Um Jammer Lammy

FROM: SCEA

BEHIND THE MUSIC: Spin-off of popular PaRappa the Rapper series which introduced fans to Lammy, lamb guitarist of band MilkCan, who — with the aid of well-timed key presses — must jam her way to a gig she's late for.

WHY IT ROCKS: Exhibited how the basic rhythm game formula was easily transportable between musical genres, opening the door for punk, pop, rap and metal to later join the soiree.
