Idea Oddworld in the Eiffel 65 'My Console' song

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?

I believe Pugsli intoned a quant ditty regarding the exploits of Abe.

It's a pity it's a bad song. EDIT: In my opinion.

Thanks for that link BM. I'd forgotten about those!

Ok that's a little weird! xD I've been listening to both songs all day and yesterday eversince I found them on Grooveshark, and now I find a thread about them?

I was listening to the songs as I was drawing a pic of Abe(seen in my art thread).
And now, I'm Blue gave me an idea for a pic.

But besides the two songs, I haven't found or listened to anything else that mentions Abe or Oddworld.

I don't see many Oddworld references. But I tend to see hints of Oddworld in any steampunk series, such as 9 (film) or Fallout 3. The robots with the red eyes do remind me of them. Anyone else think the robot in District 9 looks like a Big Bro Slig?

Do you mean the one Vickers (I think his name is) is in at the end? Yes I thought that a bit
