    Ok, so this was interesting and all, but I can’t get past the music. I know it’s Boaters and Blazers by Paul Mottram, but all I can picture is the character from the Orisinal game, Sunny Day Sky, jumping on cars.

      It seemed a bad fit, and not sure why it had to play all the way through. But liked the video otherwise.
