The Mario Kart Love Song

Last night I was watching a girl on Youtube performing an original song in front of her webcam. It was nice -- very 21st-century singer/songwriter -- but in the related videos field I saw "Mario Kart Love Song (Original)." I clicked.



What a lovely novelty song, I thought, then dismissed the video and its author, who shared the same generic setup as the girl I had been watching prior. But then I found myself singing the song later, as I was driving home from Farmington Hills. Apparently I had internalized the words and melody without realizing it, and I simply could not get the song out of my head. So, the moment I got home I watched the video again.

Anyway, I've been on damn Youtube for an hour or so now, and I'm debating recording the audio from the Mario Kart Love Song and creating an mp3 so I can throw it on my iPod (though I think this goes too far). The performer (real name: Sam Hart) goes by Blinktwice4y, on the internet at least, and in my opinion he's quite talented. I would like to sip a pretensious coctail and listen to his music in a bar setting.

Music on Youtube... who knew?

Just leaving a shout out from your most frequent frequenter, your baby cousin Tom. When you find time, feel free to give my blog a looksy. It's in the development stages, but me and muh boi think we've got an idea here worth noting.
