YouTube User Releases 'Super Mario 64' Remixes Of Tame Impala & Radiohead Classics

YouTube user on4word has made waves with their takes on famous Aphex Twin and Nine Inch Nails tracks, but now they've gone steps further with excellent Tame Impala and Radiohead covers. Listen below.

On4word has put their own spin on the Tame Impala classic, The Less I Know The Better, to stunning effect. The bass still grooves despite this version being so chill, and the line "She was holding hands with Bowser, not the greatest feeling ever" in the info is too funny.

While the user has covered the Radiohead songs Idioteque (Kid A), and OK Computer's Paranoid Android and No Surprises, they've taken on a whole new challenge by covering an entire album and transforming it into something completely different. Meet In Rainbow Roads.

As Alana Hagues at Nintendo Life notes, "15 Step uses sound fonts from Shifting Sand Land, Bowser levels, and Bob-omb speech noises, and Bodysnatchers has the iconic menu toot, for lack of a better word."

Hagues adds, "Weird Fishes / Arpeggi uses the little 'tink' sounds from Dire Dire Rocks (plus there's something that made us laugh out loud), and Reckoner, which is an incredible song in its own right, gave us nightmares by using the Merry-go-round music from Big Boo's Haunt." Weird Fishes / Arpeggi has the best use of "oof" ever.

"Difficult to sum up what the album means to me at this point. It was a pretty special time for me making the music (it wasn’t an album yet at that point). In a way it’s when I truly discovered myself as an artist," Kevin Parker wrote on Instagram, reflecting on Lonerism's impact and legacy and his doubts at the time.

"Coming off the back of Innerspeaker I had this new sense of purpose. I had finally given myself permission to let music take over my being completely… to become totally immersed in my own world of recording music. So I had this new sense of creative freedom. 

"I felt free to be ambitious, weird, pop, experimental, whatever, and didn’t feel judged because I was finally just doing it for myself and believed in myself. For the most part anyway… of course the day came to release it and it all came crashing down and I thought the album sucked and couldn’t even imagine people enjoying it. 

"As it turns out I was wrong… the album dropped and exceeded all my expectations and my life changed massively again, and I slowly realised the music was pretty good, again, which gave me a new sense of purpose, and the cycle starts again…."
