Part of our recyclable Youtube series. I'm sure we all remember the good old days of Mario Bros. The two lovable Italian plumbers are still going today, and there's an awful lot of love for them on Youtube.
Firstly, there's the 'playing the music on weird musical instruments' group of individuals. This ranges from the remote control car and Tesla coils to the more standard instruments such as the violin guy, a capella guy and the double guitar. While not wildly creative, essentially they're just playing the main theme tune on their chosen instrument, they sure are entertaining. Thought has gone in to each one - the double guitar guy must be pretty talented and the remote control car must have taken ages to set up! We don't know much about giant Tesla coils here at Movies, Music and Soap, but we do know they cost a fortune, so the fact that these guys are playing the Mario theme on it is pretty hilarious, all things considered!
Then there's the arrangements. We're not going to focus on any of the dubstep remixes out there, because that's got its own post in the series, but there are some seriously good arrangements and remixes out there. Here are a few for your delight... The Fresh Prince of Bom-Omb Battlefield: while not strictly an arrangement or remix, it's a mashup which is kind of similar, right? Plus, we can't get enough of it. The Mario Elevator Music is also a must-listen! It's an easy listening of one of our favourite pieces of music from the Mario world. There are hundreds of remixes, but we're not convinced by most of them, but this sweet electro one did catch our attention Imagine how great life would be if elevators really did play this?! Lastly, we're going to leave you with a brilliant arrangement of The Smiths' This Charming Man, if it was included in a Mario game.
Finally, Mario Paint could practically be given its own post in this series, but there are some seriously amazing arrangements of music done on Mario Paint and uploaded to Youtube that we simply couldn't ignore it! Our favourite, by far has got to be the 16 minute long homage to the music from The Legend of Zelda, but then we're massive geeks! If you're anything like us, you'll find yourself occupied for the next hour or so, listening to all the Mario Paint songs.
