This week, developer Grasshopper Manufacture celebrates the tenth anniversary of Lollipop Chainsaw for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, along with the game score composed by Akira Yamaoka.

Lollipop centers on chainsaw-wielding San Romero High School cheerleader Juliet Starling. The protagonist's boyfriend Nick, reduced to a reanimated severed head by a zombie attack, tags along as Juliet staves off marauding armies of the undead.

The curated soundtrack album "Lollipop Chainsaw: Music From The Video Game" includes "Zombie Tackle," "Mirrorball Madhouse" and other themes composed by Yamaoka. The digital album⁠—streaming on YouTube Music, Spotify and Amazon Music Unlimited⁠—includes several licensed songs, such as "Lollipop" by The Chordettes and "Pac Man Fever" by Buckner & Garcia.
