Now this is videogame music. Here you have a bunch of old ladies in fancy hats (the Raspberry Jam Band) performing the athletic theme from Yoshi's Island. This is probably how Koji Kondo would've wanted the game to sound anyway - and these pink-clad grandmas do a bang-up job even if not. The camerawork in this video isn't going to blow you away - whomever took it was likely a friend of the tuba player, so you don't get to see the full spread. Sound quality is quite good though, and that's what matters here. The arranger is Ron O'Dell (AKA Keeper), and you can download the sheet music for his piano score here. Thanks to Frank, who should also update his website, for the link.
