Jump Up Super Star! - Full Big Band/Strings cover ft. Grace Kelly (The 8-Bit Big Band)

The multitalented Grace Kelly is back yet again, this time giving us her best Mayor Pauline vocal stylings on the instant VGM classic "Jump Up Star Star!" from Super Mario Odyssey (2017)!

To me this song is the apex of Nintendo's amazing recent trend to lean very hard into big band style composing in their recent sound tracks, which is just awesome. Mario and Big Band music is truly a match made in heaven!

My father passed away a few days ago. This song appeared on my recommended list, and it really lifted me up. We used to call my father super Mario, because he was short, and had a moustache

[minivos]

Babe wake up new 8 bit big band song dropped

[Engineer_Who]

That moment when you notice "Odyssey" is misspelled, but you don't care because the song is such a bop and fills you with joy.

[Saxologic]

this is one of my favorite tracks let’s

[Ufosxm]

This song always brings me into a great mood. Fantastic cover!

[Thrillrider]

Grace has such a clean, crisp voice, and her overall vocal style fits this song so perfectly. Not to mention, she is a phenomenal saxophonist. Fantastic choice for this cover, I'd say.

[jmljr]

The way she slurs that “Soooo” at 3:54 is just perfect. *chefs kiss*.

[poweroffriendship.]

"JUMP UP SUPERSTAR" is truly one of the most magical moments ever experienced in gaming history.

[Lazy_eye_blobFish]

yep I am 28 years old and this song fills me with so much joy that it makes me cry every time, I cried when I played it in 2017 and I am crying now. Thank you for making me happy. You capped off your final vid of the year just right and I am glad youtube did something right and gave me the notification.

[gregheyheyhey]

My kids mock me b/c 8-Bit Big Band songs are all over our Spotify family mix, but I don't care. They need to learn to appreciate great stuff like this. They're a drummer and a clarinetist, so they'll eventually understand the brilliance of the arrangements and the ridiculous chops of the musicians.

[Patrick_OBrien]

I cannot get over the contrast between the big smile of Grace Kelly and the big grimace of the Drummer haha

[PokeWaffles]

That's a wild Neely on bass! I just came from his newest video

[InstrumentManiac]

Jesus this is so incredible. Y’all really went and not only knocked this out of the park but like did it better than the original. Happy to hear such great quality artistry 🥰🥰

[MauriceGuibot]

If you're obsessed by 4:03, and need to know what are the notes we hear there : bass plays Ab dude's singing a very tasty Gb grace is singing Eb and playing Bb on the sax. Gorgeous Eb minor triad on top Ab so some kind of Ab9 no third. I guess I was the one obsssed haha

[dellapj]

Love that since the original track is already a high quality orchestral arrangement, that here we get to just appreciate you guys on an artistic take level! Love Grace’s mix and your orchestration!

[howlingcommando]

Didn't know people still sang like this, makes me happy to hear it.

[lucavonpeschke]

This Version made me learn the song on drums myself! Sooo good! And Grace is killin it, knew her as a Saxophone player from Cory Wongs concert allready, but never knew shes such a great singer too! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[boscoxto]

Grace Kelly was an excellent choice to sing this song. She makes it very enjoyable and a fantastic job!! Amazing job as always everyone!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[AyeshaShaSha]

4:00 is when I had tears fall down my face. I wasn't ready for that harmony.
(I get super emotional with music so when I hear something incredible I just don't know what to do with my emotions😭😭🙈🙈)

My favourite Mario song brought to complete LIFE. This the first video of yours I've seen, and I only found you TODAY. I'm in AWE of your work. Grace looks PERFECT as Pauline, and looks SO SO HAPPY!!!! Also shout out to the Mr who was harmonising for the gods....

Shout out to the drummer who had the same stank face as me the whole way through.... When the music is too good you HAVE to pull that face! 🤣🤣

[johnscully]

Been waiting for this one, I’m sure you all will deliver a magical experience as usual!!

Edit: Through the entire video, I had a big dumb grin on my face. You did the song justice and then some, more hyped than ever for that new album!!!
