I see you I remember my first time,
Watching Mario storm the castle, I wanna love you like it's 1989.

I'm waiting...Turn out the light... and sit here next to me...

Just pick a game, I'll be your second player. We'll rock out Contra, or take turns at Mega Man
I've got the gun if you like Hogan's Alley, or even Duck Hunt, but the dog will laugh 'cause

I'll be aiming... for your heart... gun pressed to the screen

And I just thought you should know, that you—you mean everything to me.
And I just thought you should know, that you—you're worth fighting for, you'll see.
And when I reach the end of this level I'll raise my flag and fire my fireworks
If you're in another castle, girl... Then there I'll go.

Remember when a world of 8 bit blockheads, seemed the pinnacle of game technology
I think it's best if we went back to basics, We'll play some Battletoads and tag team wrestling

I'm only... serious...Just press start, you'll see.

Bit by bit, screen by screen, we'll build a story line
Face the bosses, beat the game, a level at a time
until you're mine
