I am very bored just relaxing at home and I thought to myself, hey is there a Super Mario theme song cover band? That would be great, if anyone could get back to me with a link then that would be pretty damn cool. I've been searching but so far I came up with nothing confused

P.S. I just realized that this should be in the Silliness thread... oops

The Minibosses haven't made a Super Mario Bros. cover. In fact, it's the major complaint of The Minibosses, that they are the preeminent video game cover band (moreover the preeminent NES video game cover band) and haven't covered its most popular game.

The Neskimos have, as have many other video game cover bands. If you've been searching and not come up with anything, you really haven't been searching very hard. That is, unless you've been searching here, and you know, not the rest of the Internet.

However, the MBS cover of SMB2 is delicious and was one of the highlights of M4Gfest.

There's also an orchestral version floating around file sharing networks. I saw it credited to the Boston Pops. And you can find any number of people rapping over it.

The Advantage is another good NES cover band.

You should also look in to Mario Speedwagon.

No they're not. I wanted to like them, they have Hella's drummer, and Hella's drummer rocks, but they're too literal with their interpretations. It's not fun to listen to the exact same notes with instruments.

Yeah, which is why Jean Baudin (the dude in the second video I posted), has gotten much, much, much more interest from his performance of the piece than....Zack Kim (?? -- I'm guessing his name from the url in the video). Kim's version was technically interesting, and sounded more accurate, but it was essentially exactly the same notes from the game, played on guitar, whereas Baudin's version was both technically interesting and an interesting stylized rendition of the piece.

Still, neither of them are the Minibosses. Alas.

"That's just like, your opinion, man."

I've always thought of them having sort of a surf sound.

The Spoony Bards are a general video game cover band, and they do a lot of different Mario tracks, including the oft-forgotten Gameboy gem Super Marioland. One of their pianists does a huge Mario medley.

Here's a vid of them:
