i was at my student teaching placement a little while ago, goofing around before a lesson with my 5th graders (trombone lesson, actually). i was noodling on the piano with the original mario theme - possibly the most well-known and recognizable game music theme in existance - and one of my kids turned and said, "hey, i recognize that! it's in super mario galaxy!" or something like that.
and my heart broke.
i hear you, ghettoflame. i hear you.
edit: hey, dhsu, don't be a dick. he's got a good point.
