(Mods-The forum says "Other written work", so I assume this is okay-if not, I'll move it to a blog post. In any case-there is a Game Freak/Pokemon episode of the show, so it is tangentially related at least)

Notes:

-Song is referring to this.
-I put Teen because the source material is fairly explicit.
-For the unaware, "Nihon" is the Japanese word for Japan (much like how "Deutschland" is the German word for Germany).

Ode to Arino
Parody of “Angry Video Game Nerd Theme” by Kyle Justin
With new lyrics by Steven “PokePress” Reich


He’s gonna take you back to the past,
To play the classic games he #*! at.
He’d rather fight a buffalo
Than watch Dhalsim getting punched in his ear
He’s gonna fall for every trap hole
If you think he's sunk, I guess you're new here

It’s the gamiest center you’ve ever heard,
He’s the Nihon Nintendo nerd
He’s the Nihon Konami Sega nerd
He’s the Nihon video game nerd

Don’t you turn off your TV
He’s gonna make it-wait and see!
Arino’s thumbs may hurt, he may break a sweat
Although he’s cornered our guy will never back down
He’ll grab a cooling pad, no he ain’t done yet
Armed with his helpers he will take these games down

It’s the gamiest center you’ve ever heard,
He’s the Nihon Nintendo nerd
He’s the Nihon SNK Capcom nerd
He’s the Nihon video game nerd

He brings the worst game of all time
Pitiful annihilations blow my mind
But when he starts each marathon, he says:
Arino: GameCenter CX! Kacho-On!

From eight on up to sixty-four bit
This show is huge you know it’s a hit
Where did he learn to swim?
Why can’t he land a plane?
What were they thinking when they gave him this game?
His strategy’s always wrong
Let’s help him get along
Come on now ADs go do your thing!

It’s the gamiest center you’ve ever heard,
His game #*! so bad-hey watch out for that bird!
He’s the genkiiest most retro gaming nerd
He’s the Nihon Irem Namco Tecmo Sunsoft Hudson Soft
Sony Neo Geo Falcom Quintet Data East Vic Tokai Game Freak Nintendo Nerd
He’s the Nihon video game nerd

Background: I wrote this song for an upcoming presentation in my Japanese night class (I'm planning on recording it and using it as part of a PowerPoint presentation).

I thought the Kotaku dub was okay-perhaps the announcer was a bit too energetic-something that I think works better in Japanese than English.

Basically, I got the song idea from a couple places. One, someone commented that an attempt to create an American version of the show would probably not work as well and involve a lot of swearing. Second, I needed something to present to my Japanese night class, so since I had this idea in my head, I decided to go with it. Also, I figured there was a decent correlation between the AVGN and GCCX fan bases.
