What's up pussycat?

Don't you like making other people listen to your music? They have to pretend to like it, and it's especially fun if you pick one of those ten-hour versions you can find on YouTube. Well, we're letting you do that to us.

We want you to help us pick our theme song, something that really gives off the GOG.com vibe. Then, we're going to play it for one full workday, on repeat, continuously. We're letting you put our whole office at your mercy.

How exactly can you join in on this looped madness?

It's simple. Pick a song that you think is the perfect theme song for GOG.com. Post a link to it along with the title and artist, and we will pick the one that will be used to delight our entire Warsaw office. We'll make sure to document the fateful day somehow and share it with the world - so stay tuned after the contest ends for some quality entertainment!

THE GRAND PRIZE:
We loved how many of you participated in our previous contest, "Show off your (old) gear, win shiny new (ROCCAT) gear!", which is why we're teaming up with the good folks from ROCCAT once again - this time to bring you their newest headset to hit the market: the ROCCAT Kave.
How's that for a prize? ;) The winner will also get a small avalanche of GOG.com game codes to additionally celebrate their victory.

HONORABLE MENTIONS:
While we'll only be able to play one song on a nearly eternal, 10-hour loop, there'll surely be more than one good suggestion - that's why every hour we'll take a short break to feature one other song. Nine honorable mentions will be awarded and their songs added to our playlist of doom.

THE RULES:

- You can only post one entry per person. If you post more, only the first one will be counted.
- You may not edit your post.
- If many people pick the winning song, we'll pick the headset winner at random (but game codes will be awarded to the others as well!)

Post your entry in the comments below before the deadline - you have a week, until April 13th, at 12:59 PM GMT. We aim to judge your entries and pick winners by the following Monday - we'll announce them in the contest forum thread and via PM to the winners themselves.

I think a really appropriate song would be 'The Singing Nun - Dominique' played non-stop in the main hall of American Horror Story Asylum.

Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take It
I think that most of us have arrived at GoG at some moment and found again a game that was presumed lost. What word can best describe this feeling that joy? And then, which song could better describe the feeling that GoG provides than the

Ode to Joy, from Ludwig van Beethoven?

Choices. choices. I'm thinking something like:

J.S. Bach, Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
Modest Mussorgsky, A Night on Bald Mountain
Carl Orff, Carmina Burana, O Furtuna.

But that's what I wouldn't mind hearing all day.

This is an exercise in torturing others half the world away so I'll finalize with:

Mini Moni - Strawberry Pie!

I'm going to go out on a limb and recommend Blueprint by post-hardcore legends Fugazi. The lyrics of the song describes very optimistically our obligation to bring about change with concentrated effort and planning, which I think nicely reflects GOG's ethos in a very cynical industry.

I think there's a connection when you compare the band's narrative to that of GOG's, too. Guitarist and co-vocalist in the group, Ian McKaye, also founded Dischord Records, which is a seminal do-it-yourself label that has released dozens of classic punk and indie records, all without signing any contracts. Moreover, they strive to treat their customers as fairly as their artists, and continue to sell their records at low prices - sound familiar?

To be fair, the song might be a little dreary after ten hours, but its sentiment will certainly endure a lot longer than that. You really owe yourself a listen!
Oh GOG. You just can't help yourselves, it seems. Well, silliness begets silliness, and it only seems appropriate to herald the coming Galaxy silliness with Monty Python's Galaxy Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buqtdpuZxvk

Works perfectly on a loop. Very silly.

Can we have your liver then?
Hey Hey 16K...

I think Manowar - Fighting the World would be a great fit. Fighting the world against DRM...
Queen - We Will Rock You

Popcorn by Hot Butter

Search for the following text to listen:

Hot Butter - Popcorn (Synthesia(10 Hours))

Apparently, I do not have enough rep to post links, "at this moment."

Classic electronic music, for the company that has brought back so many classic games, from the era that gave birth to the modern video game. I picked this version for its presentation. The sound is clear and deep. It loops seamlessly. The music is lively enough to inspire, and hypnotic enough for those moments when you just want to stare at the screen and think about, maybe, doing some work. The visuals are entrancing, and bring to mind the old looping games/programs that we have burned so many hours using to make our own diddies. ...and, at ten hours, it will run the entire work day.

This never gets old.

My choice... The few second clip of whistling from Always Look on the Bright Side of Life by Monty Python.

Leftfield - Phat Planet
Hmm, can't post the link but:

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up

would love to see a time lapse of the whole office's reaction throughout the 10 hours of listening to this - i'm hoping by the end of it you've got all the moves :)
