Madonna, Daddy Yankee, Mariah Carey Classics Added to Library of Congress’ Recording Registry Queen Latifah's debut album, John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 'Imagine,' and the Super Mario Bros. theme song were also selected for special preservation. Story:
theme is maybe the most intriguing addition as it helps expand the National Recording Registry’s purview to include video games for the first time. Kondo, who still works for Nintendo, recalled pulling from “all sorts of genres” to match “what was happening on the screen,” as he told the Library of Congress in a recent interview.
“We had jingles to encourage players to try again after getting a ‘game over,’ fanfares to congratulate them for reaching goals, and pieces that sped up when the time remaining grew short.” He added, “Having this music preserved alongside so many other classic songs is such a great honor. It’s actually a little bit difficult to believe.”
