Creative Exercise from Mario Paint (SNES) - One Minute Bytes #20 (The 8-Bit Big Band)

ONE MINUTE BYTES PLAYLIST:

The 8-Bit Big Band "One Minute Bytes" #20 - "Creative Exercise" from Mario Paint (SNES). This song has become a favorite of YouTube gamers to underscore funny moments in their uploads. It's an incredible Trad Jazz theme from a beloved release. I truly love Mario Paint so much. It was my first introduction to music software with it's built in composer function, and it came with a mouse?? For your TV?? Truly a mind blowing piece of creative software at the time. Here's how it would sound if it were the end credits theme for a mid century TV sitcom :)

One Minute Bytes is our series of short videos dedicated to melodies and themes from within video games that deserve to be arranged even if they might not be the main theme of said game. Hope you enjoy these small, sharable, bite sized chunks of video game music!

FULL ALBUMS AVAILABLE ON BANDCAMP and ALL STREAMING SERVICES!

"The 8-Bit Big Band" is a 30-65 member Jazz/pops orchestra that formed to celebrate and realize some of the best themes from video game music from all consoles and eras arranged in a large ensemble Jazz/Pop/Rock setting!

Sounds like something you’d hear in “Uncle Mario’s Comedy Hour”

[LeotheTiger]

The One Minute Bytes are amazing; they always leave me wishing for a fuller version of the song, even if the reality is that's impractical. Still, that's how good they are.

[FarCritical]

Who's been who's been who's playin jazz

[krazyglue]

I always thought of this as a big band tune, and you brought it to life even better than I imagined it. Bravo!!

[zackri]

Gosh, I need a LONG version of this so I can have this on repeat and draw to it.

[brycevo]

This has such a Disney and Disneyland feel. I'm so impressed

[DiscError]

Who's been drawing, who's drawing this?
Patterns don't miss, creative bliss
Who's been drawing, been drawing that?
Where was it at, paint will go splat
I paint to find something new
Colors brewing in my stew
Tasty random ideas thrown in
Got a hundred patterns, where do I begin?
Got a pen, and a brush, and a bin, do not rush me 1 take time, gotta think, colors rhyme, let it sink 'cause That's complete, fair mistakes, sail the sheet, all it
takes
Is a mindful of imagination
Every piece is worth a celebration

[Califarubu]

Takes me back to the days where every YouTuber ever used this song. Great video❤

[GoldenSun]

Only 8-bit big band could take what is one of the biggest meme tunes on the internet, the kind that people use to describe what their last functioning brain cell is trying to do in order to be productive and turn it into a god damn masterpiece. Bravo!

[noncrediblecase]

This is such a colorful orchestration, sounds exactly how you would expect the tune to sound in a real jazz orchestra. Awesome!

[poindextersheelturn]

I remember playing Mario Paint back in 95. Wow, this music came out 30 years ago, just wow.

[BrentDiskin]

[Frog_Shield]

Feel like I'm watching a silly symphony cartoon! ❤

[daandanx]

I have to leave my comment of appreciation and love here. A simple like given months ago is not enough for such a wonderful cover.

[jellidrops]

Thank you, I’ve been waiting for this for years!!! This is one of if not my favorite mario songs ever, you guys did great!

[David.Binoya]

I could listen to those trombones all day

[blue-zmariossbu]

[samoftheam]
