Consider this today's break from Nintendo's diving profits and Microsoft's faulty 360s.

A friend of mine from high school just directed me to what appears to be a recent talent show performance that was (in modern day fashion) immediately thrown onto Google Video. (His reason for sending it to me was that he thought it beat my team's rendition of Yatta!, which garnered my friends and I some dough our senior year way back when--something I'm not so sure of.)

Anyway, this was a pretty enjoyable nerd uprising when it comes down to two kids going through the entire Mario cache on the xylophone and Toad on drums. Seems like the kids liked it.

Luigi sucks at the marimba.

Luigi sucks at the marimba.

Well, at least now we all know why he's played Second Fiddle to Mario all these years.

Oh God. Sorry.

Oh God. Sorry.

Yeah...You really should be ashamed for that one.

 

[muphins]

That really struck a chord with me.

 

[Fuzzy]

I liked it better than the A Capella one.

Yeah, the A Capella one makes my ears hurt.

 

[ThirstyFly]

Haha. That's awesome. Is there anyway to save google video?

 

[:Motorbass]

Thanks for your interest in Google Video.

Currently, the playback feature of Google Video isn't available in your country.

We hope to make this feature available more widely in the future, and we really appreciate your patience.

PAH! racists!

 

[Juice]

PAH! racists!

Where do you live, Iraq?

 

[:Motorbass]

Germany

^^

 

[dark10x]

Germany

^^

That's...odd.

Why does it even matter where you're located? I don't understand that one at all. Local servers would be faster, of course, but they certainly wouldn't be required. Can't think of any other logical reason...

 

[Waku]

That's...odd.

And so the transformation from Beloved Google Master to Evil Conglomerat Overlord begins.

 

[Kiriku]

Germany

Works for me, but then I live in the incredibly influential and prominent country of Sweden!!!1

 

[:Motorbass]

Hum, I use Firefox, some things don't always work there when they are supposed to be used with IE, but I tried that also... Same message :[

Anyways: Mario on electronic guitar:

[etiolate]

That was awesome.

 

[datruth29]

That seriously put a tear in my eye. God, how I miss a good new mario game. (sniff)

I felt honestly a bit nostalgic myself, at around minute 3 I was bowing down to Kondo-sensei.

 

[djtiesto]

Motorbass - cool icon and did you get your username from the French dance music group (aka Cassius)?

 

[Guzim]

That was great. And I agree, the world needs a new Mario game.

 

[Leatherface]

Wow, that was really well done! Thanks for posting.

 

[:Motorbass]

Thanks, yeah I'm a big fan of French Electronic Music (not so much Trance tho ;]). Grats, you're the 3rd Person online that knows Motorbass :] But they are not the same as Cassius. Only Philippe Zdar is in both groups. Etienne de Crecy is the 2nd guy of Motorbass.

 

[OmniAvenger]

I may weep openly.

Truly inspiring.

*hugs for everyone*

 

[Apenheul]

Thanks Juice, cool video

 

[talking head]

i don't care about the 3dness or high quality textures and shit for Mario on the Revolution, but please please please let it have an 8bit sountrack. that's some totally memorable shit right there.

 

[JRPereira]

Awesomely awesome. Anyone have the source file for that? It's a keeper.

 

[Fuzzy]

Just thought I'd add this here since I saw it on Digg.

don't you love it when the audience begins to clap along, realises they have no sense of rhythm and the clapping slowy begins to fade? :lol

 

[Joseph Merrick]

Hah, I noticed that too.

Mind you, Saline, MI is a very, very, very stereotypical upper middle-class honky white town.
