"Great piece man. I must say, I have tried the whole whistling at work thing to see if people get it and it works a suprising large amount of the time. What amazed me recently was when I was sat with the girlfriend (who is japanese herself) and was flicking through youtube videos and came accross one of the Super Mario Bros underwater theme being played on a marimba. She instantly recognised it even though shes admited (foolishly to me) to never playing a mario game in her life. That to me showed how deeply ingrained older games, themes and characters have become here.
If I did the same thing at home in the UK. I dont think even my brother and sister would recognise the theme and they played as many games as I did as a kid."
