I found this to be a pleasant surprise.
Finally got around to playing Scarface for the Xbox, and was surprised to see a 20/20 song on the soundtrack! I thought it was just going to have rap, latin , & generally kitschy songs on it. One of the high energy songs on the track just makes you instantly want to do aerobics. Considering the game takes place in the 80s, this should be no surprise.
The 20/20 song in question is "Yellow Pills", and lo and behold, it has been sitting on my Itunes library, un-listened to until now.

Very cool. Granted, I don't know that there is a more iconic power pop song than Yellow Pills, so much so that it's the namesake of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Yellow-Pills-Vol-Best-American/dp/B000000IBF/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1244821444&sr=1-2">some seminal comps</a>. But still, awesome.

The Grand Theft Auto series uses a lot of 80's New Wave but it is usually very popular well-known stuff. Still there is an occassional surprise such as "Wow" by Kate Bush.
