Friday Video: Kootie Pie, you know it's true
This clip from The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 features two Mario characters who have been in even fewer games than Mouser: Milli Vanilli. In "Kootie Pie Rocks," Rob and Fab are kidnapped by Koopa to perform for his annoying daughter Kootie Pie (Wendy O. Koopa in the game). We don't want to spoil the story for you, so we'll just give you that setup.
Attentive viewers may notice that the music played doesn't match the onscreen movement at all, and moreover, is not "Girl, You Know It's True." In fact, the music in the video doesn't even have any vocals, meaning that Milli Vanilli wouldn't have anything to do even if they really did sing. We suspect, however, that the original broadcast did use "Girl, You Know It's True," and that the rights to the song expired before this later broadcast. It's sad, and can ruin shows that rely on popular music. Luckily, it's kind of impossible to ruin The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3.
We have to wonder, though; couldn't Rob and Fab have at least performed their own speaking voices?
