Mario Opera Makes a Classic More Classy [Video]

There is a Spider-Man musical, so why not a Mario opera, right? Get ready for a big surprise: The Mario opera is actually really good. Okay, so it might be a stretch to call this one song in a stereotypical opera style — and a stereotypical Italian accent — an “opera,” but it’s not a stretch to call it awesome. The song is courtesy of legolambs, a YouTube channel devoted to pop culture musicals and run by Jon and Al Kaplan. Check it out. It’s a terrific way to spend 2:49 minutes and justify calling a huge part of your childhood “high culture.”
