Dreamt I heard a Boards of Canada song that had heavy Mario brothers 2 (NES) vibes.

I was having dinner with my dad, who's been dead for years, and my brother (I think), and I think it was outdoors. I was trying to chose some music for the occasion, so I was looking at two vinyl boxsets of Sun Ra (I wish I could remember the track titles!) and remember playing one track in particular. It had a low burbling moog in the background, pretty much in one key, brushed drums, no bass, tenor sax soloing and a strange sounding trumpet playing a repeating melody, with one vocal singing the title, "Charlie Was a Saint".

I can remember three occasions.
1) A music hall song, with full, brass-led arrangement. The first verse: "Have you got any equations, was my only cry. / I think so, dear - yes, they're over there. / I'll be with you by and by."
2) An early 90s Erasure single: "I Gave You Freedom".
3) Abba's reunion single, with video: "Now My Race Is Run".
