Spread the Cheer (MS4 Version, No Score)

Leo the Tiger 2025-10-20 | "Spread the Cheer" is an original composition I wrote for hand bells to test out the new sound font with MuseScore. MuseScore's website, however, is having issues converting our scores to YouTube videos, but if (and if so, when) they get that fixed, I will post a video of the score itself. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

Piano Solo: Big Island (Super Mario Bros. 3 - World 4 Map BGM)

Leo the Tiger 2025-10-20 | This simple piano solo of mine is my take on the world map music for World 4 of the original Super Mario Bros. 3, Big Island. Here, Mario has to deal with pipes and enemies that are ten to 100 times as big as he is.

Hymn: How Firm a Foundation

Leo the Tiger 2025-10-19 | "How Firm a Foundation" has become one of my favorite hymns in this day and age, especially with how crazy our world has gotten right now. It helps us understand that God will never desert us, even in the worst of times. How much more is it then that we shall give the glory back to Him?

I accidentally added more instruments then I wanted, but decided to keep them in, and so the instrument lineup is as follows:

Sax section (alto, tenor baritone)
Glockenspiel
Vibraphone
Xylophone
Marimba (grand staff)
Piano (accompaniment)
Hand bells

Also, my apologies for leaving it in concert pitch. I used to always do that, but was trying to get out of the habit when people started asking why the notes were wrong. Here, I just forgot to turn it off. However, I'll leave it as is; the point is to enjoy the music and glorify the Lord.

I will later upload an updated version of this with MuseScore 4.6.1; that time I remembered to turn concert pitch off.

Piano Duet: Sky Chase Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog 2)

Leo the Tiger 2025-10-19 | This is my simplified piano duet arrangement of "Sky Chase Zone" from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. This is the level where Tails flies the Tornado, his trusty plane, to lead Sonic to the powerful battleships of Dr. Robotnik's fleet he encounters afterwards in "Wing Fortress Zone." If playing as Tails alone, however, Sonic flies the plane. (I don't remember ever seeing Sonic fly a plane anywhere else in the franchise; do you?)

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (Mary Poppins)

Leo the Tiger 2025-10-18 | Written for saxophone quartet and piano, this is my simplified take on another very famous song from the masterpiece that is Mary Poppins (as in the 1964 Disney film), "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." Let's be honest; it was and is the best nonsense word ever created.

Jeopardy! (Theme): Hand Bells Arrangement

Leo the Tiger 2025-10-18 | An update of my original piano arrangement of Merv Griffin's theme for Jeopardy!, "Think," but with hand bells playing the song instead of a piano. The purpose of doing this was also made to test out the new hand bell sound font available on MuseSounds. NOTE: MuseScore's website at the moment isn't letting us convert our scores into YouTube videos; I hope that they get that fixed. Once they do, I will post the video with the score. For now, this is how we'll have to make do with what we got. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

Hymn: How Firm a Foundation (MS4 Version, No Score)

Leo the Tiger 2025-10-18 | A MS4 update of my arrangement of one of my favorite hymns, "How Firm a Foundation."

Piano Solo: In the Clouds (Super Mario Bros. 3)

Leo the Tiger 2025-10-13 | This is a simple piano arrangement I made for a track from Super Mario Bros. 3, "In the Clouds." This plays after Mario (or Luigi) has found a red music note box; jumping on it sends our heroes high into the clouds for a bonus area where loads of coins can be collected.

Seven Nation Army (The White Stripes)

Leo the Tiger 2025-10-11 | Sometimes when I can't get a song out of my head, I make an arrangement of it. That's why I did "Song 2" by Blur, and here, for the same reasons, I've done the song "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes. The way I've done it, though, is for the following:

Sax section (alto, tenor, baritone; tenor has melody)
2 glockenspiels (octave apart)
Vibraphone
Drum set
Piano
2 electric guitars
Bass guitar

This arrangement © me and me alone
Original music © The White Stripes (Jack White, Meg White, as composers), and labels V2, XL, and Third Man (and anybody else who owns the rights to this song); I own nothing. This was made purely for enjoyment and for the beauty of writing musical scores.

The Munsters (Season 1 Theme)

Leo the Tiger 2025-10-07 | Written as a simple duet for baritone saxophone and piano, this is my take on the Season 1 theme for the television show "The Munsters." I had previously done the Season 2 theme as a Halloween special for my YouTube channel, and for this year, I'm doing Season 1. It will debut on Halloween (Oct. 31).

Metropolis Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog 2)

Leo the Tiger 2025-10-06 | My take on the music for Metropolis Zone in the game Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Up to this point, each zone has only 2 acts to it, but this one has three. The following zones afterwards (Sky Chase Zone, Wing Fortress Zone, Death Egg Zone) have only one act each.

My version is for:

B-flat clarinet
Sax section (soprano, alto, tenor, baritone)
B-flat trumpet
Trombone
Glockenspiel
Vibraphone
Drum set
Tambourine
Piano
Electric guitar
Bass guitar

Hymn: The Solid Rock

Leo the Tiger 2025-10-05 | Sometimes if I have writer's block for an arrangement or composition, it helps to open the hymnbook and just do a good old-fashioned hymn; hymns, after all, are God's sacred promises set to music, the best thing He ever invented. This one is one of my favorites, "The Solid Rock." It is for the usual lineup of instruments I use for my hymnal arrangements:

Sax section (alto, tenor, baritone)
Glockenspiel
Vibraphone
Marimba
Piano (accompaniment)

Spread the Cheer (Original Composition)

Leo the Tiger 2025-10-03 | An original composition of mine for hand bells. This was originally written to test the new sound font Muse Sounds just added to MuseScore, which is for hand bells, but the site is having issues; it isn't letting you convert scores at the moment if you're using the updated MuseScore 4.6.0. As a result, I had to rewrite it for the older version 3. However, I will post the 4 version once the issue is fixed.

Piano Solo: Password Screen (World Championship Wrestling, NES Game)

Leo the Tiger 2025-10-02 | Although I was never a wrestling fan due to my religious beliefs and uprising, I have been known to look at YouTube videos of old-school wrestling video games from time to time. One such game is World Championship Wrestling (or WCW Wrestling), based on what was once upon a time the chief competitor to the WWE (then WWF), WCW. The song I've done from the soundtrack to that game (done as a simplified piano solo) is the music for the password screen.

The game s a Nintendo Entertainment System professional wrestling video game that was originally released in Japan in 1989 under the name Super Star Pro Wrestling, with a different lineup of wrestlers. It was later released in North America in 1990 with a more familiar lineup of wrestlers.

It was the first (and, to date, only) video game based on the National Wrestling Alliance (at the time, WCW was a member of NWA). After The Road Warriors left WCW for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), and subsequently changed their name to "Legion of Doom," WCW continued to advertise the game in their own catalogs with a mock-up cartridge showing Sting on the label, though no such copies of the game with an alternate label are known to exist or believed to have ever been manufactured. To date, the game has sold over 100,000 copies.

Shortnin Bread (for Beginners Piano)

Leo the Tiger 2025-10-01 | "Shortnin' Bread" (also spelled "Shortenin' Bread", "Short'nin' Bread", or "Sho'tnin' Bread") is an American folk song dating back at least to 1900, when James Whitcomb Riley published it as a poem. While there is speculation that Riley may have based his poem on an earlier African-American plantation song, no definitive evidence of such an origin has yet been uncovered. A "collected" version of the song was published by E. C. Perrow in 1915. It is song number 4209 in the Roud Folk Song Index.

Shortening bread refers to a bread made of corn meal, with or without flour and lard shortening.

This is my beginner's piano arrangement of that, just employing the chorus.

Piano Solo: Route 1 (Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow)

The Ropers (TV Theme)

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-24 | The Ropers is an American sitcom television series that aired on ABC from March 13, 1979, to May 15, 1980. It is a spin-off of Three's Company and loosely based on the British sitcom George and Mildred, which was itself a spin-off of Man About the House, on which Three's Company was based.

It was taped at CBS Television City in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles, where its parent series, Three's Company, was taping at the time, from February to April 1979 (Season 1) and from July 1979 to February 1980 (Season 2). The show focuses on Stanley and Helen Roper, who were the landlords to the trio in Three's Company, before they sold the apartment complex and moved to an upstate townhosue in upmarket Cheviot Hills. This puts them at odds with their neighbors, the Brookes family; husband Jeffery is a snobbish realtor that butts heads with Stanley often, while his wife, Anne, does become friendly with Helen. They have a son, David, who is always tempted to bother Stanley, which his dad does not show approval of at any time.

I have attempted to do a take on the first of two theme songs here. This arrangement is for:

B-flat clarinet
Trumpet
Sax section (alto, tenor, baritone)
Trombone
Guitar
Piano
Bass
Drum set
Timpani (for effect)
Glockenspiel

Garry Owen (Fife and Drum): Synthesizer Version

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-23 | I decided to go ahead and do an EMU Proetus 2 synthesizer take of my arrangement of the traditional Irish air "Garry Owen" (also spelled as one word, "Garryowen"). The drum orchestration is slightly different, though. This is also a gift for @NewBlueMario1016 .

My Plinko board, Ep. 2

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-22 | Today was the Season 54 premiere of The Price is Right, so to celebrate, I dragged out my Plinko board and dropped all 5 chips. This video was filmed with my smartphone.

Piano Solo: Graf Eberhard-Marsch

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-22 | Although I've done it as a piano solo, this is a German military march entitled "Graf Eberhard-Marsch." It was written to commemorate Eberhard I (13 March 1265, in Stuttgart – 5 June 1325, in Stuttgart), who served as Count of Württemberg from 1279 until his death. He was nicknamed 'der Erlauchte' or the Illustrious Highness.

Piano Duet: TUGS (Theme)

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-19 | This is my piano duet arrangement of the theme tune to Tugs (stylized as TUGS), a British television series produced by Tugs Ltd., for Television South (TVS) and Clearwater Features Ltd.[1] and first broadcast on ITV from 4 April to 27 June 1989. It was created by Robert D. Cardona and David Mitton, who had previously produced the first two series of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends. Set in the Roaring Twenties, the series focuses on the adventures of two anthropomorphized tugboat fleets, the Star Fleet and the Z-Stacks, who compete against each other in the fictional Bigg City Port: "the biggest harbor in the world."

The theme tune and incidental music was composed by Junior Campbell and Mike O'Donnell, who also wrote the music for Thomas & Friends (from 1984 to 2003).

Despite a second series being planned, when TVS Television lost its franchise to Meridian Broadcasting, the series did not continue production past 13 episodes. Following the initial airing of the series throughout 1989, television rights were sold to an unknown party, while some models and sets from the series were sold to Britt Allcroft. Modified set props and tugboat models were used in Thomas & Friends from 1991 onwards, with footage from the original program being heavily dubbed and edited for use in the American children's series Salty's Lighthouse (which I have also done the theme for).

After Clearwater's liquidation in 1990, Mitton joined The Britt Allcroft Company to continue working on Thomas & Friends in 1991, while Cardona went on to direct Theodore Tugboat, a similarly natured series set in Canada. All thirteen episodes of the show were released on VHS between 1988 and 1990.

Shavings (1975 Wheel of Fortune Prize Cue)

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-18 | Re-post due to technical difficulties in the form of a mistake I made on the score; it is correct now. Sorry about that, folks; I am only human.

Before Merv Griffin started writing his own music for his greatest creation, Wheel of Fortune, Alan Thicke (whom you might know if you're familiar with the sitcom Growing Pains) was the man doing the music for America's Game. This short ditty is one of his prize cues, entitled "Shavings."

My arrangement is for:

Sax section (tenor and baritone)
B-flat trumpet
Trombone
Vibraphone
Piano
Drum set
Bass guitar
Electric guitar

Roundball Rock (NBA on NBC Theme): 2025 Piano Solo Version

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-15 | This is a 2025 update of a previous arrangement.

This is my attempt to do a piano solo rendition of the iconic song "Roundball Rock" by John Test, famously used as the NBA on NBC theme from 1991 to 2002. More recently, NBC began using it again during certain coverage of basketball in the Olympic Games, and since 2018, it has also been used as the theme for CBB on FOX (that network's coverage of NCAA college basketball). Starting in the fall of this year, 2025, NBC is once again broadcasting NBA games, and this song is returning with it!

I did it as a piano solo, however. I also consider this to be the greatest sports theme ever written.

Roundball Rock: youtube.com/watch?v=0Pnl1ulaG5k

EDITS: Fixed a few mistakes regarding tied notes and notes that shouldn't have been tied. Also used MuseScore 4 for the updates, not 3. Later still, changed the way the first and second endings are done, because it still sounded wrong to me. Now it is correct.

I deleted the previous updated version due to the fact it still sounded wrong. However, I'm going to leave the first attempt I did with MuseScore 3 up and running because it has over 4,000 views to date (and counting).

Mickey Mouse Funhouse (Theme)

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-14 | My take on the theme tune to the animated series "Mickey Mouse Funhouse," completing the trilogy of Disney Jr. shows starring the Sensational Six (Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Pluto). meet Funny, an enchanted and energetic talking funhouse who resides in the Funhouse Forest outside of Hot Dog Hills, alongside his pet doghouse Teddy and a sentient weathervane named Windy.

After Mickey and his friends (who are sometimes referred to as the "Funhouse Friends") climb the Stairs to Anywhere, Funny magically transports them from the Adventure Doors to a range of Adventure Worlds, which allows them to embark on adventures unique to the Adventure Worlds. These include (but aren't limited to) Majestica, Sunny Gulch, Halloweenville, the Adventure Sea Islands, the Land of Myth and Legend, and Herotropolis, as they assume the outfits associated with each of the Adventure Worlds. It is in these Adventure Worlds where they also meet its inhabitants and alter-egos of characters they know. In addition, they also learn some morals regarding the episode's content, as Funny would manifest a trophy to remember their trip afterwards.

Every episode includes one or two dance breaks. With the exception of half-hour specials, there is a "Stretch Break" dance that occurs in between the two segments of the episodes. At the end of each episode including the specials, the characters dance along to the "Wiggle Giggle" song.

My arrangement is for:

Sax section (soprano, alto, tenor, baritone)
2 electric guitars
Acoustic guitar
Bass guitar
Large drum kit
Tambourine

Arrangement: The 7D (Theme)

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-13 | Written for saxophone quartet (soprano, alto, tenor, baritone), glockenspiel, and piano, this is my simplified take on the main theme tune to the animated television series "The 7D." The show itself is a re-imagining of the Seven Dwarfs (Doc, Sneezy, Sleepy, Bashful, Grumpy, Happy, and Dopey). Snow White is nowhere to be found; instead, the dwarfs are protectors of Jollywood, ruled by Queen Delightful, which is constantly under attack from a warlock and witch, a husband and wife named Grim and Hildy Gloom, who want the kingdom for themselves.

Ding Dong Bell (for Beginners Piano)

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-10 | Another of my beginner's piano arrangements; this one is "Ding Dong Bell." It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 12853.

The nursery rhyme tells the story of a naughty boy who throws a cat into a well. The rhyme starts with the sound of bells ringing (“Ding Dong Bell”) to grab attention. It then describes how the cat was thrown into the well by a mischievous child (often named Johnny Green), but is later rescued by a kind boy (Tommy Stout). The rhyme serves as a moral lesson, teaching children not to be cruel to animals and that such actions are wrong. The rescue part emphasizes kindness and taking responsibility to correct bad actions.

A variation of this song also appears in the cartoon "Naughty But Mice," a 1947 cartoon by Paramount Pictures and Famous Studios as part of their Noveltoons series. (Think of this as their version of Looney Tunes.)

Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures (Theme)

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-09 | This is my take on theme tune used when the Disney Jr. television show "Mickey and the Roadster Racers" (alternatively known as "Mickey Mouse Roadster Racers") changed its name to "Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures." I decided to mix it up myself (pun intended) with the way I approached this arrangement, but I may have gone a little bit nuts. Who knows?

This arrangement is for:

Sax section (soprano, alto, tenor, baritone)
Large drum kit
Piano
2 electric guitars
Acoustic guitar
Bass guitar

NOTES: the tenor sax has the main sung melody, while the soprano and alto sax represent the spoken parts of the song, including when Mickey greets the viewers at the start.

This third season also re-introduced the "Hot Dog Dance" song from "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" and all the tropes associated with it.

Mickey and the Roadster Racers (Theme)

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-08 | "Mickey and the Roadster Racers" was the television series that premiered following the conclusion of the original "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" on Disney, Jr. It was later re-titled "Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures" for its third and final season, with a totally different theme, both of which were written by Beau Black. This is the first of those two themes.

Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures centers around the Sensational Six (Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Daisy, and Pluto) as they live and race around their town of Hot Dog Hills and around the world. Unlike the previous series, this show contains two 11-minute stories as opposed to Clubhouse's full-length 22-minute stories.

In the first half, Billy Beagle (voiced by Jay Leno, appropriately) commentates on Mickey and his friends' races, whether the race is in Hot Dog Hills or somewhere else around the world. In the second half, Minnie and Daisy work as the Happy Helpers alongside Cuckoo-Loca (from Minnie's Bow-Toons) where they help out different residents of Hot Dog Hills. Minnie and Daisy use the Turnstyler located in the office and the Happy Helper Van to assume the clothes associated with their jobs that they are hired to help out on.

In Season 2, the Roadster Racers get their roadsters modified by Ludwig Von Drake so they can become Super-charged. The theme song was also altered near the end for the Super-charged part.

In Season 3, Mickey builds a mixed-up motor lab that mixes up and transforms cars. In between segments and before the credits, the show starts to use a remix of the classic "Hot Dog" song originally written and performed by They Might Be Giants for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

My arrangement is for:

Tenor saxophone
3 electric guitars (one lead, one heavy, one clean; this is how the Muse Sounds font defines them)
Acoustic guitar
Drum kit
Bass guitar

Piano Solo: Whew! (Closing Theme)

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-07 | A while back, I wrote a piano arrangement to the opening theme for the classic television game show "Whew!", which was written by the legendary Alan Thicke. I finally got around to doing the closing theme, but I've also done it as a piano solo.

Piano Solo: Pallet Town (Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow/Green)

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-05 | This is my piano solo arrangement of the melody for Pallet Town, as heard in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow. (NOTE: in Japan, there was a Pokémon Green; the green was changed to blue for North America. Thus, I included all four colors in the title bar.)

The Price is Right: Consolation Prizes (Track 37)

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-04 | This is my piano solo arrangement for another prize cue from "The Price is Right," although I may have the title wrong; the YouTube video I used to help me make it listed it as "Track 37." What I do know for sure is that this used to play when the cameras would show the three players that were not able to make it on stage, and the announcer would show the prizes they received just for being chosen. (Today, it's a small cash prize such as $300, and so George Gray doesn't say anything about it on camera.)

It will debut on my YouTube channel on September 4, the show's anniversary date. (The show began in 1972 and was called "The New Price is Right" to distinguish it from the 1950s-60s version that was hosted by the dean of game show hosts, Bill Cullen. It proved popular enough in its own right, however, that the producers chose to drop the word "New.") I've also discovered that with the debut this month of Season 54, TPIR goes down in the record books as the longest-running game show in the entire world! (The previous record holder was the Chilean Spanish-language variety show Sábado Gigante, which ran for 53 seasons from 1962 to 2015, all 53 of which were hosted by the very famous TV host Don Francisco. It had game show segments, and every audience member wore a name tag, so to me, that does count.)

Brinstar Theme (Metroid) for Saxophone Quartet

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-03 | Written for saxophone quartet (soprano, alto, tenor, baritone), this is my take on the theme for Brinstar, the first level of the NES game Metroid (and the first of the whole franchise when it debuted in 1986). This is the first time I've done a Metroid song.

The first installment in the Metroid series, it was originally released in Japan for the Family Computer Disk System in August 1986. North America received a release in August 1987 on the Nintendo Entertainment System, with the European release following in January 1988. Set on the planet Zebes, the story follows Samus Aran as she attempts to retrieve the predatory Metroid organisms that were stolen by Space Pirates, who plan to replicate the Metroids by exposing them to beta rays and then use them as biological weapons to destroy Samus and all who oppose them.

The game was developed by Nintendo Research & Development 1 (Nintendo R&D1) and Intelligent Systems. It was produced by Gunpei Yokoi, directed by Satoru Okada and Masao Yamamoto, and scored by Hirokazu Tanaka. It pioneered the Metroidvania genre, focusing on exploration and searching for power-ups used to reach previously inaccessible areas. Its varied endings for fast completion times made it an early popular title for speedrunning. It was also lauded for being one of the first video games to showcase a female protagonist.

Metroid was both a critical and commercial success. Reviewers praised its graphics, soundtrack, and tight controls. Nintendo Power ranked it 11th on their list of the best games for a Nintendo console. On Top 100 Games lists, it was ranked 7th by Game Informer and 69th by Electronic Gaming Monthly. The game has been rereleased multiple times onto other Nintendo systems, such as the Game Boy Advance in 2004, the Wii, Wii U and 3DS via the Virtual Console service, and the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Classics service. An enhanced remake of Metroid featuring updated visuals and gameplay, Metroid: Zero Mission, was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2004.

Request: Oh, Toodles! (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse)

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-02 | Requested by another YouTube user, this short jingle is my take on another song from the television series "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse," which is used again in the updated version, "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+." This plays when the Sensational Six (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto) need a Mouseketool to solve a problem, and they call out, "Oh, Toodles!" Toodles is a MIckey's head-shaped tool-distributing robot that distributes these tools for every episode. Following the episode "Happy Birthday, Toodles", he gains a face, a personality, and a voice (provided by the legendary Rob Paulsen), and even acquires himself a love interest in Quoodles in the special "Space Adventure." Prior to that, he was silent, and didn't have a face.

In the Plus version, Toodles is a silent character again, but retains the face he had before.

This arrangement is for electric piano, electric bass guitar, bongos, and maracas.

Piano Duet: Hot Potato (Opening Song) - TV Game Show Theme

Leo the Tiger 2025-09-01 | This piano duet of mine is an attempt at doing the opening music of another television game show, "Hot Potato," hosted by Bill Cullen. If I can figure out how to do it, I'll do the regular theme as well. It was broadcast on NBC in the United States from January 23 to June 29, 1984. From April 23 until its conclusion, the show was known as Celebrity Hot Potato.

Bill Cullen was the show's host, his final hosting job for a network series, and Charlie O'Donnell was the announcer. Cullen remarked that he had been chosen to host largely by default, since the originally intended host had flopped during an early run-through of the game and neither Barry & Enright nor NBC could think of anyone else to ask. He also noted that this scenario had occurred repeatedly during his career, resulting in many of his credits as a game show host. (He hosted more shows than anybody else, most notably the original version of "The Price is Right" in the 1950s and 60s. He made one and only one appearance on Bob Barker's TPIR to promote his then-new game show, "Child's Play.")

The series was produced by Barry & Enright Productions, the company's first for NBC since the company was a central figure in the 1950s quiz show scandals. Hot Potato was the first game mounted for a network by Barry & Enright since 1976's Break the Bank aired on ABC, the last one the company did not produce exclusively for syndication, and the last original production Jack Barry was a part of; he died on May 2, 1984, a little more than a week after Hot Potato made the switch to the celebrity format.

Chime Solo: The Bing-Bong Bell (The 7D)

Leo the Tiger 2025-08-29 | This is my first chime (tubular bells) solo, although all it is really is just parts of the theme tune from the animated series The 7D. This is played when Queen Delightful rings the "Bing Bong Bell" to summon the 7D whenever Jollywood, the kingdom she rules, is threatened.

Donkey Kong Medley for Piano (Arcade OST)

Leo the Tiger 2025-08-28 | These simplified piano renditions I've done represent the soundbites and music from the original Donkey Kong arcade game made in 1981 by Nintendo. The object of the game is for Mario (then referred to only as "Jumpman") to rescue Pauline ("the Lady") from Donkey Kong, who has taken her hostage. As the first platform game to feature jumping, Donkey Kong requires the player to jump between gaps and over obstacles or approaching enemies whilst Donkey Kong throws barrels at the player, setting the template for the future of the genre. With four unique stages, Donkey Kong was the most complex arcade game of the time, and one of the first arcade games with multiple stages, following games such as 1980's Phoenix and 1981's Gorf and Scramble.

In addition to the goal of saving Pauline, the player has a score. Points are awarded for the following: leaping over obstacles; destroying objects with a hammer power-up; collecting items such as hats, parasols, and purses; removing rivets from platforms; and completing each stage according to a steadily decreasing bonus counter. The player starts with three lives with a bonus life awarded at 7,000 points. A life is lost when Mario touches Donkey Kong or any enemy object, falls too far, or lets the bonus counter reach zero. The game ends when all lives are lost.

Each of the four single-screen stages represents 25 meters of the structure Donkey Kong has climbed: 25, 50, 75, and 100 meters. Stage one involves Mario scaling a construction site made of crooked girders and ladders while jumping over or hammering barrels and oil drums tossed by Donkey Kong. Stage two involves climbing a five-story structure of conveyor belts, each of which transport cement pans. The third stage involves the player riding elevators while avoiding bouncing springs. The final stage requires Mario to remove eight rivets from the platforms supporting Donkey Kong; this causes Donkey Kong to fall and the hero to be reunited with Pauline. These four stages combine to form one level.

After each level, the stages repeat with increased difficulty. For example, Donkey Kong begins to hurl barrels faster and sometimes diagonally, and fireballs speed up. The victory music alternates between levels 1 and 2. The fourth level consists of five stages with the final stage at 125 meters.

Donkey Kong Jingle (for Beginners Piano)

Leo the Tiger 2025-08-27 | Another of my arrangements for beginner's piano, although this one is also a video game track because it's the Donkey Kong theme from the NES version of the arcade game, which were adapted into the opening bars to the title theme for the video game "Donkey Kong Country." For the purposes of this beginner's piano arrangement, I'm calling it "Donkey Kong Jingle."

Piano Duet: Super Mario 64 Medley (Opening, Bomb-Omb Battlefield)

Leo the Tiger 2025-08-25 | This piano duet of mine is a medley of two songs from Super Mario 64, starting with the opening music when the game first starts, and continuing with what I believe to be the game's signature song, the music from Bomb-Omb Battlefield, which has easily become a jazz standard in its own right. The choice to do them together was inspired from watching a different YouTube, in which both are performed together by a Japanese jazz big band/fusion ensemble known as the Big Band of Rogues.

Piano Solo: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse/Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+ (Theme)

Leo the Tiger 2025-08-24 | Although I've done a few songs from the educational television series "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" in the past, I decided to do this piano solo rendition of the main theme, which is also used for the new version, "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+."

In both versions of the show, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto interact with the viewers to stimulate problem solving during a self contained story.

Once the episode's situation has been explained, Mickey invites the viewers to join him at the Mousekedoer, a giant Mickey-head-shaped computer whose main function is to distribute the day's Mouseketools, a collection of tools needed to reach the episode's main goal, to Mickey. One of them is a "Mystery Mouseketool," (Mouskepal in the Plus version) represented by a question mark, which is hidden from the viewer until it is selected, and thus changes into the Mouseketool the viewers get to use.

After all of the Mouseketools have been revealed, they are quickly downloaded to Toodles, a small, Mickey-head-shaped flying extension of the Mousekedoer. By calling "Oh, Toodles!", he pops up from where he is hiding and flies up to the screen so the viewer can pick which tool is needed for the current situation.

The show features two original songs performed by American alternative rock band They Might Be Giants; the opening theme song, in which a variant of a Mickey Mouse Club chant ("Meeska Mooska Mickey Mouse!") is used to summon the Clubhouse, and "Hot Dog!", which echoes Mickey's first spoken words in the 1929 short The Karnival Kid.

After the original show ended in 2016, it was succeeded by Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures (formerly Mickey Mouse Roadster Racers), which ran from January 2017 to October 2021, and Mickey Mouse Funhouse, which ran from July 2021 to April 2025. On August 18, 2023, a revival was revealed to be in production, and was released on July 21, 2025.

The Price is Right: Race Game Cue (Early Happy Days No. 2)

Leo the Tiger 2025-08-23 | "Early Happy Days No. 2" is the official title of the song, but the reason I am doing it is because "The Price is Right" uses it as background music when a contestant is playing the Race Game. The contestant is shown four prizes and is given four price tags, and has just 45 seconds to place each price tag in the right spot. After they finish, they run back to the prop to pull a level, which shows them how many have correct; if time permits, the contestant can go back and make changes. The game continues until time expires (at which point, the contestants wins any prizes they have correct), or until the contestant has all four price tags in the correct spot.

My arrangement is for honky-tonk piano, banjo, and electric bass guitar.

Tecmo World Wrestling: Title Screen (My Piano Solo)

Leo the Tiger 2025-08-19 | This piano solo of mine is an attempt at doing the title screen music from the 1990 NES video game "Tecmo World Wrestling." This is the first time I've done anything wrestling-related; however, the 11 wrestlers in the game are entirely fictional, and do not make any references to the WWE or its competitors (the strongest of which back then was WCW, or World Championship Wrestling; that went out of business in 2002).

This is the first wrestling game to feature a play-by-play announcer, the animated Tom Talker, although his speech was only text bubbles. The game's text (e.g. Tom Talker's commentary) was translated from the Japanese game almost directly, leading to instances of Engrish. For example, the Northern Lights Suplex is called "Northern Right Suplex." The game was released in Japan under the name Gekitou Pro Wrestling!! Toukon Densetsu (激闘プロレス!! 闘魂伝説, Fierce Fighting Wrestling!! Legend of Fighting Spirit)

Tecmo World Wrestling contains more than 20 moves per wrestler, by virtue of not having a dedicated grapple button. Instead, a grapple is initiated whenever the wrestlers walk into each other, and from there, combinations of the joypad and buttons can be used to perform a variety of holds and slams. There are also many situational moves (such as ground attacks, high-risk top-rope aerial attacks, and running attacks) to perform.

In addition, the game was perhaps the first to feature action replays: when certain signature moves are performed on a weakened wrestler, the game introduces a quick cut-scene, showing the move being performed, as if in a close-up television replay.

Matches can be won by a standard three-count pinfall, submission, or by count-out (if a wrestler is tossed out of the ring, a twenty count starts, and if either wrestler is still outside of the ring when the count ends, they're disqualified). In the single-player game, if both wrestlers are counted out, it counts as a loss for the player (although the screen will display the word "DRAW").

The single-player mode consists of defeating all of the other wrestlers in the game with your chosen wrestler. Between matches, the player is given an option to train; through button mashing exercises, the player performs either squats, sit-ups, or push-ups (with a sumo wrestler on his back). When the meter measuring your progress in training fills up, a sphere above the meter (seven in total) fills up. The more training you do, the more damage your moves will do during a match. Once all seven spheres fill up, you cannot train any further; however, if you lose a match against an opponent, you will lose a sphere, and you must train again to regain it. When all of the other wrestlers are defeated, the player must overcome the challenge of the non-playable final boss, "The Earl of Doom" Blue King, before winning the game.

Two-player mode in Tecmo World Wrestling features the same game play as the single-player game. Each player selects a wrestler (the game prevents the same character being chosen for both players) and then proceed directly into the match. The most notable difference from the single-player game is the addition of a momentum meter onscreen that rapidly swings back and forth between both players. This meter determines which player will have the advantage in a grappling situation.

Hickory Dickory Dock (for Beginners Piano)

Leo the Tiger 2025-08-16 | Another of my beginner's piano arrangements, going back to the style I usually use. This one is "Hickory Dickory Dock." It has a Roud Index Folk Song number of 6489.

The earliest recorded version of the rhyme is in Tommy Thumb's Pretty Song Book, published in London in May 1744, which uses the opening line: 'Hickere, Dickere Dock'. The next recorded version in Mother Goose's Melody (c. 1765), uses 'Dickery, Dickery Dock'.

The rhyme is thought by some commentators to have originated as a counting-out rhyme. Westmorland shepherds in the nineteenth century used the numbers Hevera, Devera, and Dick, which are from the language Cumbric.

The rhyme is thought to have been based on the astronomical clock at Exeter Cathedral. The clock has a small hole in the door below the face for the resident cat to hunt mice

Rosyjska Ruletka (TV Theme): Polish Russian Roulette (My Piano Solo)

Leo the Tiger 2025-08-15 | When I presented my arrangement of the theme tune to the American version of the television game show "Russian Roulette," somebody asked me to try a more scary-sounding ominous theme used in multiple international versions, as well as the original pilot for the U.S. version, which played differently than the format used in the actual series when Game Show Network picked it up. This simplified piano solo is my attempt at doing that very song. One international version that used this music was the Polish version for its first season (for the second one, they switched to a more lively theme), so I used the Polish title here.

I don't know who the original composer is for this ominous music; if somebody does, please tell me, so that I may credit them.

Bruce Forsyths Play Your Cards Right (1990s Theme)

Leo the Tiger 2025-08-11 | Sir Bruce Joseph Forsyth-Johnson (22 February 1928 – 18 August 2017) was an English entertainer and television presenter whose career spanned more than 75 years.

Forsyth came to national attention from the late 1950s through the ITV series Sunday Night at the London Palladium. He went on to host several game shows, including The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right, The Price Is Right and You Bet!. He co-presented Strictly Come Dancing from 2004 to 2013. (Here in the USA, he hosted Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak.)

During his time as host of The Generation Game, Forsyth began using what would become his signature 'call and response' greeting with the studio audience, "It's nice to see you, to see you...", to which the audience would loudly reply, "Nice!"; he used this on many shows he later hosted for the rest of his career. Forsyth was also known for his "The Thinker" pose, emulating Rodin's sculpture, which he used on many shows he later hosted.

Forsyth was made a Knight Bachelor in the 2011 Birthday Honours for services to entertainment and charity. In 2012, Guinness World Records recognised Forsyth as having the longest television career for a male entertainer. (The longest TV career for a female entertainer belongs to the late Betty White, so the USA won that one.)

The theme tune I've arranged here comes from the British version of the TV game show Card Sharks, known in the UK as Bruce Forsyth's Play Your Cards Right. I've done it for alto saxophone, glockenspiel, vibraphone, piano, and bass guitar. (Note that I did the 1990s version of the song.)
