Now that I've got my own channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/MyGameCompany) on YouTube, I've been poking around, and I came across this cute music video for PopCap's Plants vs. Zombies (http://www.mygamecompany.com/Products/Other/plantsvszombies.htm) game:

The song was written and sung by Laura Shigihara, who also produced the game's music and sound effects.

On her blog (http://shigi.wordpress.com/2009/04/02/sunflower/), she explains how the music video came about:
So about two months ago, after finishing all the in-game music and SFX, I decided that I wanted to make a funny theme song… I thought it would be awesome if the song was basically a dialogue between the Sunflower (the plant I’m holding in this picture) and the Zombies. Once I was finished, I showed George and he said, “hey, let’s make a funny flash video to go along with it!” So Rich flew down for a week, and everyone worked to put that together… it all felt pretty spontaneous, but I’d like to think that the result was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.I agree! Check it out. And if you haven't tried the game yet, give it a go! It's in our catalog here (http://www.mygamecompany.com/Products/Other/plantsvszombies.htm).
This got me thinking - what a great way to get some free publicity for a game!
