SING!! Sega Game Music Presented by B.B. Queens is a hybrid Sega Mega-CD/soundtrack album consisting of rearranged theme music from various Sega games, arranged by Masao Akashi and performed by Japanese music group B.B. Queens, most notable for encoding the Sega Mega Drive game Teddy Boy Blues as its first audio track (allowing the game to be played by inserting the album into a Mega-CD), and for featuring the theme song of the unreleased Sonic the Hedgehog game SegaSonic Bros..

SING!! Sega Game Music Presented by B.B. Queens is a hybrid Sega Mega-CD/music album; the disc's first track is encoded not with audio, but instead an entire Mega Drive game: Teddy Boy Blues. A port of the titular 1985 Sega System 1 arcade game Teddy Boy Blues, it was previously released exclusively on the Mega Drive's Sega Game Toshokan online game service, and is notably presented here alongside the original 1985 pop single which the original game is themed around, Teddy Boy Blues. Additionally, the song is used as the first choice of selectable background music during gameplay, finally allowing Teddy Boy Blues to be played with the music it was originally associated with.

SegaSonic Bros.

The song "Funky Brothers" was intended to be the image song (the Western equivalent to a theme song) for the upcoming Sega System C2 arcade puzzle game SegaSonic Bros.; the project was far enough in development to both receive numerous location tests, and to have "Funky Brothers" published on an officially Sega-licensed soundtrack release (although purposefully misattributed to a different game entirely.) Ultimately, the game was never released, and the song was never properly attributed to being Sonic-related until the modern era, when a prototype of the game was dumped in 2016 and subsequently leaked two years later.

-'''''SING!! Sega Game Music presented by B.B. Queens''''' is an album of [[Sega Mega Drive]] and [[Mega CD]] music as covered by the Japanese pop group B.B.Queens. The album was arranged by Masao Akashi and performed by Yuko Tsubokura, Keiko Utoku, Yuichii Ikusawa, Maki Ohguro, Fusanosuke Kondou, Seiichiroh Kuribayashi, and Keiji Katayama.
-While there's no Sonic-related music, Sonic himself was used in the branding of the album. The first "track" is actually a special version of the game ''[[Teddy Boy Blues]]'' for the Mega CD, and allows the player to choose any of the audio tracks of the album as background music for the game.
