Mario in the Bario

An online collaboration between myself and a mate who lives in California, and goes by the name DJ Hi-Speed.

Backbeat and tune is from Mario (of course), produced by me, and the scratching vocals are Hi-Speed's.

I dig very much. I'll listen to anything with scratching.

Sorry, Mario, but the princess is in another castle!

And this tune is now on my iPhone.

My head is bobbing like one of those little dogs with its head on a spring that you used to see in the back windows of automobiles. I love scratching, too.

Once upon a time, a friend of mine worked out the original Mario theme and we recorded to a MIDI track, and when I got bored, I'd rework it; by the end, there was a standard version, a blues version (in a minor key), a polka version, an Imperial March version, an electronic version, and a couple others. This reminds me of those, but this is cooler. Thank you.
