Koji Kondo ripped off obscure '70s funk band Friendship.

Well, he's already got the porn 'stache.:D

I’m getting a link to an Arby’s commercial with the first one.

Am I supposed to be getting Arby’s commercials and the music from a Mario Bros. game?

There’s a funk bank called Friendship, but they’re current, not '70s. And I guess the riff on one of their songs sounds similar to the Super Mario theme if you use your imagination.

I’m sorry, but I just don’t have that much imagination while straight-could I borrow some of yours?

All music groups borrow/are influenced (partly intentionally and partly unintentionally) from other groups.

I bolded your issue above. It’s Friday afternoon, long past time for a beer.

Dunno how i copied an arby’s ad.:smack:

Hopefully this one works.
