Aquaman's Lament

Listeners to our podcasts might know that we occasionally like to make fun of Aquaman. Readers of our Quick Hits section might know that I have been known to enjoy a good superhero theme song. Perhaps with this information in mind, Mike Epstein from the band The Motion Sick sent us this link to a music video for their song Aquaman’s Lament.

Another tune of theirs you might want to give a listen to is 30 Lives, which is based on using the Konami Code to spend 30 lives with a loved one. Not only is it included in all of the recent Dance Dance Revolution games but the video has also aired on networks like Fuse, MuchMusic, and MTV Latin America. And if you’re interested in even more from The Motion Sick, check out their website where you can download a bunch of their music for FREE.

But something interesting I discovered while googling various Aquaman related pages for this post is more than one rocking tune titled Aquaman’s Lament. The second I found was by Mark Aaron James and it also has a You Tube video so in the interest of fairness I’ll share it as well. Let the debate begin as to which musical tribute to DC’s King of the Sea is indeed the best!
