Super Mario Bros, the Gypsy Jazz Version

By Alex in Music, Toy & Video Games on Nov 6, 2008 at 1:14 pm


Okay, okay – I know a lot of you are tired of the overplayed Mario Bros. theme, but bear with me this one instance.

Adrian Holovaty, one of the lead developers of the Django web framework, stumbled upon VGMix.com, an online community of amateur musicians who make recordings of video game music. Inspired, Adrian then recorded his version of the Super Mario Bros. 2 Level One theme music, in the style of gypsy jazz music of Django Reinhardt.

It’s wonderful, check it out: Link (embedded YouTube clip)

    but that one was awesome! we're only sick of the song from the first mario game because everyone and their grandmother has done something with it. i think the consensus will be that the mario2 song is a-ok.

    Am I alone here? That REALLY reminded me of some of the music from Arrested Development.

    Mmmm. Gypsy Jazz. Makes me want to bust out a copy of Django's music and give it a whirl.

    Not what I expected. I didn't read the entire post and I came back to point out that that was the music from Super Mario Bros 2 :P
