More Nintendo trivia for you. Did you know the Super Mario Bros. theme has lyrics? Of course, the theme is apparently called "Go Go Mario" and is originally in Japanese but lucky for us the poster of the video above was kind enough to include both the Japanese and English lyrics.
The video clip was taken from the "Mario and Zelda Big Band live" concert that was held on September 14th, 2003 at the Nihon Seinenkan Hall in Tokyo, Japan. The clip was part of a mini-DVD that came with a UK Gamecube magazine.
Hit the jump for the English lyrics and for the real Mario lover's out there, I want to see an audio or video clip of you singing the English version of the song.
Thanks James for the tip!
Go Go Mario
Today, full of energy, Mario is still running, running Go save Princess Peach! Go! Today, full of energy, Mario runs Today, full of energy, jumping! Today, full of energy, searching for coins Today, keep going, Mario!
Get a mushroom - it's Super Mario! Get a flower - it's Fire Mario!
Goomba! Troopa! Buzzy Beetle! Beat them all! Mario is always full of energy and strong!
[Spoken] The only one who can reverse the spell that has captured the Mushroom People is Princess Peach. But Princess Peach is hidden underground, in a far-off castle. Ah, the days of peace... if we could once more return to those days... to save Princess Peach and bring peace back to the Mushroom Kingdom, that is why Mario is on his journey today.
Today, full of energy, Mario is still running, running Go and beat the Koopa tribe, go! Today, full of energy, Mario runs Today, full of energy, jumping! Today, full of energy, searching for coins Today, keep going, Mario!
Get a star - become invincible! Quickly, go save Princess Peach!
Lakitu! Blooper! Cheep Cheep! Beat them all! Mario is always full of energy and strong!
Today, full of energy, Mario is still running, running He's made it to the castle and gets fireworks! Lightly sidestepping the Hammer Bros. Show the last of your power, Mario! It's been a long journey but it's nearly at an end You've done it, you've done it! You've defeated Bowser!
Princess Peach says "Thank you" Mario's got a great big heart!
Mario's adventure is over for now, but Mario's dream lives forever...
The original song was made as NES game music, so they probably didn't intend to have lyrics for it, but when the song grew to such popularity they made up some lyrics to go along with it.
I was under the impression that the Super Mario Bros. theme lyrics included such concepts as "swinging your arms from side to side" and that you had to "take one step, and then again".
Damn it Shawn you beat me to it. Oh well, here goes anyway.
Of course it has words. This is how it goes:
Swing your arms
from side to side
Let’s do the Mario!
All together now
Swing your arms
from side to side
Let’s do the Mario!
All together now
Just—like—that
Seriously man Capt Lou should have jumped on that stage swinging his arms side to side in that hot chicks face, those lyrics are sacreligious to those who are Hooked on the brothers....the brothers......the brothers.
