Ambassadors of Funk f/ M.C. Mario - Super Mario Compact Disco

Overview

What we have here is an interesting fusing of the Ambassadors of Funk and M.C. Mario, resulting in great remixes of classic Mario tunes. The lyrics, however, are just bad enough that you'll find yourself chuckling at times.

The seven "Radio Compact Disco" tracks are short messages from M.C. Mario himself. With his British accent, he'll say something, then "Radio Compact Disco," then he'll say something else. You'll be glad these seven tracks are short.

Lyrics

02) Super Mario Bros. Theme

Straight outta Brooklyn, Mario and Luigi
Chill, sit back, and take things easy
The brothers are rolling cool like a breeze
In T-shirts, hats, and dungarees
Plumbers of the highest grade
You got water trouble? Well that's their trade
So Winter or Summer, forget all the others
And just call the Super Mario Brothers

Jus-just call the Super Mario Brothers

Ju-ju-just call the Super Mario Brothers

Jus-just call the Super Mario Brothers

No problem too big, no problem too small
Just give the Super Mario Brothers a call
Three sixty-five right around the clock
Showers, bath, or your what-nots
Modesty aside, and I'm a shop talkin'
Let your fingers do the walkin'
Winter or Summer, forget all the others
Just call the Super Mario Brothers

Ju-ju-just call the Super Mario Brothers

Ju-ju-just call the Super Mario Brothers

Jus-just call the Super Mario Brothers

There ain't a problem that we can't fix
With the tools in our tool kits
Boilers, or burst water mains
Overflowing drains that stink in the rain
Central heating, attic laggin'
Is your water level saggin'?
Winter or Summer, forget all the others
And just call the Super Mario Brothers

Ju-ju-just call the Super Mario Brothers

Jus-just call the Super Mario Brothers

[Vocal adlib]
Just call

03) Radio Compact Disco 1

Yo, check this out. You're in tune with Radio Compact Disco. Twenty-four hours a day, brand-new, I'm pumpin' out super-dope sounds in the Mushroom World.
To tune in, just put the CD in, and press play. I'm M.C. Mario, super-fine with a jump and a spin.

04) Super Mario Land

Welcome, and enter the center
Of my Super Mario adventure
My girl is trapped on the other side of town
So I'm movin' in leaps and bounds
Folks around my way think I'm strange
But there's a villian to blame
Even my ma, she thinks I'm crazy
But I've got to rescue Daisy (let's go!)

C'mon! C'mon!

There ain't
Th-th-there ain't
Th-th-there ain't no place like Super Mario Land (let's go!)

You now have two minutes

C'mon!

Well I'm back off my Lisa Stansfield trip
And I'm rejuvinated and I'm remixed
I took planes, trains, and automobiles
And for real got ill in Brasil (c'mon! c'mon!)
I'm the Wizard of Oz when on tour
And got poor in Singapore
And I've eaten sushi in Japan
But there ain't no place like Super Mario Land

C'mon!

There ain't
Th-th-there ain't
Th-th-there ain't no place like Super Mario Land (c'mon! c'mon!)

There is now one minute left

Check this out
Let's go

She's my lady, my pride and joy
'Cause to her I'm a hero, not a toy-boy
So I'm climbin' mountains, swinging through trees
And even facing killer bees
Down secret tunnels in dark rooms
Met with the creature from the Blue Lagoon
Folks out there might think that I'm crazy
But I've got to rescue Daisy (c'mon c'mon let's go!)

Let's go!

C'mon! C'mon!

C'mon!

There ain't
Th-th-there ain't
Th-th-there ain't no place like Super Mario Land (c'mon! c'mon!)

Stand by for the final countdown

Let's go

Since she's gone
There's no sunshine
I'll make a wish to my hills; three times
And I'm gatherin' coins like Indiana Jones
So one day we can make a happy home
So I'm duckin', divin', bobbin', and weavin'
But I sure ain't leavin'
Get with the program
Come join the man
'Cause there ain't no place like Super Mario Land (c'mon c'mon let's go!)

Let's go

C'mon! C'mon!

05) Radio Compact Disco 2

Well, there you go. Super Mario Land, there's no place like it. You can call me anytime you got problems. You're in check with Radio Compact Disco, 24 hours a day, and it don't stop there. Super Mario Land's a big place. Comin' up next, from Koopa the bad boy brother 31: Go, Mario, Go.

06) Go, Mario, Go!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)

Now Mario's the name, adventure's the game
And now you know just-just why I came
I'm the super, duper, with a booter
For the Paratroopa of the evil Koopa
The do-or-die-die, super-fly guy-guy
And now I got me a battle cry
And since you all know who's the star of the show
Well let me hear you say "Go, Mario, Go!"

Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)

Well I first came along with Donkey Kong
And that's way, way back (echo: back) in '81
In '83 came Luigi
In a game of my own to hook up with me
Now I'm on your screens, I got a brand new song (echo: song)
Learn the words, sing along
Since you all know who's the star of the show
Well let me hear you say "Go, Mario, Go!"

[Sampled intro from the Superman TV series:]
Faster than a speeding bullet
More powerful than a locomotive
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound

Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)

Now I've crossed the mountains, and skies above (echo)
All because the lady loves
So, ciao bella, señorita
Mario's on his way and he's comin' to meet ya
Bring 'em all, bring along, bring the whole gang (echo)
And let 'em try to stop me if they can
But since you all know who's the star of the show
Well let me hear you say "Go, Mario, Go!"

Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)

Well I first came along with Donkey Kong
And that's way, way back in '81
In '83 came Luigi
In a game of my own to hook up with me
Now I'm on your screens, I got a brand new song
Learn the words, sing along
And since you all know who's the star of the show
Well let me hear you say "Go, Mario, Go!"

Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)
Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)

07) King of the Koopas

Super Mario Compact Disco

[Sampled:]
The King!

Now for the N-E-S, at its best
The Mario Brothers are free, but fresh
8-bit, and packed with a boom
And you're off to the kingdom of the Magic Mushroom
So get with the flow and act like you know
Or you may as well be playing Bingo
'Cause it's official, 'cause every test it passes
Mario Brothers are cool like sunglasses

Now fly, swing, jump, or climb
With the best-selling game of all time
You got so many heroes from coast to coast
But then, Superman won't even come close
So for Koopa and his villainous crews
I ain't got nothin' except for bad news
'Cause it's official, and every test it passes
Mario Brothers are cool like sunglasses

Now even our hero has his dream
To rescue the princess and make her a queen
But nobody knows where the North wind blows
Maybe it's somewhere over the rainbow
But we can set up home fit for a saint
And do it over in Mario Paint
'Cause it's official, and every test it passes
Mario Brothers are cool like sunglasses

08) Radio Compact Disco 3

Here's today's special guest on Radio Compact Disco. He's a popular guy, a V.I.P. dinosaur, and he eats apples. Yo, it's Yoshi.

[Yoshi sound effect from SMW]

Come again, bad boy?

[Same sound effect]

You say you're surprised to be on the show?

[Same sound effect]
[Different Yoshi sound effect from SMW]

Well hey, you're a hero, man!

[Same sound effect]

OK then, you wanna play your own game? The one with the eggs? Let's do it man. Hit the switch.

11) Super Mario World

12) Radio Compact Disco 4

Well alright, and Super Mario World's the biggest place. At least I rescued Daisy. Me and the Princess go way back to the first time I turned on the charm. And if you don't believe me, why don't you ask her yourself?

13) Save Me (With Your Charm)

Yo, this is Princess Daisy
You're listening to Super Mario Compact Disco
Kick it

Save me with your charm
Save me with your charm
Save me with your charm
Save me with your charm

Yes, this is Mario Land
Super Mario the hero and Princess Daisy
A fine young lady
Rescue her, not maybe
But yes from the Koopa Troopa
Donkey Kong, Kinopio-yo
Hammer Bros. on a mission of harm
Save me with your charm

Oh, Mario
Oh

Save me with your charm
Save me with your charm
Save me with your charm
Save me with your charm

Inside pipes, triple heights
To rescue me from parasites
It's annoying so he destroys them
Drops the shell and kicks them into coins
Then he chills
Leaves them ill
Picks up Daisy
The fine young lady
No one can do me no harm
'Cause Mario's got the charm

Oh, Mario
Oh

Save me with your charm
Save me with your charm
Save me with your charm
Save me with your charm (hey)

Oh, Mario
Oh
Oh

Through the trees, oceans, and woods
I know he'd save me if he could
He's the man of my dreams
True love... at least it seems
If he lost his final life
I'm so scared I won't be his wife
I feel so safe within his arms
Oh Mario, save me with your charm

Oh Mario Oh Mario

Save me with your charm
Save me with your charm
Save me with your charm
Save me with your charm

Oh
Oh

14) Radio Compact Disco 5

And she is definitely my number-one girl. Twenty-four hours a day, this is Radio Compact Disco, in the Mushroom World, and I'm M.C. Mario on the drive-time show.

15) Super Mario Kart

Fasten seatbelts, hold tight
And believe the hype
Mario Kart has the wheels of steel
And more tricks than the Batmobile
The roughest thing out on the street
Pumpin' the magic beat
Mario Kart, it ain't no joke
Adiós, see ya later, and eat smoke

On your marks, get set, and we're off
This race ain't for the soft
Tarmac, lava, and ice
Nigel Mansell: think twice
100cc out-burner
With no mercy for a learner
Mario Kart, it ain't no joke
Adiós, see ya later, and eat smoke

Hands on the wheel, eyes on the road
Throw your weapons at your foe
Starsky and Hutch can't get no looser
Officer don't give me producer
This race is fast and furious
Who ain't wit' it, ride the bus
Mario Kart, it ain't no joke
Adiós, see ya later, and eat smoke

16) Super Mario USA

Live from the land of hope and glory
You know the name and this is my story
Born and raised in the streets of Italy
My father was a plumber and taught it to me
I love watchin' boxing on the main feature
But nothin' beats mama's pasta and pizzas
So here we are, what more can I say?
Super Mario in the U.S. of A.

Now I set up in business with my brother Luigi
Plumbin's our trade, and to us it's easy
We started havin' trouble back in '81
When I first ran into Donkey Kong
So to help me to relax and to keep in trim
I work on tennis and my golf swing
So here we are, what more can I say?
Super Mario in the U.S. of A.

Now check the last verse of our little review
Right here in the land where dreams come true
So as the right of every resident
Maybe one day Mario for president
Princess Daisy, and Princess Peach
Well of course I've got a job for them each
So here we are, what more can I say?
Super Mario in the U.S. of A.

17) Radio Compact Disco 6

You're in tune with M.C. Mario and it's gettin' late. And now you know more about my life than I do. I'm like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde; Mario and Wario. And that guy first appeared when I had to go get those six golden coins.

18) Six Golden Coins

Here we are, Super Mario Land number two
Grab six coins, you're through
To face Wario in his castle
My alter ego and evil rascal
He's got the princess bound up as captive
And anyway you check it, it's unattractive
So on and on the story unfolds
And the search for those six pieces of gold

Now Turtle, Pumpkin, just to name a few
Of the zones you got to pass through
So hop to hippo level, and grab a bubble
Go outer space on the double
But while you're swimmin', beware of sharks
'Cause there's villians out there to tear you apart
On and on the story unfolds
And the search for those six pieces of gold

Now bonus levels are packed with gifts
Power-up, extra life, hit and pick
Armored with fireballs, be well-prepared
But better yet, grab those bunny ears
Fight against witches, and dirty rats
And you can stomp the other bosses when they attack
On and on the story unfolds
And the search for those six pieces of gold

19) Radio Compact Disco 6

That's the end of our first show on Radio Compact Disco. Number one in the Mushroom World. And don't forget: to tune in, all you gotta do is put the CD in, press play. So until the next time—

Lyrics transcribed by Deezer, J.J. McCullough, and MEGAߥTE.
