  • 'Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island - Athletic Theme' as played by Tom Brier.
    Because Tom played it twice in the video, this transcription doesn't follow exactly what he played, but is rather a mix of fragments from these two takes.

    Keep in mind, this is pure sightreading. He has never heard the song before. Absolutely amazing. And yes, I do know that this is a matchup of his two performance, but take a look at his Korobeiniki perfomance, and you'll see how good he is.

    • @GSVRemix

      This is based on the original performance, which was sight-read. He improvised some of it due to his knowledge of how ragtime is supposed to sound like.

    Feeling down on your luck?
    Does life just kinda suck?
    I wish I could say nope
    Then it sounds like you need hope!
    It keeps a guy fulfilled
    For me it's not being killed!
    Oh, it's like that joy when we kidnap boys!
    Uh, no.
    Hoping for food or some (WHAT)
    It's sure to brighten your mood
    But there's nothing to look forward to
    Surely that's not true!
    Learn to cook
    Or read a book
    There's no need to grieve!
    So please for the love of god, let us leave!
    I really wanna travel far and wide
    Sure, of course, just no more homicide.
    But what could be better than serious trauma?
    Have you considered owning a pet llama?
    OUUUUUUUUUUU
    Very interesting, I'll note that feedback!
    See guys? Life's a blast when you stop looking in the past!
    And don't you worry, friends
    Cause in the end
    You are brothers who have each other
    So hope will always stay
    To make your day
    Now please
    Just go away!
