This is my favorite vocal cover of Space Harrier (and the Ducktales Moon theme):
My favorite official version of this kind of thing is SING!! Sega Game Music: presented by B.B. Queens, that also doubled as a copy of Teddy Boy Blues if you put it in your Sega CD: https://segaretro.org/SING!!_Sega_Game_Music_Presented_by_B.B._Queens I bought a copy of this album the last time I went to Japan because I loved these covers so much.
Absolutely adore the lyrics they gave Golden Axe II, stage 1:
Love that they turned the Outrun “put your initials here song” into a love ballad:
And I always always always sing these lyrics to myself when playing After Burner:
Also what the heck, this is some new info to me: the first song from that album, Funky Brothers, which the album claimed is from Teddy Boy Blues (which is the only reason I know about this album, from my Teddy Boy Blues obsession in like 2007) is actually a cover of the stage 1 song from the unreleased puzzle game Segasonic Bros! That’s such a neat reference and completely unknowable until 2018 when the game was playable to the internet.
Album version:
Original:
This makes so much more sense and makes that previously mystery song so much better with context!!! It’s too bad Segasonic Bros is kind of a bad game!!
Anyway, you can listen to the full album’s other great covers here:
