‘Super Mario Bros.’ theme first video game music deemed musically significant by Library of Congress

Add another milestone to the critic proof Super Mario Bros. Movie – the film’s music will be catalogued at the United States Library of Congress. This is the first time in the history of the Library that video game music is being added for posterity. Pretty cool.

Fittingly, the theme to the original 8-bit game on the original Nintendo Entertainment System is the first video game track to be added, as well as one of 25 tracks being catalogued. This means Mario music will now live alongside other culturally-relevant hits, including Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’,” Ricky Martin’s “Livin’ La Vida Loca,” Wu-Tang Clan’s 1993 classic “Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers),” and “Songs in A Minor” by Alicia Keys.
