Thank You Mario! But Our Princess Is In Another Castle!

This video, which gets it's name from the song (which in turn was named after the phrase uttered throughout Super Mario Bros.), was inspired after seeing The Mountain Goats & Kaki King play together a few nights ago.
The song is a simple, bittersweet soliloquy. Spoken by Toad, who's only purpose in the game was to wait in the bowels of the castles for Mario. After being rescued, he would "guide" Mario onto the next castle.


Please respect these amazingly talented artists by BUYING their music.
The song is available on the EP "Black Pear Tree".

"The song is sung from the point of view of Toad. If you know who Toad is, that's all I'll need to tell you. If you don't who Toad is, you better recognize." -John Darnielle

[Alcherionthewise]

God this is wonderful. The moment of harmony is so much better for being the only one. That lyric has been my talisman all day, and will continue to be so.
