Dr. Mario

Brentalfloss's song "Dr. Mario" is a humorous and playful take on the iconic video game character, Dr. Mario. The song reimagines Mario, the beloved plumber from the Mushroom Kingdom, as a quirky and somewhat unorthodox doctor. The lyrics are filled with comedic elements, poking fun at the medical profession and the absurdity of a video game character taking on such a serious role. The song opens with Dr. Mario introducing himself and humorously noting his new attire, complete with a doctor's coat and stethoscope, while emphasizing his mission to save lives and spread joy through high fives and laughter.

The song continues with Dr. Mario boasting about his medical expertise, humorously claiming to have earned his degree by watching popular medical TV shows like House, Scrubs, and ER. The chorus highlights the brightly colored pills that are a staple of the Dr. Mario game, suggesting that these pills can cure all sorts of ailments, from fever to chills. The lyrics then take a more absurd turn as Dr. Mario conducts a mock medical examination, asking the patient to take off their pants and turn their head and cough, before diagnosing them with a series of increasingly ridiculous and exaggerated conditions, such as HPV, mononucleosis, and even crabs.

The song's playful tone and exaggerated medical jargon serve to entertain and amuse the listener, while also paying homage to the classic Dr. Mario video game. Brentalfloss's comedic style shines through in the lyrics, making "Dr. Mario" a lighthearted and enjoyable parody that both fans of the game and those unfamiliar with it can appreciate. The song ultimately underscores the idea that laughter is the best medicine, and Dr. Mario is here to deliver it in spades.
