This video (below the jump) is so clever that I wish I had thought of doing it. I suppose it's better that someone else did, though, as the growly voice tears up my throat.
Musical great Louis Armstrong didn't really sing this update of "What a Wonderful World," but when you listen, you can almost imagine ol' Louis behind the microphone, puffy cheeks and all. While this rendition is to the tune of "Wonderful World," Louis is singing about the Super Nintnedo classic Super Mario World. And it's hilarious.
...and I think to myself -- Super Mario World.
Before you call "aged," we think that even those that have seen it before will appreciate this soulful, heartfelt reminder of this vintage game and song. I almost cried at the "Yoshi parade" part. Bravo, Brentalfloss.
