A YouTuber analyzed the song “Peaches,” sung by Jack Black in the new Super Mario movie. There is a certain resemblance to a well-known internet prank. Fans agree: Jack Black has fooled us all.
The song “Peaches” in the new Super Mario movie is celebrated by many online. Sung by Jack Black as the video game villain Bowser, the love ballad has captured the hearts of fans.
A music expert recently took a closer look at the song and found a parallel to another track. Now many in the community suspect a clever prank hidden within the song and believe: Jack Black has rickrolled us all!
Here you can see a trailer for the new Super Mario movie:
A “Rickroll” could be hiding in the harmony of the song
A Rickroll is an internet meme where an inconspicuous link hides the music video for Rick Astley’s song “Never Gonna Give You Up.” If an unsuspecting target clicks on the link, they have been successfully “rickrolled.”
Now many fans suspect a hidden “Rickroll” in Bowser’s song. The reason for this is an analysis by a YouTuber.
The music expert Charles Cornell published a YouTube video titled “Peaches by Jack Black is ironically really good” on April 13, 2023. In this, he analyzes the successful song from the Super Mario movie and plays some passages on the piano. He explains in detail which chords are used in the song.
As a result, many in the community recognize the resemblance to “Never Gonna Give You Up.”
In a TikTok video from marecmi, the theory is summarized:
Within a chord, the hidden reference to the internet meme is believed to exist. Many from the community think they noticed the similarity between the two songs immediately.
Many now suspect that the “Rickroll” intent was a little prank. Especially since Jack Black is regarded as a humorous actor in the community, he is exactly the right person for such a stunt.
Jack Black has already proven to have good gaming taste:
How is the community reacting? In the comments on the TikTok video and on YouTube, many users agree: The similarity to the internet meme cannot be a coincidence. They celebrate a clever prank by Jack Black:
- TikTok user anna.skywalker.2006: “Jack Black, who rickrolled the Mario fandom, was not on my bingo card for 2023”
- TikTok user SamuraiDragon27: “The most hidden Rick Roll in history”
- YouTube user Rotuh: “This chord progression is phenomenal, it really tells you that Bowser will never give her up [in English: never gonna give her up].”
So far, however, there has been no official statement on whether the song is indeed about the best-placed Rickroll of the year or just a simple musical decision.
