Wintergreen -"When I Wake Up"

I know this came out in 2006, but I was talking about it with someone the other day and thought I'd post it.

Here's a neat music video that tells the story of what is probably still the most enduring video game urban myth of all time. Technically, the information in the text in the video is true, but the whole "going out into the desert with shovels" is not something that can be done in real life, since the cartridges were destroyed before being confined to the landfill.

In any case, it's whimsical and a fun little reminiscence. It says, "If you blow into an Atari cartridge, even 20 years worth of sand and grit won't keep it from playing again!"
