A coworker sent me a link to this great video of a choir doing a medley of old Nintendo music, a capella. Gotta love the jumping Mario guy. I don’t know the story behind this… anyone have any more information?
Fairly large video download, by the way. And obviously, it has sound. So maybe you’ll want to save it for home, not the office.

1Haha, that was great.
It’s actually only a 5.1Mb video — I guess the server is a bit slow.

2My best guess (I saw this elsewhere today) is that the group is the Toons, from MIT & Wellseley. See mention on this page:

3Ah, must be. My coworker said “Warning: Hundreds of megabytes involved” and I assumed it’d taken him a long time to get and I was just viewing it from our internal caching server.

4It was great!! The Zelda bit was hilarious.
I don’t recognise the second song, though…

5My understanding is that it’s Redefined from The University of Wisconsin.
And a cappella has two p’s and two l’s. I’m a little anal about that since I was in a group in college and a lot of people misspell it (though your spelling has some grounds), and I’ve never figured out why. :)

6This is a fun little video. To Pablo Terlisky: the second tune is from “Dr. Mario.”

7My favorite bit had to have been tetris. I didnt recognize the music initially but watching them form falling tetris pieces was very funny.

9I wish I knew where to get the sheetmusic for that one if anyone finds out please post it let me know
If anyone’s wondering some of the songs let me help you the first song is from Mario, then Dr. mario, then the battle screen song from mario bros 3, then the powerstar song in mario, then tetris, mortal kombat, back to mario, Zelda then mario again for the finale.
if this helped you remember the songs in anyway your welcome.

12gamemusicthemes.com, I just went to there web site and it appears to be down, I managed to save a copy of Tetis just in time…Any way, go to google.com and search for game music themes then click on the Chached link to see what googles has in there server, if the site is still down. It has a lot of great pieces of sheet music
