Look at it! Look at it! LOOK AT IT!

OK, I should have additionally specified "while wearing a walkman and having odd pouted lips."
As for who's to blame....

And here, Mario's quote is what ruins the whole thing (which is otherwise a pretty epic picture, at the very least by the standards of this book. Bowser's stature notwithstanding). There are some things that just don't need to be said. Song title or not. Anyways the song itself sounds more like it's talking about drugs.

I wouldn't be surprised if White Knuckle Scorin' was the single thing to persuade NOA to stop licencing out the franchise to anyone who asked.

FOR THE LOVE OF TOAD, WHAT IS "SONG CUE" SUPPOSED TO MEAN
Click to expand...

the screenshots are from a comic booklet that came with a music cd called White Knuckle Scorin'. 'song cue' means that its time to listen to whatever song was just name-dropped in the comic (in the above case, 'Turn On')
only one song, Ignorance Is Bliss, was made specifically for the album (it was also used for a newsgrounds animation which i think was fairly popular back in the day). all the other songs i believe are just random licensed songs that have nothing to do with mario
 
White Knuckle Scorin' was a song album of.....completely random songs (only one of which was actually Mario-themed, that had this little tie-in comic that attempted to make some sort of narration out of it all. "Song Cue" meant play whatever song's title was just said. The whole thing was intended to promote literacy. Somehow. Despite the odd random grammar quirks (like shifting from phonetic spelling to overly-complex words to French words at any given time) in the comic and the fact that more than a few of the songs had poor grammar, not to mention how some of the bands even had misspelled names. And some were not the kinds of bands that should have songs on a childrens' album by any means.

The best song was called "Ouch."

There is no song in the album called "Ouch."
