Happy ducks on the NES music day

After putting together 15 game music Fridays over the past 5 months or so, you might think that we're beginning to run out of ideas for mostly regular feature. Well, you'd be wrong. Our imagination for this kind of thing knows no limits. You give us three random video game music videos from YouTube and we will manage to connect them in some semi-coherent way to make a passable music day theme because that's what we get paid for, dammit!With that in mind, please enjoy some YouTube videos featuring music from NES games that featured ducks. Including:
- A suitably digital-sounding version of the Duck Tales theme
- A surprisingly competent, jazzy tune from Darkwing Duck
- A death metal anthem based around Duck Hunt. Yes, Duck Hunt.

thats not death metal. that isnt even metal at all.

That is in no way Death Metal.
WTF is up with Joystiq and hating Metal and Rock music in general? Every video featuring rock or metal is automatically labelled "Noise".
Its really making me sick.

The second guy looks like Esqueleto from Nacho Libre except Esqueleto is much cooler.

Here is an example of actual death metal :

I don't really care if you don't like it or if you don't even understand why some people appreciate it, but at least you'll know what "death metal" refers to.

I'm sorry, but, without anything against metal/hardrock/whatever that last vid was noise/utter crap as music.
vid number 2 was pretty good though i just dont like that guy for some reason
