Cleary the geeks and nerds of the world need an Anthem, so what would it be?

Couple of suggestions:

Still Alive - Glados: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI

White'n'Nerdy - Weird Al: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xEzGIuY7kw

No! There will be no Youtube link hives!
And Geek is not a term that describes the Escapist community. Not completely anyways.
We're Escapists, not Geeks.

Oddly enough Escapist describes me better than geek...
And most Geek Anthems are kinda insulting, and often don't describe those of us who aren't programmers or something like that.

For the geeks (me) both Still Alive and are White'n'Nerdy are great choices.

Don't think you will find the answer in this forum though, apparently escapists aren't geeks.

There was a dance version of All your base belong to us, though thats more of a slogan.

The nerdiest, geekiest, no-social-contact-outside-of-WoW, cheezie-and-energy-drink-consuming, people I know have some weird obsession with The Final Countdown. Personally, I think the Geek Anthem is probably The Imperial March.

What about MC Frontalot?

EDIT: or perhaps Touch by Stan Bush. You know the song I mean, it was used in the 1986 Transformers movie.

I'm a geek by design, but I still enjoy classic rock. It may not suit the rest of you, But Led Zepplin's 'Stairway to Heaven' all the waaaaaaaaaay.

An anthem for all geeks might be the Numa Numa song xD

I think the Pure Pwnage soundtrack pretty much defines gaming pride ;)

"feel like pwning n00bs" the episode 12 edition still sends chills down my spine, partly because it played during the credits of episode 12 season 1, but also because it's a damn good song. That and "I'm a gamer" makes it sound cool to play videogames. Both can be found here: http://www.purepwnage.com/music.html

There can't possibly be a commonly accepted geek national anthem, as geeks specialise in disagreeing on every geek subject known to nerd-kind. Any suggestion would be virulently hated by at least 30% of us.

I think it is time to spring up some awesome wording from scratch. ahem.
________________________________________________________
I am a geek,
I do not play football,
I tend to spend more time on my hobbies than I should,
And that is mmmkay with me, for I've Republic Credits.
Though I walk through fields of viruses and spam,
I have Open source software to protect me.
Plenty of me are here,
Eternally marching on the internet,
Never leaving a topic unanswered,
Giving my life points to a misunderstood culture,
Under pain of internet loss I hold my Geekdom High,
Infinite web pages through which I ride,
Not stopping but for a bathroom break long live the recap.
_____________________________________________________________

Thats all I got.

Nothing shouts "Escapism" quite like Blue Oyster Cult's Take Me Away [http://youtube.com/watch?v=2KhMomocD28].

Personally I think the entire history of geekology should start up whichever MMORPG or FP...or whatnot, with the opening theme from Invader Zim. Might get you in the mood to smash a murloc.

Oh, yeah, it's obscure, about aliens and future technology, needs to be longer though...
What about the first pokemon song? Let me guess, 30% of you dislike pokemon?....-.-

I prefer Stephen Lynch's D&D song. It's pretty much amazing. It's also great fun to play lead over.. if you're a guitarist that is.
