Scat, Mario, scat!
As promised:
I got these little gems from my friend Petie. They came after a week of me and my sister in law singing as much Super Mario Brothers ditties as we could remember. The music is just oddly good, a fact other game developers tend to forget when doing other scores and forcing me to mute the TV and put on some real music.
And these, uh, non electronic performances are just… WORDS FAIL ME!The Big Band of Rogues (Tokyo Cuban Boys Jr.), Shigeo Nukita – SUPER MARIO Bros. 3 Ending Theme
The Big Band of Rogues (Tokyo Cuban Boys Jr.), Seiko – MARIO Scat Version
Wow, that’s an expensive CD. Lovely music, though, and I never would have heard it otherwise.
cd japan has it for about half that price (it’s expensive since it’s an import, but i’ve found things through there consistently cheaper than amazon.com)
