Rainbow Road

About

From the Youtube Account RhymesWithStomach comes this hilarious video of the Madison Wisconsin based stand-up comic Mark Krump singing to the Rainbow Road audio track from Mario Kart: Double Dash. Released in February 20, 2008, this video is his tear-jerking tribute to his beloved uncle Walter.

According to the Youtube channel, creators of RhymesWithStomach are ranked “in order of who is better: The amazing Chris Waelti, the competent Adam Waldron, the passable Mike Schmidt, and the total shithead idiot-box Mark Kump (who incidentally, does most of the work).”

An Mp3 of the song can be found <a href=http://www.garageband.com/song?|pe1|S8LTM0LdsaSjZ1WyYGs

Because the video was simply titled “Rainbow Road” it now shows up as the first result in a Youtube search for “Rainbow Road” as sorted by relevence. In other words, part of the video’s success is likely due to the optimized title, in addition to the WTF factor of the content.

Derivatives

The video alone wouldn’t be considered a meme, had it not been for all the responses; most of which took the form of Youtube Poop.
