This is old hat for some people, but just thought I'd like to mention.
In Eiffel 65's song 'my console' which was a minor hit for them, they list all the major Playstation 1 games including ODDWORLD!
"Tekken 3, metal gear solid
Resident evil, gran turismo, omega boost,
Bloody roar, x-files, all over the world
Come on
Ridge racer
Odd world
Winning Eleven
The game on the playstation"
The same band also made a song called "Blue (da ba dee da ba di)". Abe is blue! (I know that's a kind of lame point to make but it's probably a co-incidence!)
Have you heard Oddworld namedropped into any other song or game?
