* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQTk4eK2fP4 The theme song]] for ''VideoGame/{{Bugsnax}}'', performed by Music/KeroKeroBonito, basically tells you all you need to know about the gameplay, story and what Bugsnax are.
-->Kinda bug and kinda snak\\
Try to catch them in your trap\\
Feed somebody and you'll see we are whatever we eat!\\
Find them hiding in the sand\\
Tearin' up a ketchup patch\\
Come to Snaktooth Island and discover: It's Bugsnax!

The Jackbox section was approaching half the page length, so I split it.


* Several games in ''VideoGame/TheJackBoxPartyPack'' have a song explaining the game's premise that plays over the credits:
** ''Trivia Murder Party'' has a darkly-humorous "Monster Mash"-esque rock song playing over the credits.
--->''It's a Trivia Murder Party\\
And I'm your crazy host\\
You better answer carefully\\
Or get turned into a ghost!''
** The sequel, ''Trivia Murder Party 2'', uses a melancholy 80s pop-rock ballad as its end credits theme.
--->''Trivia Murder Party\\
And I'm filled with dread\\
If I can’t answer these questions\\
I’m gonna wake up dead\\\
Trivia Murder Party\\
In this murder hotel\\
I thought this was a vacation\\
But it’s a trip to hell!''
** ''Civic Doodle'' has a goofy, bouncy song sung by Doodle Valley's eccentric Mayor, full of scatting and awkward lyrics.
--->''Civic Doodle, Civic Doodle\\
Just find a blank wall, 'cause you're gonna have a ball\\
Once you start to play this game\\\
Civic Doodle, three piece suit-le\\
Put on a tie and a vest, 'cause you gotta look your best\\
If you're gonna doodle with me!''
** ''Push the Button!'' has a synth-lounge theme song that wouldn't sound out of place in a 70s sci-fi movie.
--->''Push the Button, everyone\\
Once you've caught the aliens\\
You must perform the test to find out who is who\\
Whether you die or you survive, it's up to you''
** ''Joke Boat'''s theme song is a pastiche of Music/JimmyBuffett, appropriate for a game that takes place on a cruise ship.
--->''Joke Boat, settin’ sail for the open sea\\
Joke Boat, who’s funnier, you or me?\\
Joke Boat, get the crowd on your side and you might win\\
If you make ‘em laugh then you’ll know that your ship has come in''
** ''Dictionarium'' has the hostess singing a silly PatterSong about the game over the credits.
--->'''The game that you are playing, well, it causes much hilarium\\
You make up silly words and phrases ending in hysterium\\
You have to answer quickly, no you really mustn't tarry-um\\
And anybody can compete, a Tom, a Dick, a Harry-um\\
So gather in the living room, pull up a stool or chair-ium\\
With lots of foods and beverages like milk or juice or barium\\
Then start to make your crazy words and don't forget to vary 'em\\
And that is how you win at Dictionarium!''
** ''The Devils And The Details'' notably has its theme song play ''before'' the actual game, since the FramingDevice involves a sitcom about devils living on Earth like a normal suburban family.
--->''They came from down below\\
To a modest bungalow\\
Trying to fit in with the herd''

--->''Pitchforks in the pool (impropriety!)\\
Life on Earth is full (of anxiety!)\\
All these human chores are absurd (every day is a blur)''

--->''Housework, jobs, and school\\
This daily torture's cruel\\
Still each week they jump into the fray\\
The Devils and the details every day!''
