Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think they're OK
If they don't give me proper credit, I just walk away
They can beg and they can plead
But they can't see the light (that's right, that's right)
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash is always Mister Right

'Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

Some boys romance, some boys slow dance
That's all right with me
If they can't raise my interest, then I have to let them be
Some boys try, and some boys lie
But I don't let them play (no way, no way)
Only boys that save their pennies make my rainy day

'Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world

Boys may come, and boys may go
And that's all right, you see
Experience has made me rich, and now they're after me

'Cause everybody's living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

A material, a material, a material, a material world

Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world

Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world

One of my favorite games of all time, i played this SO much my lower screen had circle marks on it. The music is good, the presentation is charming, and playing it on a DS is the best way to experience it. Emulators don't do it justice, and playing OSU is just not the same at all, i will trade the unlimited songs it has for EBA (and the two DS Osu games) for it anytime without hesitation.

I used to play it and the osu games on a flashcard until my ds broke, luckly i managed to find an used copy years later and i can play it on my 3DS. I'm a little rusty but i can still beat hard rock.

Wife’s Reaction:
“So they lip sync to the hits and gyrate, and that somehow saves the day? Okay then.”

Agents are... TRY AGAIN!!:
I didn’t like Elite Beat Agents when I gave it a go back in 2019 so I tried again. The coreof it all—the comic scenes and the music—are why you should take the time to play. Yet the track list is small, and though it has variety it lacks cohesion. I also don’t find the gameplay itself particularly compelling.

A very fun rhythm game on the DS, which nowadays is compared to another rhythm game, 'Osu!', that looks interesting to me. The plot is very humorous with the power of music that only the EBA can use to fix problems, but it's pushed as a side aspect. The music was all licensed music which was a breath of fresh air for all the rhythm games I have played so far, which was amazing. They had songs like 'Sk8er Boi', 'YMCA', 'I Was Born to Love You', 'September' and many more which is fun.

I don't understand why this is in the Touch! Generations lineup of games for the DS, maybe because of the music? Idk, but it's very replayable. Definitely wouldn't mind trying to play the game again in a higher difficulty, for sure.

This game is so iconic. It's Osu but with a story and charm and fantastic maps on a fantastic music selection. It introduced me to Canned Heat, one of my favorite Jamiroquai songs. There's everything to love here and honestly? Nothing to hate. It either is for you or isn't, but it can't be denied that what it does, it does well.

I stopped playing before I got to the hardest mode and I don't really have the time to get back up to where I was again, and that might be one of my biggest gaming regrets honestly. For experienced Osu players it might be a bit of a bore, but for casuals like me it's a fun gauntlet with a rewarding challenge spike!

Stupidly fun game. Charming, hilarious, with a great visual direction, and some great songs chosen too. And the covers are pretty well done too.

I played this first as a kid, and yeah, I loved it just as much back then. Also it introduced me to just about every song in this game, which is cool.

I think my only real complaint is that some of the charting feels a little bit wrong in places, or at least, I couldn't tell what part of the song was being charted. But for the most part it was really solid. I guess it's also really short (~2 hours), but given the whole experience that this is, I'm more than happy with what we got. Really fun game, would highly recommend.

Elite Beat Agents is such a special game. I don't think I'd be able to conceptualize a more peculiar amalgam of story scenarios and song choices if I tried - but that's really its magic. EBA has a lot of fun with its own premise, and packs a lot of truly frantic energy into its fairly dynamic rhythm gameplay. As Yano has said, this game really does harmonize with its hardware incredibly well to best utilize the DS. The difficulty spike at the end doesn't play nicely with the sometimes overly-cluttered Touch Screen, but this game is as memorable as it is short (very)!
