Show Time Pollyanna

The singing gave me goosebumps; not the good kind.

I can’t help but imagine a Mother musical.

Is that Catherine Warwick singing it? Sounds like her.

Ah, yes, Mother, the early 90s sitcom.

Wil – probably not since it’s obvious that English is not the native language of whoever is singing.

Poe, Japanese kids learn English in Kindergarten, but it might be a higher grade than that.

I’m pretty sure this was done by Low-tech Son – the same group that did the jazz thing that Mato posted earlier.

Crashpro – the point I was making is that English is Catherine Warwick’s native language, meaning she wouldn’t have the accent of whoever was singing on that MP3.

I heard this on youtube a long time ago…I strongly dislike this version. As far as I’m concerned the 8-bit version is better…

JeffMan is correct. This is done by Low-Tech Son. Love this group, and I love this song. 🙂 Here’s their website: http://lowtechson.com/index.html

I heard this somewhere before. I hate the singing lol the girl is so bad… especially with the high parts of the song @_@

@PSInesslove93 I used to think the same. But broken English singing by Japanese people kinda grew on me. 😀 Except a lot of the Pollyanna covers I find on Nico Nico Douga. :-\

Yeah , there’s a video on nico nico which says this was done by lowtechson.

Oh! I’ve been looking for a stereo MP3 of this for ages…all I had was a mono thing I stole off YouTube.

Thanks for posting this!

sounds like a show opening for an old japanese cartoon!

Wow, why on earth is there so much hate for this version? It’s probably my favorite out of the one million differnet Pollyannas. :/ I think the singing is wonderful, the harmonies are nice, and it really makes me want someone to come out and say…

“MOTHER is filmed in front of a live studio audience in Long Beach, California”

Yeah, it’s a little excessive how much hate it’s getting. It may not be fantastic, but it’s certainly not terrible. I find it really frickin’ catchy.

Where DID the lyrics come from. I always assumed they were fan-created since it would seem odd for someone to write lyrics to a song in an 8-bit Nintendo game. The only other place I can imagine them coming from is if Pollyanna was an original song that was licensed into the game, which, again, seems odd for a Nintendo game.

Unless it’s in the same realm as “Three Blind Mice,” in which case I wonder why I’ve never heard of it before…

I love this verison. I don’t see why everyone hates it.

And Pak-Man, the lyracs from Pollyanna came from MOTHER’s origianl soundtrack released in Japan.

@Pac-Man

the lyrics came from the Mother official soundtrack, which is also where the flying man song comes from (from the song on the CD called “Flying man”). the style of the Mother 2 magicant song comes from this too, i think.

oh, and so does one of the parts from the Mother 2 game over screen, which is also from the “flying man” song.

Pak-Man: Well your assumptions are idiotic. Do you suppose back in 1989 when the Mother Vocal album was released (never heard of that, did you? Guess not) they said to themselves “Gee, we want to write lyrics to these songs but who would write lyrics to an 8-bit Nintendo game?”

NO. Read up on the Mother Vocal album and stop talking about what you know nothing about. Fan-created? You are the first and I hope last EB fan to be so ignorant, I hope.

Gee guise, Well I always assoomed that that their polyana song was fan-crittered! Shucks, I never woulda thought that them chinese woulda made a album of songs based offa 8-bit Nintendy games! What’s next, movie adaptions? Ya’ll’re blowin’ my mind here!

Wow, listening to this vocalist made me have an earache.
I’m a singer, so listening to this somewhat inspired me to write different lyrics (because her vocals were VERY rushed). It would be cool to sing a fan piece.

😀

Why be such a jerk, Matt? The guy was just asking a question, not presuming to know more than he does, and most people probably don’t know that songs from Mother have lyrics. Unfortunately, I know you’re not the first nor the last obsessive nerd to become exceedingly rude over minor details.

Had a hunch this was done by Low-tech Son as Jeffman points out…

It slightly reminds me of a couple songs from the band Komeda only it’s faster, jazzier and Japanese.

Sounds like some kind of cheesy 90’s sitcom.

Earthbound: The hit off-Broadway Musical!

Sounds like Katamari Damacy mixed with Pollyanna.

I didnt like the singing. It is better without it.

I think the singing and performance is what made this one of the best covers out there.

Kinda surprised by the hate, here. Lame.

Glad you found hte lowtechson version– if I religiously watched this blog, I’m sure I could’ve identified it for you 🙂

i remember seing this on yurugu3’s (the scource for awesome mother/earthbound japanese stuff)youtube channel. maybe he made it for nico nico douga but i don’t know. it surely sounds neat…and weird at the same time

Best Pollyanna remix EVER.

XD mother the musical of the game XD XD

This version of the song sounds like it came out of a 80’s sitcom like Growing Pains

It’s a bit too peppy for my liking.
