Spacebar Arcade is our favorite bar in Boise. A place that has video games AND drinks? That's a nice 2-hit combo right there!
We've been happy patrons for years, and all the people throughout the history of Spacebar have been incredibly gracious to our music and other endeavors. We made this song purely out of our appreciation for the place, and it's long overdue!
Spacebar is the place for Spacebar Fights, a casual event for fighting game fans. They have trivia, pinball and other tournaments, and an incredible team of folks who work their butts off to bring you the best bar experience in Boise.
They've been closed for a year for remodel, but relaunch TODAY, so what better time than now to share our love of Spacebar with the world! Enjoy, and be sure to pay them a visit next time you're in Boise, ID! Play on

lyrics
(Chorus x2)
We stay underground, you keep it over the ground
We can't stand your sound so this is how we get down
at The Arcade Underground
Spacebar, no game cards - let's get this coin baby
(Verse 1 - MCMD)
Welcome to the home base, long walls and stone grates
Hidden away, just follow the lights
Cold drinks on hot nights
If you've come to escape, then I'm thinking you just might fit in
Wanna game? You can get in
A couple quarters for the mission; press start!
Now you've entered the Spacebar
True love at the heart of a Quasar
We play hard! (...we rest harder)
Oh this glass? (...this ain't water)
This party ain't private, you all invited
We Dig Dug but Doug did what I did
Been holding it down since the underground days
With the Thundercat sounds and a robot on stage
It wasn't til now, I could honestly say...welcome to the home base!
(Chorus x2)
We stay underground, you keep it over the ground
We can't stand your sound so this is how we get down
at The Arcade Underground
Spacebar, no game cards - let's get this coin baby
(Verse 2 - DTF)
At the Underground - that's how we get down
My favorite DJs putting it down
FGC giving out pounds
GGs to the strangers coming around from in and out of town
Bring me another round
Best two out of three - whatchu mean you gotta go?
This is the only place to be bro
We go pinballs to the wall
The Atlases guide you back to this
You wannabe Randy Savages act Macho when you're just average
Just like the bars you go to - small like Grogu,
but at Spacebar, we Goku - know what I'm Saiyan?
If you don't, then you Days Inn like the hotel, hm hm, oh well
We keep sleighing like Noel,
and Spacebar is the Gateway to cool - no Dell
(Chorus x2)
We stay underground, you keep it over the ground
We can't stand your sound so this is how we get down
at The Arcade Underground
Spacebar, no game cards - let's get this coin baby
(Verse 3 - DTF)
10 years plus and counting
King of the Hill? Nah, we King of the Mountain
You got a hankering for old games? There's only one place
21+ only, no fakes
(MCMD)
and no frowns, we go down to get down
to get drinks and maybe to face me
at some Mario Kart racing
or more games like board games
or any of the high score games
Smash Bros for some four-play
(DTF)
More days in the week would be so sweet
Imagine 8 days underground with your peeps
Video games, music, good company and drinks
That sounds good to me, don't you think?
(MCMD)
Yeah that sounds good to me, Dave
A dedicated space where we can be safe
See old friends til we can't see straight
and still make it back home before the weekday
(Chorus x2)
We stay underground, you keep it over the ground
We can't stand your sound so this is how we get down
at The Arcade Underground
Spacebar, no game cards - let's get this coin baby
