A song off Gorillaz's second album, Demon Days (or "Daemon Days"), which is narrated by Dennis Hopper. It is more of a story with music playing than a song. Either way, it is an entertaining tale of greedy invaders mining a once peaceful island.
Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head, by Gorillaz.
(Dennis Hopper)
Once upon a time at the foot of a great mountain, there was a town where the people known as Happyfolk lived, their very existence a mystery to the rest of the world, obscured as it was by great clouds. Here they played out their peaceful lives, innocent of the litany of excess and violence that was growing in the world below. To live in harmony with the spirit of the mountain called Monkey was enough. Then one day Strangefolk arrived in the town. They came in camouflage, hidden behind dark glasses, but no one noticed them: they only saw shadows. You see, without the Truth of the Eyes, the Happyfolk were blind.

Falling out of aeroplanes and hiding out in holes
Waiting for the sunset to come, people going home
Jump out from behind them and shoot them in the head
Now everybody dancing the dance of the dead,
the dance of the dead,
the dance of the dead
(Dennis Hopper)
In time, Strangefolk found their way into the higher reaches of the mountain, and it was there that they found the caves of unimaginable Sincerity and Beauty. By chance, they stumbled upon the Place Where All Good Souls Come to Rest. The Strangefolk, they coveted the jewels in these caves above all things, and soon they began to mine the mountain, its rich seam fueling the chaos of their own world. Meanwhile, down in the town, the Happyfolk slept restlessly,
their dreams invaded by shadowy figures digging away at their souls. Every day, people would wake and stare at the mountain. Why was it bringing darkness into their lives? And as the Strangefolk mined deeper and deeper into the mountain, holes began to appear, bringing with them a cold and bitter wind that chilled the very soul of them up. For the first time, the Happyfolk felt fearful for they knew that soon the Monkey would soon stir from its deep sleep. And then came a sound. Distant first, it grew into castrophany so immense it could be heard far away in space. There were no screams. There was no time. The mountain called Monkey had spoken. There was only fire. And then, nothing.

O little town in U.S.A, your time has come to see
There's nothing you believe you want
But where were you when it all came down on me?
Did you call me now

A form of error message on the Xbox 360. The Red Ring of Death replaces the Ring of Light, the green circle surrounded the power button. The red lights indicate a sort of error message and the number of lights and placement of them mean different things. The worst would be three lights flashing, with the top-right not illuminated. In this situation, it means the 360 is suffering hardware failure.
Comparable to the Blue Screen of Death.

Not the red ring of death! Crud, according to the online instructions I need to send my 360 in for repairs.

An adjective used by James Lipton in X-Entertainment's Advent Calendar series, roughly meaning very good, exciting, astounding, etc. It is (apparently) a mixture of remarkable and tremendous or stupendous.
MISTA SNOWMAN: ...and then, at the end of the show, there's this big storm, and things are looking pretty grim... ...UNTIL RUDOLPH SAVES CHRISTMAS WITH HIS BIG SHINY NOSE! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SHIT?
JAMES LIPTON: NO I cannot believe that shit! Simply remarkablous -- I would not mind hearing that story again!

It is a somewhat old fashioned way of saying "just kidding." It sounds more Shakespearean than "jk d00000d."
Person A: Bitch, I'll kick your ass!
Person B: *Gasp* You have such a sailor mouth!
Person A: What the motherf**k??
Person B: Har har, I kid, you old sea dog!
Person A: Har har har har!

When playing an RPG, "working on" it means that a player is currently playing it with the intent of beating the game, unlocking everything, etc. Basically a fancy way of saying "playing."
I was working on FFX-2 during the beginning of this year, then Golden Sun, then Tales of Symphonia, and now Star Ocean Till the End of Time.
