So long as video games exist, let there be nostalgia-inducing remixes of the Super Mario Bros theme; preferably good ones like the above. Listen in as Greg Patillo covers the venerable classic in beatbox flutist form. Just don't forget to breathe.
[Thanks to Jack for unearthing this one.]

A Joystiq article linking to an infendo article from earlier on the same day, of a video that was already shown at nintendowiifanboy.com and dsfanboy.com yesterday, all linking to a YouTube video from December 17th. This video's making the rounds.

Yeah Kassus,
instead of that guy wasting his time learning a skill he could've been sitting around watching football. Because that's what straight guys do.
That video was rad.

neversage is right. This guys got some fucking talent. Say what you will, that may look "gay" to you, but I'd like to see you try to do that shit. Then we'll see how "gay" it is. Or are you just too "manly" to even attempt this in the first place?

it'd be nice if he's gay, he's pretty cute (should shave the stach). i'm gay and the whole "calling things gay because you think they're stupid" is.. pretty gay, but.. straight guys are usually pretty dumb like that. great video! maybe not the best beatboxing topaz, but he IS playing the flute at the same time

Uhhh, Ben? There was no person named Jethro Tull in Jethro Tull. You are speaking of Ian Anderson, and some of his on stage antics could be construed as a little fruity.

Are you kidding? Flute Hero would go to the Wii; because it's just not a gay enough console yet.

So basically the only "safe" instrument for straight guys to play is electric guitar or electric bass, right? Because anything else is like totally gay. Amirite?
