What are some of your favorite vocal songs in a video game?

I guess I pick some of my favorites.

Songs composed by Jeff Van Dyck for the old Total War games, vocals by his wife, Angela.

The club theme from the Syndicate remake. The game itself isn't great, but I thought it was noteworthy since it was surprising to hear Miku. Also, just catchy.

The entire soundtrack of Metal Gear Rising.

Since Total War was already brought up, I'll put in some for Persona 5.

The Persona series in general has great soundtracks. I see some were shared already, but these are my favorites:

As Cara Mia was already included above I'll put the next best portal one in

Does the Ar tonelico franchise count, considering most of its vocal tracks are in a made-up language? The games have an astounding amount of absolutely magical music, vocal or not. Here are the first songs that come to mind:

(By the way, how do you guys embed videos? I'm manually copying the embed code from YT and deleting the parts that seem superfluous, but I'm sure there's a better way. Or do you just copypaste the entire thing?)

Some more of my other favorite picks from the PS1 and Sega Saturn era.

Let's get some electro J-pop up in here.

It's a shame this song only plays if you, and I say this with this much emphasis deliberately, SUCK. HARD.

Devil May Cry 5's Bury the Light and Devil Trigger, and Devil May Cry 3's Devil Never Cry.

Open your Heart (Sonic Adventure)
Live and Learn (Sonic Adventure 2)
All of Me (Shadow the Hedgehog)
Jump Up, Super Star! (Super Mario Odyssey)
One Winged Angel (Final Fantasy VII)
DK Rap (Donkey Kong 64)
Lifelight (Smash Ultimate)
Psycho Soldier (JP version)(Smash Ultimate)
Go! Go! Steel Titan! (Live A Live)

Okay instead of going for the easy answer, I'm going to put some actual effort into my post this time.

To follow up on my comment about the soundtrack from Metal Gear Rising, all of the vocal tracks are bangers. But this is the one I probably gravitate the most towards.

But this track from Battlefield 1 probably has to be my favorite vocal song in any video game I've ever heard. This purely vocal choir piece is a good mix of feeling both eerie and somber to set the mood.

If we're going for songs that include any and all kinds of vocals, I guess another track that I think deserves to be mentioned would be this piece from Sonic Rush which famously samples a Malcolm X speech.

The Sonic Rush one is great.

I love when video games use samples from actual recordings.

Aero Fighters 2 used a actual Robin Williams soundclip from Good Morning Vietnam.

Jet Set Radio Future likewise also used Malcolm X.

Pizza Tower remixed a Van and Schenck 1920 song After You Get What You Want, You Don't Want It.

And here's bit of a morbid one, The House of the Dead used actual sound clips from the 1986 Challenger Disaster.

The kiss of Death from Guilty Gear Strive

Sonic CD also sampled a lot for it's Japanese soundtrack. Stardust Speedway's Present and Bad Future music is almost entirely drum beats and riffs sampled from pre-existing songs and Stardust Speedway Bad Future even samples Jocelyn Brown's "Love's Gonna Get You", one of the most sampled songs of the 80's with the sample used in Sonic CD also being the sample used in SNAP!'s "The Power", although very sped up.

This webpage has a list of Sample's used in the JP/EU soundtrack, as well as a list of times it was sampled by someone else.

As for my favorite vocal song from a videogame? There's a lot that I enjoy and I could never pick a favorite, but I'd feel bad if I didn't mention "In The Zone" from Ace Combat X2: Joint Assault. The entire song oozes the year 2009, you can't get more 2009 than this song.

Does this count too?
