Mario Movie Jack Black Song 'Peaches' Debuts On Billboard's Hot 100 Chart

Jack is such a legend man, there is no length he wouldn’t go to to make his character go above and beyond

This song is stupid catchy. I catch myself at work muttering "Peach, you're so cool..."

It better hit 100 and win song of the year and win an Oscar and become the national anthem in every country and

Question : Are you still singing this song?

Me : Eh... No. 😅

I hope we get a full musical score in the sequel!

This was inevitable.

@burgerkingsauce 100 is bad lol. #1 is better

I don't really get the hype around this "song" when it's really more of a musical gag that gets interrupted before being anything...

@Dark_Isatari It’s being forced on us. The song is actually cringey. I cringed in the theater watching this scene.

Watched the movie yesterday and the song is stuck in my head, singing peaches x5 while going home 😅

I still don't know why peaches? why the plural form?

Google the Billboard hot 100... This song might not be great, but it's better than the junk in the top 10

When I saw that bowser sung "Peaches," I thought that was hilarious.

When I found out that it wasn't the song by the presidents of the United States, (millions of peaches, peaches for me. . .), I was no longer particularly enthused.

I'm biased due to my expectations, but I wasn't impressed with bowser's peaches.

That was not the greatest song in the world, no.

... it was a fun gag in the movie. Worth the 2 minutes in the film, and the chuckles with friends and coworkers the following Monday morning.

But this is NOT Billboard Top 100 material.

@NinjaNicky Honestly the worst songs in that ranking are #1 and #2 it could be worse

People realize though this song didn't chart cause of being in the movie per se. It chatted because it got viral. TikTok doesn't directly contribute to the charts, but the song had around a million streams on Spotify, with key placements in several official viral internet playlists.

It's just missing 80s anthem guitars Ala the Scorpions. Make it a power ballad!!!!

@Browny by defintion you're wrong, considering it has charted.

You may not like it, but you can't change facts.

I'm not the type of person who generally tosses shade on things, especially subjective things clearly not made for me ... but it makes me sad this is getting so much hype. Not because it's a bad thing people like it, but because this song doesn't hold a candle to the WORST Tenacious D song.

It's gotta sting knowing that your musically legacy might end up being a thing you pounded out off the top of your head on a piano that just happened to be on set in a single take and not the incredible work you did in the past.

I also feel crazy bad for "The Presidents of the Untied States" for no longer holding the honor of being the band that did "that peaches song"

When a Mario Movie song wins an Oscar before a new F-Zero game drops…

I really can't wait until Nintendo moves on from "Giant Turtle Dragon obsessively attacks Human looking princess to force her to marry him". It's gross and continues to be gross. I just want him to go back to wanting to destroy/"rule" the mushroom kingdom because he is destructive and power hungry. People have got to stop romanticizing violence against women as a means to convey romantic affection. That mess is hecka creepy.

Edit: after seeing the movie it was worse that I expected. It was basically fatal attraction male edition for kids. If he had tried to invade the mushroom kingdom and Brooklyn (much like the live action movie… never thought I would be say this) it would have been a better use of his character. Instead of the creepshow Peach had to deal with.

@Ryu_Niiyama what are you talking about?? Bowser is literally the villain, there’s no romanticizing in this. It’s also a children’s movie cmon

@Motherlodeman oh yea that’s what I meant lol

@burgerkingsauce have you not heard the song or played a mario game recently? It was literally the plot of Odyssey. And kids movies stuff inappropriate content in all the time. So what are you talking about?

@JohnnyMind and your point? I still think it is gross and that he should go back to being a power hungry villain. “He’s a villain “ isn’t an excuse to rely on such tropes. And I am still going to react to it the same.

@JohnnyMind why lean on it as a crutch? I’m glad you find predatory behavior entertaining. Even moreso when it is spun as a positive like in this music video.

I don’t. Hence my saying so. So again, I can’t wait until they drop the stalker aspect to Bowser’s personally and just make him power hungry again.

I saw the movie last night. It was fine, but all the hype around this song is a bit odd since it's like 30 seconds long.

@JohnnyMind I merely responded to your unsolicited comments based on what you said (which had very little to do with my initial comment anyway because you tried to spin things off and I maintained my stance throughout). But I appreciate you moving on. And yes like I said from the start, I would rather Bowser be power hungry than a stalker so thank you for finally getting that.

@Ryu_Niiyama what I mean by “it’s a children’s movie” is that you’re really over analyzing something that was probably not thought for more than 5 seconds by anyone else. And yeah, Odyssey is one of my favourite games of all time. he’s a VILLAIN is doing something VILLAINOUS. Just wait until you hear what villains in M rated games do

@burgerkingsauce I am not over analyzing anything. Children’s movies are written by adults and are used to normalize subjects that are not necessarily appropriate for children. While subjects may be deflected to not draw too much attention to their implications they are still there and I am still gonna react to them. Same as I did when I was a child.

I grew up on Disney movies all which have subject matter which honestly isn’t appropriate for kids but is masked but it doesn’t change the tone. Jafar’s severely old self putting Princess Jasmine in a red slave girl’s outfit doesn’t diminish his intent just because Aladdin shows up or because a child may not think to ask about that scene (I did ask my parents about that scene). If romantic dynamics are neutral in kids movies then nobody that is ok with stalker bowser should bat an eye at the married lesbians that shared a kiss in Lightyear. Yet they do because people know that these are romantic behaviors being depicted in a kids movie…only difference is unwanted male advances are considered more positive than a consensual stable same sex marriage. As people look at bowser’s behavior as cute or harmless when it isn’t. That stalker aspect has been part of his character for years and I am gonna voice my opinion that it’s creepy.

If you think I am over analyzing that’s on you, I am still going to react to scenes and actions that I find creepy and not normalize that it is ok to express attraction in such a way. Just because you find it acceptable doesn’t mean I have to. I’ve already gone rounds earlier with one person that didn’t like me expressing my opinion so sadly my usual patience for discourse is gone. My opinion remains unchanged. You are welcome to not like it but I will still express my opinion. Have a nice day.

@JohnnyMind lol thanks, this argument is rotting my brain
