It's been a strange four hundred and ninety three days since a man—nay, a martyr—named GravyBoy uploaded a video called "Wii Shop Bling" to YouTube. "Wii Shop Bling." Things have happened, stuff has transpired. We don't need to name names. But, after everything, at least we still have "Wii Shop Bling."The seminal mash up, Soundclown if you will, of "Hotline Bling" and the Nintendo Wii shop theme song is basically better than every single song ever made, except for maybe "Macklestore," the other most important Soundclown featuring the Wii shop theme song.

"Wii Shop Bling" was, and still is to this day, glorious and beautiful and genuinely better than the original. Don't even bother @ing me about that. It's just a fact. And I figured, since everyone's so intent on talking about More Life, because it's new and on Spotify (boring!!!!), it was time to bring it back to the forefront of popular culture. Let's get this bitch on the radio. Let's get Drake to retract "Hotline Bling" as we know it and replace it anywhere and everywhere with "Wii Shop Bling" including playing it live. I'm not fucking joking.I like "Passionfruit" just as much as the next guy but there will never be another "Wii Shop Bling."Over to you, GravyBoy.Follow Issy Beech on Twitter if you're into that kind of thing (trust us, you aren't).
