Saints Row 4 was already pretty high on my list of things I absolutely have to own. While the demo version I played had some lackluster moments, the promise of a more absurdly tuned version of Saints Row: The Third is more than enough to keep me interested. That anticipation has now risen to near-unbearable levels, thanks to the revelation that the game has The Safety Dance on its soundtrack. Also some songs that aren't The Safety Dance, if you can bring yourself to care about those.

The juxtaposition of the entirety of The Mix's playlist against the game's guns-and-dildos action is just going to be sublime/ridiculous. And the inclusion of 'I Don't Want to Miss a Thing' is a sure sign that the song's destined to be played over a slo-mo cutscene of something idiotic. Games are brilliant.
You can find more on the soundtrack, including a developer overview of the reasoning behind each station, over at Complex Gaming .
