"Name of the Game" is the sixth track from power pop band Badfinger's 1971 album, Straight Up. The song was written by Pete Ham.
Background
After the release of their album No Dice, Badfinger began work on an untitled follow-up.Geoff Emerick produced sessions for the songs that were to be on the album, among them being "Name of the Game". "Name of the Game" was also intended to be released as the lead single from this album, backed with "Suitcase", a track written by Joey Molland, but, despite efforts from George Harrison (who was impressed greatly by the track) to remix the song, the single, as well as the rest of the album, were canceled. This single edit appeared on some reissues of Straight Up.
When George Harrison returned to produce a new album for Badfinger, one of the songs that he worked on was "Name of the Game". However, upon his departure due to The Concert for Bangladesh, Todd Rundgren came to finish the album. Upon its completion, the album, now titled Straight Up, featured "Name of the Game" at the end of side one.
"Name of the Game" is the first single to originate from The Crystal Method's second studio album, Tweekend. Despite the massive popularity of the song, The Crystal Method almost never plays it live. The track features guitars by Tom Morello, vocals by Ryan "Ryu" Maginn, and scratching by DJ Swamp; it also contains samples from "Calling All Freaks"(1974) by Tina Dixon. The song enjoyed mainstream success as well as remixes by popular artists.
Music video
A music video was made, featuring the exploits of the character "Nosey", who is named so because his entire face is covered up by a giant nose. Scenes in the video depict Nosey participating in sports, breakdancing, and a relationship that falls apart quickly. He gets back to his friends to breakdance and they get to do some until the police arrive and arrest him for unknown reasons. At the end of the video, the words "to be continued ..." are shown. However, no known continuation of the "Nosey" story has yet to be produced. Nosey does however make a brief appearance in the music video "murder"
Jayceon Terrell Taylor (born November 29, 1979), better known by his stage name The Game (or simply Game), is an American rapper and actor. Game is best known as a rapper in the West Coast hip hop scene, and for being one of Dr. Dre's most notable protégés. Born in Los Angeles, California, he released his first mixtape You Know What It Is Vol. 1 in 2002, and landed a record deal with the independent label Get Low Recordz owned by JT the Bigga Figga. The Game's mixtape reached the hands of Sean Combs, founder of Bad Boy Records, who originally was on the verge of signing him to his label. Five months later, he was discovered by Dr. Dre who listened to the mixtape and signed him to his Aftermath Entertainment label in 2003. He rose to fame in 2005 with the success of his debut album The Documentary (2005) and Doctor's Advocate (2006). The Recording Industry Association of America certified his album The Documentary double platinum in March 2005 and it has sold over five million copies worldwide.
24: The Game is a third-person shooter video game, based on the FOX television series, 24. The game was developed by Sony Computer Entertainment's Cambridge Studios and was published by 2K Games for PlayStation 2. It was announced on March 30, 2005 and was released in North America exclusively on February 27, 2006. The player controls many characters from the television series at different points in the game. The missions in the game involve elements of third-person shooter, driving and puzzle games. The musical score was composed by Sean Callery, while the script was written by Duppy Demetrius and the series production team.
24: The Game makes extensive use of actors' voices and likenesses from the TV series, as well as using a script and music score from the same production team. Casting and voice production for 24: The Game were organized and handled by Blindlight. The events contained in the game are set in Los Angeles between the second and third seasons of the show. The story features three plotlines that overlap around a character from Jack Bauer's past named Peter Madsen. Although the game received a mixed reception from critics, it received a BAFTA award nomination for its screenplay elements.

No one believes me Someone conceived me A fluke in the night of obscurity Played by millions simulcast by a few A city no lights such a great view It's all very strange it's the name of the game (Chorus 1) It's all the same it's never gonna change It's the name of the game Over and over and over again Time after time after time Over and over and over again Love is the name of the game Come around and see me analyze or analogy I'll give you a clue what you really need If things get bad then things can get worse Remember ";Surrender"; remember the verse It's all very strange it's the name of the game It's all the same it's never gonna change It's the name of the game Over and over and over again Time after time after time Over and over and over again Love is the name of the game I say hold on tight Say hey you're doin' it right As I wish for a full dream flight Night after night I'm a knight Over and over and over and over and over and over again Time after time after time Over and over and over and over Love is the name of the game And then it came to me It's just a game to me
