I just realized that "Running With The Night" by Lionel Richie is in fact about Shadowrun. This means that you can cue it as a musical interlude during your shadowrun games. This will bring the power of the 80s into the game, which means you'll need to deploy ninjas and elves with mullets. Lyrics from http://www.lyricscafe.com/r/richie_lionel/lr011.htm I have bolded the parts that pertain to Shadowrun; my comments are in italics.

I feel strange and oddly dirty after contemplating the above.

Hmmm... This is more disturbing than I thought.
An exhaustive search of the internet has lead me to a vital fact: Running with the Night was realeased in 1983. SR in 1989. This means that SR is infact a scifi/fantasy RPG based on a Lionel Richie song!!!! oh the horror!!! :shock: |

I would say that Bad Religion has a lot props from me when it comes down to getting the mood of Shadowrun down.
Then you have DK a whole lot of punk, and stuff... |

Guns 'N Roses works well too, for getting some Shadowrun mood going.

Eh... If you're using Pat Benatar for a run, the you've got to use "Invincible". |

Kidney Theives is what we play during SR. That and any kind of ambient techno.
Also 80 electronica works well. KMFDM etc. |

Yes, I gained my musical tastes in the '80s, and oh boy, was Tiffany a hottie back then! |

She was definitely cute, but she couldn't write to save her life. Of course, the original is from '67, by Tommy James and the Shondells. :D |

One that always freaked me out was the beginning of Queen's Another One Bites the Dust:
Steve walks warily down the street, with the brim pulled way down low Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet, machine guns ready to go Are you ready, Are you ready for this Are you hanging on the edge of your seat Out of the doorway the bullets rip To the sound of the beat |
