Leen and I were Christmas shopping recently, and we ran across a store that sold used Nintendo 64 games for decent enough deals. While browsing, we found the game "1080," which is a snowboarding game. The title refers to the number of degrees you can spin in the game's most difficult stunt. (It is so difficult, in fact, that it is impossible.)

When Dave lived in Franklin, NH, we visited him every few months, and on one occasion, Leen got to playing 1080. So buying a used copy of that game was a nostalgia trip for us.

But all that is just background for my point. My point is that, in an age where pop songs churn out the same old recycled banal cliches for lyrics time and again, it's interesting to see how truly inspired and inspirational song lyrics come from video games, of all places. I'm sitting here listening to the lyrics of the music as Leen is playing 1080, and one spiritual epiphany strikes me after another.

Let me share, by reprinting the lyrics to one of the tracks here:

Work your body, work your body.
Work your body, work your body.
Work your body, work your body.
Work your body, work your body.

Work your body, work your body.
Work your body, work your body.
Work your body, work your body.
Work your body, work your body.

Work your body, work your body.
Work your body, work your body.
Work your body, work your body.
Work your body, work your body.
