This is set to the music of the Bubble Bobble theme. But I'm playing it on guitar. Anyway back in high school I used to get asked, like really frequently, if I were gay; I'm not.

Like "Donkey Kong," this is ... me singing over a brief Nintendo thing. I wouldn't have bothered posting it but it has a fanbase for some reason. It was sampled in the Frontalittle Squad song "Jalopy," which won the Song Fight! competition that week.

I'm not per-se proud of this one. There's nothing really to be said about it.
