Nintendo Wii - Mii Channel Theme - Jazz Cover || insaneintherainmusic (feat. Gabe N. & Chris A.)

As the era of a new Nintendo console dawns upon us, I think it's time we looked back at a jazzy piece of music that we've all hummed along to at some point: the Nintendo Wii Mii Channel theme. Insaneintherainmusic's jazz cover / remix of the Mii Channel, featuring Berklee saxophonists Gabe Nekrutman (alto) & Chris Allison (bari).

I'm amazed at how many people seem to know the Mii Channel theme! Throughout the week, when friends of mine have asked which cover / remix I'll be doing this week, they've been able to hum or sing the Mii Channel theme back to me. It's really strange to me that the Mii Channel theme is this ubiquitous... but it's not so strange when you listen to it. It's catchy as heck! I really hope you enjoy the grooves I superimposed in this Mii Channel remix, and I hope you enjoy the saxophone solos! I brought in Gabe and Chris, who both did a great job with their parts.

If you were wondering... yes, some of the changes are from Chick Corea's "Spain". What a fantastic composition.

The mii Chanel theme but it keeps getting jazzier

[deadlysnakeman]

Some jazz band should play this in a restaurant and see how many people get it.

[CherryMiiverse]

Really Nintendo should make this the theme on the switch, to give a nice throwback for 10 years.

[bruhmomento]

When that sax kicked in a smile stretched from ear to ear holy moly

[liamjones]

this feels like a meme but with huge amounts of effort.

[adrisaurus]

[REPORTS THIS VIDEO FOR BEING WAY TOO GOOD]

[ArcherOfHoshido]

What if when we die, we go to Mii Plaza?

[rradt]

This sounds like it was made for mario odyssey.

[jahhahn]

THE FEELS OMG ITS ALL RUSHING BACK ALL THE HOURS SPENT TRYING TO MAKE MY MII LOOK PERFECT

[nonamelol]

I feel like this would be something that play in the elevator at Nintendo headquarters.

[superchessmachine]

0:00 what you expected
1:24 the epicness is beyond expectation

[broondoonphooloon]

It pisses me off how good they are, their high school jazz sax section must've been killer.

[danielpeters]

He did it. He actually fucking did it.

[drbone]

I never knew the mii channel theme could be seductive

[elephantshrew]

when the percussion came in I thought someone was trying to break into my house

[benbarretto]

ive been listening to this song on spotify for ages and wondered who had created it. its such a good song and i love it

[Yellowsander]

this should be elevator music at the offical nintendo headquarters.

[JacobsLazy]

This needs to be the theme for the switch's shop

[epicjoer]

I feel so sorry for all those who clicked off the music before it went into extreme jazz mode...
