When you think of the Super Mario Bros. iconic theme tune, the first person to come to mind is probably not US TV host Jimmy Fallon. This video, however, may change that, showing Fallon teaming up with the cast of the 2023 Super Mario Bros. animated film to perform a zany a cappella version of that very theme tune.
With a whopping 86 million views to date, the video has clearly been a hit online – and when you see the number of famous faces in it, it’s hardly surprising! There’s Chris Pratt, Jimmy Fallon himself, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, Seth Rogen, and many more, all bringing some fun energy to the clip that people clearly can’t get enough of right now.
Those who have watched the video online have, of course, taken to the YouTube comment section to leave their thoughts, with many viewers in particular praising the energy that Jack Black brings to the performance. “Jack Black really gave this his all!” said one viewer, while another said they loved the actor’s energy and that he was so much fun to watch in the video.
Jimmy Fallon’s enthusiasm earned him some compliments from YouTube viewers, but as any dedicated fans of Fallon will know, this is not the first time he has done this sort of thing on his show. Back in 2015, for instance, he teamed up with the cast of ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ to do an a cappella version of iconic Star Wars musical themes.
Right now, however, it’s the version of the Mario theme that Fallon performs with the cast of the Super Mario Bros. movie that takes the crown as the best a cappella performance he has done in this style to date. Bringing some seriously fun energy to an already zany theme tune, we can’t think of a better video to watch to remind yourself what a great piece of music that theme is!
Jimmy Fallon and the star-studded cast of the 2023 Super Mario Bros. animated film have crafted a viral sensation with their a cappella rendition, capturing the hearts of millions.
