It recently came to my attention that some people have not seen the video of a cappella group Redefined of the University of Wisconsin performing a Nintendo medley. The group’s original enhanced CD recently sold for $81 on eBay after a lot of publicity.
The movie features the following songs:
- Mario Bros. “Flag/Stage Clear”
- Super Mario Bros. Main Theme
- Dr. Mario
- Mario Bros. 3
- Mario Bros. “Star”
- Tetris
- Mortal Kombat
- Mario Bros. “Dungeon”
- The Legend of Zelda
- Mario Bros. “Game Over”
The acting and singing is a hilarious combination. Zelda seems to be the crowd favorite. I love it!
Adding an 11 megabyte video object to my post is a new experiment for me. The video loads every time you view my feed in NetNewsWire or view a page containing the post in a web browser such as Safari or Opera. I’ll be watching the bandwidth and appreciate any comments about objects such as audio or video included in post text.

is it possible i could somehow get sheet music for this. There is a show called Showtime that our school puts on where we sing songs we like. I would like to perform this a cappella nintendo with a group of people but i cant find any sheet music.
