An impassioned ballad about the unrequited love between an anthropomorphic turtle and the princess of Mushroom Kingdom.
An impassioned ballad about the unrequited love between an anthropomorphic turtle and the princess of Mushroom Kingdom is shaping up to be a dark horse for Song of the Summer. With The Super Marios Bros. Movie crushing it at the box office, Jack Black’s “Peaches” has emerged as an unexpected viral sensation. Sung by his character Bowser about Anya Taylor-Joy’s Princess Peach, the piano ballad currently sits in the top 10 of the iTunes streaming charts, while its accompanying video was the fourth most viewed clip on YouTube Music this weekend.
The video, directed by Cole Bennett of Lyrical Lemonade, stars Black dressed in a Bowser-inspired outfit, playing a peach-colored Ludwig piano and dancing inside of a mushroom hut. Watch the video along with a behind-the-scenes clip below.
