On the subject of Japan and Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now", here's another curiousity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTo-wFfIXKo

Somebody took a copy of Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo and hex-edited the levels so that instead of requiring a human player, the game's built-in physics propels Mario through the level. And, the levels were designed so that the various sound effects caused by Mario stomping on and bumping into things vaguely approximate the music to Don't Stop Me Now. AND four entirely different levels were created, each attempting to reproduce the part of some particular member of Queen. AND they occasionally sync up for the more spectactular parts of the song.
