"Look, we can't sing for you without the back up band."
AKA: We can only dance around and move our lips, you won't get any music out of us...unless we can borrow your cassette (that's what they had then, folks!) tape.
If the real singers of the band were shown here, how come nobody knew they were lipsyncing? The whole Milli Vanilli band was PLANNED to be an act, I never understood why they got busted for lipsyncing. And if the original singers did the voices here, this just proves that everyone already knew. Something's out of whack here...
This version is the only one I've seen. Channel 4 showed this version many times during repeats years after the scandal. I have never seen the edited version.
How am i just finding out about this? This seems like some shit Nostalgia Critic would have posted years ago. And then ruined with 45 minutes of repetitive, unfunny screaming and airsoft guns.
So, did Rob and Fab actually sing here on this episode? And do the speaking voices belong to them? I can't find a clear answer anywhere, please tell me.
Poor Princess Toadstool. Can you belive how she reacted? She must have been like Hitler when he found out Fegelein and Peter Griffin shaved his moustache off while he was drunk.
It's kind of funny that they are so hated for what they did. MOST singers now don't sing their songs, well... they sorta do but it's mostly auto-tune.
It's showbiz. Rob and Fab were the "frontmen" and other people provided the actual sound. Rob and Fab made all the appearances and did all the dancing.
The Monkeys (the band) acted out playing instruments for their TV show while studio performers made the actual music.That stuff happens all the time and is really nothing new.(and hasn't stopped)
This brings me back when Saturday mournings were the SHIT!! Now Saturday mourning is nothing but news programings NBC sure was good 20 years ago now they SUCK!! Whoever put this on here thank u soooo much I love this cartoon
Bowser's parenting skills are awesome, this brings me back, good stuff hahaha. by the way is it me or does Bowser sound like the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase.
I wonder why the moment at 7:27-7:38 was cut. I know nothing about the actual band but just saw this because I'm a super mario fanatic and well I needed to see the real version and not the one in which generic pop was put in instead.
"Oh No! We're Nerds! We're Dweebs!!!" If you ask me, they were better off as accountants. At least they'd still be working, and that one guy would still be alive.
If they get turned into Beatles, that would suck because Michael Jackson would own the rights to their music.
This episode of Mario has a sordid and unusual history behind it. This was aired like 2 days before they announced they hadn't sung a note on their grammy winning album. This version of the episode only aired once before the Milli Vanilli songs were dubbed with generic stock music. This is a very rare find indeed. Thanks for the upload
@mlsgiant There were 5 real singers: Charles Shaw, John Davis, Brad Howell, and twin sisters Jodie and Linda Rocco. They were featured on Milli Vanilli's second album: Moment of Truth. It wasn't released in America.
The original two guys, Rob and Fab, released an album called Rob & Fab that bombed. They're actually good singers.
@mlsgiant That is incorrect. All it shows are three cartoon characters. The REAL backup singers are Jodie and Linda Rocco, Brad Howell and Johnny Davis.
@YoshiAngemon Don't forget that it also has a wrestler (Hint: He played as Mario in the show mentioned herein and died in 2009 of a heart atack, and was in one of Cyndi Lauper's music videos)
I wonder what the princess thought when she found out they didn't do their own singing, and that the real singers are a bunch of old guys who didn't have the look?
Yeah... omg is right. I actually remember watching this episode when I was 10 years old. And at that young of an age, you actually -liked- generic lipsync teenie bopper bands, because that's all the radio played. The early 90's was just an era of bad music. MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, NKOTB, C+C Music Factory, Mili Vanili...
