Hopefully you brought a change of clothes because this is our wettest episode yet as we share our favorite Water Music across the decades. We got some Mario music... and Mario music... And some not Mario music. Some dam turtles. A goddess love story. Deep fears of... well, the deep. Fear not though as after some rough seas we'll bring you back to port with beautiful lake music, and even a serenade (of sorts). One thing's for certain though, there's a wild variety of music in store for us all today.

H'yuk! Looks like today Laura is taking BBB on a journey through Banjo-Kazooie, the 1998 Rare developed platforming collect-a-thon released for the Nintendo 64. As this bear and bird combo takes us from snowy mountains to bays, and even through time traveling woods, Laura as guides us through Grant Kirkhope's compositions that dynamically shift during gameplay. Be ready for the nostalgia bump as we're reminded how good games used to be when slathered with goofy charms and upbeat transitional melodies as plucky heroes run about exploring colorful worlds for hours.
