Above Ground BGM plays during all of the above ground levels. The song plays twice as fast as normal when you're running out of time to create a sense of urgency. Both versions of the song loop. The Hurry Up version is never played in its entirety because it's longer than the Hurry Up time.

Lyrics
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show featured Captain Lou Albano as Mario. At the end of each show, Mario sang lyrics to Above Ground BGM that acted as instructions for a little dance which he performed as the credits rolled.
Do the Mario! Swing your arms from side to side. Come on, it's time to go. Do the Mario! Take one step, and then again. Let's do the Mario, all together now! You got it! It's the Mario! Do the Mario! Swing your arms from side to side. Come on, it's time to go. Do the Mario! Take one step, and then again. Let's do the Mario, all together now! Come on now. Just like that!
