Mario Bros. Songs
 

My son (8 years old now) is a huge fan of the whole Mario Bros. universe. And he also enjoys parodies and covers. So far I have:



Yes, the death metal is fine. However, I consider this one inappropriate for him (but still good):


So, I'm looking for your help. What clean songs based on Mario do you know?

Ideally, what would you be more keen to being exposed to, RedLemon? - original, parodied compositions, (which features witty lyrics) or actual game clips (which, at times, can be prone to featuring bleeps and bloops.)

True BGM and OST tracks from the official Mario Universe(s) are really nice starters and soothers (which can range from 8-bit Gameboy white noise melodies, to mostly instrumental piano and orchestral pieces of the overworld/underworld/boss stages).

I also have a few videos/tunes that I have featured (and others which are still wasting away within my queue) in The MK topic.

I'm not sure if I can recommend alternative websites/forums, but I first have to find it (a specific site that houses a huge library of video game music, which name escapes me at the moment).


Two 1-Ups to give you: I'd search for Closer (to Mario) for a NIN-styled remix to the Library of Congress-preserved Reznor piece (obviously unofficial; also, it's not ground-breaking or anything, nor am I aware if the lyrics are clean, but for a 7-12 kid, I think it's an entertaining tune).

Last one for now:
This was apparently stuffed way down in my notes; I'm not sure if I have shared it yet. (yikes; it's quite impressive)

Parodies are good. Covers that are uptempo and/or particularly interesting are good. Actual game music, not interested, he gets that enough through the games.

In fact, I already have that in my collection, back when I was trying to collect every version of NIN's Closer. Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure "I want to fuck you like an animal" defines "inappropriate lyrics".
That's perfect.

It took awhile, but it seems I did not have this song in my notes.
I had forgotten, initially, to what it pertained, but I think I found its premise again.

(Honestly, this rap is superb. I'm kinda bummed out, though, that it took me half-a-year, or more, after I first heard it, to share it again.)


And in my eight minute search for the above, I also uncovered this gem:
(general audience intended)

Hmm, rap doesn't really interest me unless it is really funny.

Redlemon, I don't have any links to add, I just wanted to say that third video you posted was hilarious.
