Super Mario. Without Instruments.

There is one area of collegiate a cappella that I don't quite understand. And it's the reproduction of classic video game music in concert. Sure, there's a kitsch factor. (And who doesn't love kitsch?) But five minutes of 'Super Mario Brothers?' On stage? Really?

Please use the comments section below to explain!

Herein, a selection from YouTube.

A Nintendo medley:


'Super Mario Brothers'


'Tetris'


'The Legend of Zelda'

    Agreed. Strange. And yet I'm pretty sure the Nintendo footage got more hits on youtube than any other college a cappella clip (until December's 12 days of Chrismas phenom). So, somehow, it's proving oddly compelling to millions of viewers. With too much time on their hands.
