Blog Entry: Round and Round == Mario Brothers?

2005 June 29, 10:13 AM

I've always wondered if the Ratt song Round and Round was really about Mario Brothers (I realize I'm misquoting some lyrics below, this is just how I heard them):

"we'll put you on your shells", a reference to the turtle-like shellcreepers?
"another day, some other way", a reference to a new level and a new method of defeating enemies?
"I knew right from the beginning that you would end up winning; I knew right from the start, you put an arrow through my heart", what the Princess might say to Mario
"out on the streets, that's where we'll meet"; Mario Brothers is set "under the streets" (in the sewers), so this one's admittedly a bit of a stretch.
