We didn’t have to wait till the Year 3000 to hear Busted’s James Bourne belt out the theme tune for a Sonic the Hedgehog game.
The former Son of Dork singer, who UK readers will remember for his bleached blonde hair and nasal American accent, has been signed by SEGA to sing the opening vocals for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.
It’s awful, in a loveable 90s SEGA sorta way – if this was an old British games mag, they’d definitely describe this genre of music as cock rock.
You can listen to the song above, but be careful – we can’t guarantee it won’t cause serious hearing issues.

My sister loved Busted at the time. She’s 30 now. That probably says it all.
@nessisonett Busted was my guilty pleasure at school.
Am I so out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong.
Fist Bump was bad when they pulled a singer from Hoobastank out and it just didnt work. Same here.
The main vocal theme of Sonic games since 2017 have been....eh....even Team Sonic Racing simply because the lead singer of Crush40 basically broke his voice.
But all the stuff by the other artists around it? Oh hell yes.
If Fist Bump can be redone by Tyler Smyth from Forces, and I'm Here can be redone by Kellin Quinn, then this will be redone by another vocalist on the soundtrack eventually.
That's 2 minutes of my life I won't get back.
50 here love Busted. 😎
I like listening to awful music like this occasionally. It makes good music even better afterwards. Same with Eurovision.
New Fightstar please, no idea what happened with the Busted reunion but Charlie is the only member I remembered until today.
@Coffeeglitch Fightstar will always be my favorite band - the Wembley show was truly special but something tells me we will not be hearing from them anytime soon.
At least we have President? Not Fightstar but great to have Charlie doing something heavier again.
I'll take the theme from chemical plant zone any day over this noise.
I miss Crush 40.
" if this was an old British games mag, they’d definitely describe this genre of music as cock rock." No they wouldn't.. they would describe this as s**t. Jesus I'd rather them have deelite or fat boy slim..
