As I was finishing up recording this song, I got an email from a guy who asked me to do this song as a tribute to his dad who had just passed away. This video goes out to Nick's dad. Hope it brings back some good memories!
Northern Wind Of course he did. He simply waited for the guy to raise his hands, punched him in the face, then went to town on the bandaged part of his stomach.
I was five when I got Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! Mike was tough! Oh man, that guy could knock your lunch out I will never be able to enjoy this song quite the same again.
Now THIS is excellent, even 8 years later. This is gorgeous and an awesome tribute to one of the best Nintendo franchises to this day, if not the best to me.
I went back and listened to the original theme, and while I understand that it was 8 bit music, I was blown away by just how much more stuff you added to this (the drum stuff mostly) while still keeping the original heart of it alive. Simply amazing. I keep coming back to listen to this and a few others.
My favorite part about McGroove's videos is that fact that he sings WHATEVER THE HECK HE WANTS. Retro all the way! These are the games I grew up playing and have forever since been playing on my violin whenever I feel down. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent, as always!
That guy could knock your lunch out! Then he went to jail. (I went to jail) His contract went upstream. But Nintendo still had a scheme. With doucebaggy "Mr. dream"!! (Oh no!)
Wait... The is not Mike Tyson on the Wiimake. BULLSHIT COCK! Then what's the point of having a remake? That's a bunch of shit! Bald bull I kind of like, Even though we look alike, He isn't have as cool as Mike!!!!
Actually, occasionally he has to change his arrangement, because he sometimes gets copyright claims on the music. UA-cam actually occasionally picks up his singing as the ORIGINAL audio. HOW FUCKING COOL IS THAT!?
These Smooth McGroove videos have been stalking my Recommended videos section for a couple of months and now I understand why. If certain types of videos stalk you for months it means it will be something you like.
If you draw a line over all of the screens where he has a black hat on and over the videogame screen, it makes a T. Mike Tyson is the boss of the game... Tyson begins with a T. coincidence? I think not!
The first letter of triple is T. There are three sides on a triangle. Mike Tyson only needs to punch you three times to knock you out. Mike Tyson Illuminati confirmed!
This version sounds absolutely amazing. Adding the drum track was a very smart choice. It really picks up and drives the song, making this version IMO much better and more fun than the original. Also, those harmonies just sound stellar and unreal. Amazing job McGroove!!
I don't think that he already did the jogging theme. He should do it, with lyrics! :D And everybody knows the lyrics.... NIGGAH STOLE MY BIKE!!! and it repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats...
My IPad doesn't let me click on peeps replying to my comments, so it gunna look dumb, and what you said.....MAKES PERFECT SENSE! Maybe that's why Mac's running behind Doc. 'WHAT THE HELL DOC? GIVE THE DAMN BIKE BACK!!! XD
Daniel Norris It does make sense, but I didn't invent those lyrics, it's actually from a video on youtube ^^ I was shocked that you didn't know it, just search: "Nigga stole my bike" it's ridicoulus xD (I think I spelled ridicoulus wrong, sorry, 'cause I usually don't speak English ^^)
LuigiLiker Just FYI, it's ridiculous. Firefox and (I think) Google Chrome has spell checking, so if you're on a PC those might be a good choice to keep the grammar nazis at bay.
Me. Mainly because I have an NES emulator on my computer, and I can play Punch-out on it. Still can't get past Bald Bulk the second time you fight him.
@@dustisbored2328 Same. Fun fact: if you dodge Bald Bull's first charge attack, he stands closer and the next charge is actually a lot easier to counter. The frames you have to counter go from 4 to 13 which is an increase over 200%
0:43 bald bull 2 getting up at the nine made me actually angry (he’s the only fight in all of mike Tyson’s punch out who can do that AND he only gets knocked down by star punches so it feels even worse)
Great stuff Smooth - I don't know if this has been requested but I think music from the first Rayman game on PS1 would be great. Anyways thanks for the memories.
Cave Story Theeeeeemeee Anyway, very nice, Punch Out was one of the very first games I ever played! I don't think I ever got past Soda Popinski though :D
Fun Fact: When you start the game and it says, Mike is waiting for your challenge, that is the theme from Look Sharp/Be Sharp March by the Boston Pops Orchestra. It's the 50's Gillette commercial theme.
Is it just me or does bald bull rematch make the perfect fight to represent punch out as a whole with a song or something? Like just hearing this theme while watching him throw these fast challenging punches out in the patturn he does it is so entertaining with the music
This song and Team Rocket Hideout were the first two that he uploaded after I found this channel and subscribed and I would probably not care much for them otherwise, but instead they legit bring me back in time. Like, I'm in 2014 again every time I go to this page, reading that comment about Nick's dad for the first time and thinking "Aw, how sweet." Every single time.
I just realized that his hats match Mac's shorts and shirt. Not only does he have a glorious voice and beard, but he also puts in clever little extras for us. Bravo Smoothie.
The effort you put in these is just incredible, but I personally feel this one is your best work. It fits your voice perfectly, and I feel more raw emotion from this than any other song you did. I have a sneaking suspicion this was your favorite one to make, but if I'm wrong I'd love to know which one was so I can appreciate that song as well ;)
As I was finishing up recording this song, I got an email from a guy who asked me to do this song as a tribute to his dad who had just passed away.
This video goes out to Nick's dad. Hope it brings back some good memories!
Great video, you know how to charm everyone
You're such a great guy :')

Amen
Amen
Amen?
Amen.
Amen
I tried singing this during a real fight once and it worked for a few seconds to confuse the guy, then it just angered him.
Did you beat him anyway?
Northern Wind Of course he did. He simply waited for the guy to raise his hands, punched him in the face, then went to town on the bandaged part of his stomach.
i tried the same thing, but with the Karate Kid song (The Best Around)... i ended up getting arrested with my pants off...
Wow. You must have good taste, because you always get at least 50 likes on every comment you make. And you're everywhere!
I was five when I got Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
Mike was tough!
Oh man, that guy could knock your lunch out
I will never be able to enjoy this song quite the same again.
Brent and Smooth are two fun guys when it comes to game music, oh yes.
Amen to that brotha :3
Same! Now I enjoy it even more!
DoesAThing
*DoesWatchBrentalfloss*
and can't get the lyrics out of his head also XD
Literally JUST watched Crash does a thing before this video. Coincidence? I think not!
Anyone else think this song is underrated AF?
Yup
The entire Punch out franchise is underrated AF
The game itself is underrated, it’s one of Nintendo’s greats
Yes
@@johnboi8712 people think little of it
Now THIS is excellent, even 8 years later.
This is gorgeous and an awesome tribute to one of the best Nintendo franchises to this day, if not the best to me.
YOU AIN'T NO AIR FIGHTER,MAC.
Grant Smith Smash ain't no joke
The fist is mightier than the sword

He takes tons of requests though
Retro AND new all the way!

Was five when I got Mike Tyson's punch out.
Mike was tough...
That guy could knock your lunch out!
Then he went to jail.
(I went to jail)
His contract went upstream.
But Nintendo still had a scheme.
With doucebaggy "Mr. dream"!!
(Oh no!)
Anyone want to join the chain song?
Ethan Taneo now luckily punch-out is back..for the wii
wait no mike tyson
Wait... The is not Mike Tyson on the Wiimake.
BULLSHIT COCK!
Then what's the point of having a remake?
That's a bunch of shit!
Bald bull I kind of like,
Even though we look alike,
He isn't have as cool as Mike!!!!
The timing with that first knockdown transitioning into Mario saying "fight!" Right as the backbeat comes in is fantastic.
When Super Smash Bros 4 comes out they need the Smooth McGroove version of Little Mac's theme for the OST.
PrincessZelda2020
Unfortunately, they didn't. Luckily, there's mods.

Hope for smash bros 5
Two words. Smash 5.

You sir, win everything
You can make your voice go impressively high. I can hardly even tell that this is your voice. It sounds like a NES!
He is so awesome!
In his videos I've listened to, there's always that one non-human, videogame-y part. It's amazing!
Actually, occasionally he has to change his arrangement, because he sometimes gets copyright claims on the music. UA-cam actually occasionally picks up his singing as the ORIGINAL audio. HOW FUCKING COOL IS THAT!?

That's why they're recommended.

Husk i can picture Mick yelling now, Unfortunately he died from a heart attack. Shame.
My absolutely favorite! Can you do the training music from this game where Mac is running next to the bike?
HA that's awesome!
To this day I still can't beat Tyson man.

Balrog: MY BIKE MONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYY!!
I believe the song is called "Nigga stole my bike theme"
BalaTheHero9 i just laughed a good 10 minutes at work hahaha
Little McGroove...
Following Smooth since years and I Can assure that this Acapella thème IS easily on your top 10 ever !
Pure masterclass
Good God why didn't I know about this channel until now.
Better late than never, my friend!
This version sounds absolutely amazing. Adding the drum track was a very smart choice. It really picks up and drives the song, making this version IMO much better and more fun than the original. Also, those harmonies just sound stellar and unreal. Amazing job McGroove!!
Ah, memories... This was my very first time hearing one of Smooth McGroove's video game acapella covers. I haven't regretted it since!
Another amazing song Smooth McGroove. I am a huge fan and I look forward to every song! #killingit
Get off UA-cam and get back to work slave! I demand more videos! :P
hashtags in youtube essentialy do a video search, it does not add this video to a group like in twitter. just saying
Holy crappoli!! This was so smooth, McGroove! Excellent job! May Mac continue to punch his way out to the top of the Smash Bros roster
im great as mac hes awesome and mega man
They're both stellar. I hope they stick with the series
Come little children don't you squirm....
Not you again. Didn't I spray some Max Repel around here?
Ethan Berry Max repel has lost it's effect..... I came for the punchout theme ^_^, I'm a boxer in real life
Bald Bull must have created 233 accounts.
+Brenda Rex
Wouldn't Don Flamenco create some too?
What about Mr. Sandman?
I'm pretty sure Glass Joe have
Don't forget Mr. Dream.
Piston Honda probably put him up to it
I'm not gonna lie, outside of checking Google+ this was the first video I saw once my data connection was restored. Great job Smooth McGroove
The Cave Story Theme would be great, but really, no matter what you post I'm going to love it.
You should make the Jogging Theme, people would probably dig that! And if you already did it, just tell me, or anyone for that matter
I don't think that he already did the jogging theme.
He should do it, with lyrics! :D
And everybody knows the lyrics....
NIGGAH STOLE MY BIKE!!! and it repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats...

If he was to do a cover of any of JBs songs, he'd make them 100,000,000x better...although he won't because Smooth's smart.

at 0:37, that screen does stuff
Took about, oh... two seconds before I had a smile from ear to ear at the awesomeness of this, the nostalgia flooding back.
Sir we demand metroid now
he should do one from super metroid imo
Yes! I finally know the lyrics!!! Thanks Smooth
Acapella versions of videogame music and some frames have a cat in it. This man is a internet genius.
0:43 bald bull 2 getting up at the nine made me actually angry (he’s the only fight in all of mike Tyson’s punch out who can do that AND he only gets knocked down by star punches so it feels even worse)
Yea, GL getting him! My strat is to survive to round 2, counter 2 bull charges, then sneak in a knockdown
Thats great ! It makes me wish that Little Mac would be in the next smash bros........Wait.
Oh hey, I was kinda waiting for this one.
I love how the song upgrades mid track from nes to wii
I love this song! Amazing job as usual!
Every time I see a Smooth video in my sub box, I drop everything I'm doing and watch it immediately.
Great stuff Smooth - I don't know if this has been requested but I think music from the first Rayman game on PS1 would be great. Anyways thanks for the memories.
Doc: "Hey, Mac! What's your favorite flower? Mines chocolate! Hahaha!"
That line right there is what sold me to this franchise. XD

no it wouldnt

did anyone else just smile from ear to ear and wanted to dust of the Nintendo while watching this?
more than just dust off, it got me to risk virus and hard-drive to download a copy of the original mike Tyson punch-out on my computer
i got it on Wii, but it aint the same at all
