For those of you that don't know Donkey Konga is a videogame whereby you have these bongos that plug in and you bongo to the beat of whatever tune is playing. Great. But does this tracklisting strike anyone as a bit odd?

Wha? and is that Coldplay's "Trouble"? Isn't that song really quite slow? And "Enjoy the Silence"?
All very "Credible", but am I wrong or is this not the kind of thing people tend to choose for parties? I'm not knocking it. It's great. A really rounded selection. I just wasn't expecting it.
I think I read something in EGM not too long ago about how the soundtrack to this game was weird. I also heard that it was addictive and fun, too. But I've never played it, and perhaps I never will..
