Is “Peaches” from “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” one of the first Oscars original song contenders of the year? The ultimate power ballad, sung by Jack Black as the evil Bowse…
as the evil Bowser, will be eligible to submit for best original song consideration at the Oscars, Universal has confirmed to“Peaches” is all about Bowser’s unrequited love. And the subject of his adoration? Princess Peach , who is the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. The song is co-written by Black, the film’s directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, as well as Eric Osmond and John Spiker.
In the movie, Bowser is sitting at his piano belting out the ballad. He sings, “Peach, you’re so cool And with my star we’re gonna rule. Peach, understand, I’m gonna love you ’til the very end. Princess Peach, at the end of the line, I’ll make you mine.” The chorus is Bowser hilariously singing “Peaches” in various keys. He continues, “Mario, Luigi, and a Donkey Kong, too. A thousand troops of Koopas couldn’t keep me from you.
Since the music video was released on April 7, it has received over 5 million views on YouTube and is currently No. 2 on the trending page for music. Watch a clip from the movie below, released by Universal Monday morning.
