12/29/09 - TV's Kyle

My number 3 song of this year is TV's Kyle singing, "It's Just A Dream - Luigi's Lament." When this song first came out, I was whistling this song while umpiring little league games. It is extremely catchy -- an earworm of the worst kind -- with funny lyrics.

This song is based off of the plot of Super Mario Bros 2. I do remember playing this game some while growing up. I don't remember a lot of it except it was much more cartoon-y than the original Super Mario Bros and that part of it is digging down as quickly as you can. Fun stuff. I should download it for the Wii if it's there as I remember enjoying the game a lot and so I can listen to this song over and over again while playing.

Here's TV's Kyle with #3 for the year, "It's Just a Dream - Luigi's Lament."



Lyrics
Let’s all go back to 1988.
My older brother’s screaming into my face.
He speaks of adventure in a far away place
I think he’s gone nuts because his big lazy butt
Has been sleeping the whole afternoon.

It’s just a dream.
Oh Mario, it it’s not at all the way it seemed.
There’s no Birdos, Albatoss or Mousers,
It’s just a dream
Hey, I say brother,
It’s just a dream
However vivid, it can’t be the way it seemed.
Hate to burst your bubble, brother
but it was just a dream (Bob-Omb bomb)

“Oh, but Luigi! There were veg’tables.
I threw them at stuff.” (Bob-Omb bomb)
He does go on, but I soon yell,
“Enough, enough, enough already”
I’m sitting him down with a mug of shroom tea
Though I don’t like the tone he’s taken with me.
The three-headed snakes I say are totally fake
And why would vegetables all have a face?

My name’s Wart.
I’m big and green
And I invaded Mario’s dreams.
I want to rule the land of Sub-Con
And I think I could have won.
That big fat Italian dude
Force-fed me turnips, which I found rude.
I’d say he had a big advantage
With that floating princess
He blew up my friend the mouse
And stomped on Fry Guy. What a louse.
He picked up coins from underground
And used them for reincarnation
This whole thing is made of fail
I’m living in a tiny jail
Think I’ll move to Hyrule
And take up the ocarina.

It’s just a dream.
Oh Mario, it it’s not at all the way it seemed.
There’s no Birdos, Albatoss or Mousers,
It’s just a dream
Hey, I say brother,
It’s just a dream
However vivid, it can’t be the way it seemed.
Hate to burst your bubble, brother
but it was just a dream
It’s Doki Doki panic in Japan.
