I watched Chappie this week, thought it was a good film. There is this South African band that guest starred in it called Die Antwoord, and they sound like a band straight out of Wipeout. And I was thinking, if they made another Wipeout game(very unlikely) what would you think if Die Antwoord were in it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMK0prafzw0 Other likely candidates for the soundtrack should include Rob Zombie(Superbeast is an amazing Wipeout style song, despite featuring in Twisted Metal 3). Overseer and Fatboy Slim is likely as well. What do you think about Die Antwoord creating songs specifically for Wipeout? Just imagine it. Eh?

Wipeout soundtracks are strictly lyricless, they even have special mixes to remove the singer's voice, for example in WO2097 Fluke's Atom Bomb.
If however they made instrumental versions of their songs, maybe...

Really? I remember a few songs in HD Fury having lyrics. (eg. Le Night Dominator, Aerodynamik)

Saying one or two words doesn't make a song have lyrics. I'm talking about most of the song revolving about someone singing, not some random voice sample that's repeated throughout the song.
For example in Aerodynamik:
Original:

Wipeout Remix:

Notice the lack of lyrics?

Ok, maybe Aerodynamik was a bad example, but what about Le Night Dominator?

There's just a woman saying "Waa(?) It's me, le night dominator". That's hardly lyrics. Lyrics have the same structure as any other musical instrument in a song, they have choruses and verses.
Basically:
-A song has someone singing for the most part and the phrases are unique to a certain point: lyrics
-A song has a short vocal sample that repeats itself throughtout the song: not lyrics

Well to me they're still technically lyrics so whatever.
