I listened to this song for a good ten years making great inside joke references with friends about the fact it's a song written around a video game in the vane of a Broadway musical. It seems this B side tune by Jellyfish had some loyal lovers of unique and fun stories because after playing this song to my boys, I should have known that one day they'd search it out on YouTube. I never thought there could be a video, after all the band broke up in the early 1990's.
Here is the deal. It's a song based on the Nintendo characters King Bowser Koopa, Princess Toadstool, and Mario & Luigi. It's sung from the perspective of King Bowser Koopa. He's monologing to Princess Toadstool his master plan. It's just good fun. The video is a good representation of the story. It could be better, but at least it's out there for us all to enjoy.

And if you're listening up there... you could consider this a prayer...
Once again Paddy McCloon thoughtfully protests to God in heaven. But for me, when this song came out I had a blast with it. I was married. My eldest son was just a little one, and my youngest - just a baby. My wife would come in and one would be upset and the other started balling. I'd laugh. She'd be stressed but I'd be amused. The words to this song came to mind and I'd just blurt them out in laughter... "Once more the sound of crying - is number one across the Earth!" So as you listen to this tune. Imagine if you have kids how when they cry, you just have tell them. "Once more the sound of crying is number one across the Earth." Because if you are a parent, you gotta know, sometimes the tears just come. Usually because a little one has decided they want something they can't have or just want a bottle. Call me silly. It's just how I handled it. Hey, my kids don't cry now. I think they turned out just fine. ;) As for the song.... Great message too. I wonder if God hears all of Paddy's commentary in music.

The answer is simple. It's to protect the privacy of friends. I'm not a narcissist. LOL  ABOUT THE AUTHOR Lars Hindsley is a self-employed single full time father, a writer, a non conservative Republican, a reformed idealist (a compromisationalist), ex-musician, God fearing cynic that could more easily be described in two words as a "Rugged Intellectual". Lars writings range from "how to" articles to commentaries and advice. You'll find movie reviews and video picks of the day side by side with serious writings. Lars offers perspective from an Anglo-Christian moral position while never lording over anyone unlike himself. Lars is of the opinion that if you are going to complain, you should offer a solution. His perspective on the world is that many of us fight societal evolution to frustrating ends without a genuine understanding of what it is we are all up against. Reading his articles should provide you with positive energy towards living out your day. You may not be able to change the world but you can navigate it to live a rich and rewarding life. Enjoy Lars’ works, there are years of writings to choose from.     Recent Photos
