LYRICS:
The name is Donkey, and he’s a monkey
In fact an ape to be precise
nnyes
Lives in the Kongo, he play the bongo
Bananas are his one and only vice
(K. ROOL: They kinda taste like babies!)
Little Diddy, he’s just a kiddy
An itty bitty monkey noob
And look at Candy, oh she lookin’ so fine
She got de hairy monkey boob!
Bananas, Bananas, What, What, Bananas...
KREMLINGS TOOK THEM IN THE NIGHT!
So bad guys scored your ‘nanner hoard, and ya really better boogaloo
Ya gotta get em back, ya gotta get on track,
‘cause it’s on like you know who!
Fly through jungles, mountains, caves,
and the world’s worst-maintained mine
Come on and beat your chest on a fruit-based quest,
and we’ll have a real good time
Changed his look, but kept his name
Changed his pal and changed his dame
But he came and changed the game
And the world was not the same
Come on and swing through trees, live like Wookiees,
and shoot into the sky
There’s an ostrich who’s got tennis shoes,
uh WHAT IS THIS AND WHY?
I said STOP, (STOP!) GO (GO!), STOP (STOP!), GO (GO!)
Creepy sleepy lizards abound!
There’s no princess, it’s a fruit-based quest so let’s all monkey around
(Let's go!)
King K. Rool, he’s a big green tool, got the goons all comin’ for you
Ya gotta take him down, decrown the clown,
but ya gotta make it through his crew!
Ya got beavers, vultures, giant bees, a demonic oil drum...
Come on and beat your chest on a fruit-based quest
and we’ll have a barrel... of fun!
Look out, old DK is back! - Hry
1:34 - The "What is this? And why?" line gets me every time.
Me too!
I don’t get it.
~Bananas, Bananas, wot wot, bananas~
Truly a lyrical miracle
Was anyone else thinking Strong Bad at that moment?
*KREMLINS TOOK 'EM IN THE NIIIIIIIGHT*
Such a pinnacle of satirical lyrical miracles.
The real lyrical miracle is: "Uh, what, is this, and why?" (1:34)
Jake Hackney bananas bananas wOT wOt bAnANAs
I was questioned at work today for walking around audibly muttering the phrase:
"He Lives in the Kongo, he play de bongo...."
Better than "They kinda taste like babies!"
TheBlackLink these comments made me die of laughter
The "They kinda Taste like Babies" is what is stuck in my head... its bad XD
really?
?
"Uh, WHAT is this and WHY?" Lost it.
I lost it too
AMEN
1:36
Same.
That was my reaction to those things as well. Mainly the why part
That high five had such a satisfying noise
ikr
Oh u mean 0:55
Thanks for telling the time
Similar to an ass slam
Agree
1:41
"There's no Princess it's a fruit based quest"
Favourite line in the whole song
Makes me wanna watch that promo video from 1994 again. Couldn't even tell ya how many times I watched that. Password, Diddy? YEAH! HAHAHA-*door slams in face*
Wow, My Favourite Let's Player Combined with my favourite song writer. Bliss!
Hi lol
AND IT'S NOT ON 3DO ADAPTORS
+NintendoCapriSun Funny seeing you here, Tim!
Hey tim
this is the catchiest song I've ever heard
I find the donkey Kong theme so good xD tbh
Guys, please stop telling Brent that he messed up the game canon. He's aware of the game's canon backstory, but it is indeed a rebrand. Rare created DKC as a rebrand of the DK character. Hell, they wanted Diddy to be a redesign of DK Jr., but Nintendo said no.
THANK YOU HELPFUL DUCK
OHHHHH YOU DIDN'T WIN ONE
OHHHHH I WON 'EM ALL
(I love your profile pic)
That’s true.
@Dave Miller that doesn't even make sense. They're different spieces lol
I didn’t think people even took these songs so seriously.
This is probably one of Brent's best lyrically. Definitely top 3.
"What is this and why?"
Max Marsh
Can I just say that dat’s a nice Paper Daisy pfp ya got there?
This should've been the theme song to Donkey Kong Country: Animated Series
If that series ever got rebooted *with proper animation mind you*, this would make a great intro definitely.
I agree
@@electrobob992 i agree
Especially With The "What Is This And Why" Fits Perfectly For The Show
When it comes to the story it sounds simple enough, but when you see the backgrounds of the game, you realize that this game was telling the story of the banana wars. How the Kong island represented the Caribbean islands, while the Kremmling’s and Captain K rool represents America.
7 years later and I still know it word for word
I’m saying 🤣
Same
I never liked those Stop/Go kremlins..... They used to freak me the hell out when I was a kid because of how quick they were..
They're called rockcrocs
That part pissed me off
This song expands dong
Rhymes
SpaceTaco 101 Oh yes it certainly does.
You aren't wrong
I like dnkey dong to
Rip cranky dong
Harambe would be proud.
Hey dude after you made this comment harambe died a day later sorry
As a lifelong fan of Weird Al, I can honestly say that you, Mr. Floss, are on par with the king of parodies.
0:47
I love how Shakespearean his voice sounds here. This is truly the most tragic thing that could befall our favorite king of kongs.
that animation is still better than the dkc show.
JensonIsFree Good point
Pathetic, nothing tops the DKC Anime
The DKC Anime is ART and you should be ashamed for having poor opinions, you batch of inbred swine
Ikr
I'm not sure there about the same
“You gotta get ‘em back, you gotta get on track, Cause it’s on like you know who.” Has me rolling every time
I absolutely fucking love this song. Something about this vibe the song gives off just gives me happy shivers.
Uh, I hate to be THAT GUY, but the DK we play on the Country series is actually DK Jr's son. The original DK became Cranky Kong. That plot was made by Rare on the time they were working on the series and Nintendo adopted it as canon.
So, yeah, DK became old and had kids but Mario kept his twenties.
*****
what if and this is pure speculation on my part the mario in donkey kong is actually mario's father and pauline is his girlfriend at the time the mario in the main series games is mario jr and is the same one who was in yoshi's island it would explain why mario and donkey kong (the current one) are friends despite being foes in the original games. but that's just a theory... a Game Theory
***** Mario games have little, if any, continuity aside from references.
No, he IS Donkey Kong Jr. , not Junior's son.
***** He is Jr's son, Cranky is his grandfather and the original Donkey Kong.
Gil Wanderley
Rare said they fucked up in DKC so Wario64I is correct
0:51 - 1:09 is where it's really at
Band
Didn't know I'd see you here...
Ikr
It's ok, the end is where it's really at
0:50 - 2:41 for me
Agreed
This is so damn catchy.
I shower you with coconut cream pies~
Sir Krigeon **insert dead meme here** aw fuck I can’t believe you done this.
@@spacecookie9589 the original comment was posted 2 years ago
time flies eh?
This does not expand dong.
"They kinda taste like babies!"
Well, now we know the REAL reason K. Roil stole the bananas, then.... O3o
How does he know what babies taste like?
@@suomi5475 The dude’s an alligator. I’m not surprised if he’s eaten some before.
@@MarthaVsHumanityI thought he was a crocodile.
Vote for King K. Rool in the Smash Ballot! #KrocTheVote
***** ... dammit
Simon Barr And? Link, Mario and more are Mii Fighter cosyumes HE STILL HAS A CHANCE!!!
TheGoldenMarowak
Yay!
Wish granted
@EricInANutshell I've got good news... King K.Rool is in Smash Bros Ultimate!
This is sure to be a favourite amongst DKC fans! The 3D animations by Cyclone and comical lyrics and vocal stylings of brentalfloss make for a highly entertaining music video that definitely does Donkey Kong Country justice!
W H A T I S T H I S A N D W H Y ? ?
Uhh, WHAT is this, and WHY??
best part,.
This is completely awesome.
It demands an eventual Donkey Kong Country 2 with lyrics, since that game was everything DKC1 was diled up a notch and somehow even better overall.
*in your opinion
***** Well yes, but that's because my opinion is correct based on more than just personal preference.
DKC2 is better than DKC1 in every single way.
DKC2 has:
-Better level design
-Far more stage variety
-Better music as Dave Wise somehow worked magic because he is actually a wizard and not a regular human being -Dixie is a far more interesting character than DK in terms of gameplay
-The mini games are more varied, better thought out, and ultimately more fun
-The game is harder and longer with more secrets
-The game even looks slightly better than DKC1
-Better, more interesting bosses
There are probably many other things I'm forgetting but those are the main points. DKC2 makes DKC1 feel like a warm up to it. Then they lost almost all of their momentum with the ho-hum DKC3 with the awful baby kong and then the series hit a cliff with DK 64 with characters nobody wanted and the absence of Dixie.
Don't get me wrong, DKC1 is a very good game. It's simply bested by its superior sequel.
-Better levels is all a matter of opinion. (Even design)
-You got me there. DKC 2's map is much more dynamic.
-I prefer DKC's music .-. the sequel's honestly felt a little bland to me.
-Mini games were better in DKC 2, but DKC3 reigns supreme in the minigame category.
-I beat both in about the same time (yes, completely)
-I don't see that lol. They may have fixed small graphic issues but I don't really see "looks better" out of it.
-I HATED the bosses in DKC 2. I know DKC's weren't really great, but I LOVED the barrel that shot out multiple enemies. DKC 2 felt kinda bland. A giant sword that swings at you isn't very exciting imo. I did like the K. Rool Boss on DKC 2 better than on 1 just by a smidge, though.
DKC 3 is my favorite actually .-. I did grow up with it though, but I love all the enemies and the bosses are amazing. (Kaos ftw.)
DKC3 isn't a bad game. DKC1 isn't a bad game. It's simply that overall, DKC2 is the best of the bunch.
Like I said, in your opinion. In mine, DKC 2 is the worst of the three. I don't like it as much as I like 3 and 1.
This is now my favourite video of yours, Brent. Each verse was better than the previous, and I couldn't stop tapping my foot, even if I wanted to!
Every time a new With Lyrics song comes out it gets stuck in my head for weeks. Damn it, Brent, you're too awesome and talented.
I SAID STAHP!
GOH!
STAHP!
GOH
CREEPY SNEAKY LIZARDS ABOUUUUT!!!1!!!1!!!
THERE'S NO PRINCESS
IT'S A FRUIT-BASED QUEST
SO LET'S ALL MONKEY AROUND (LET'S GO!!)!!!1111!!!!!
KING K. ROOL!!! IT'S BIG GREEN TOOL THE GOO! ARE GOING!! FOR YOU!!! YOU GONNA HIM AND ROUND CLOWN
One of the things I like about Brentalfloss (aside from the awesome music) is that he actually responds to comments on his videos (unlike most youtube celebs).
Bagels.
brentalfloss
not donuts?
Or dohnuts and bagles
Bohdan Smith trollnuts!
brentalfloss Flagels =3
U have no idea what this means to me, this OST brings tears to my eyes, still today, so much overwhelming nostalgia and musical mastery, it's incredible, thank you Brent for this gorgeous tribute.
I awaited SO MANY years for this!
The wait was worth it!
Now i'm waiting for the instrumental! :D
Vc é brasileiro
This is probably one of your best recent pieces Brent, very well done.
If I watch your videos every day, can I tell my dentist that I've been "'flossing" daily?
I never noticed before, but in that intro to the game Cranky Kong (the original Donkey Kong) is winding his record player on the red girders from the original game. The Donkey Kong with the tie is actually DK Jr.
When I saw the king k rool smash bros reveal.
King k rool he’s a big green tool!
Got the goons all comin’ for you!
"So bad guys scored your ‘nanner hoard!"
My favourite line x3
That CGI is still better than the DKC show.
Pretty obvious in hindsight given that Nintendo worked directly with SGI at the time, so they knew exactly how to use the hardware
0:58 Genius. Pure Genius.
Cranky kong was The Orinigal donkey :)
9 years later and this is still a groove and a 3 quarters.
0:32
Remember kids, bananas kinda taste like babies.
Yummy!
vore
Have all my bananas, Brent. Have ALL of my bananas.
This absolutely made my day; thank you Brent!
that's one of your best covers by the time I write this! The jazzy sounds,the rythm,the lyrics and that catchy voice of yours that you put in every song makes it so sweet! G'job Brent!
I really like how the song slowly gets more intense throughout. I'm not sure how to describe it, but it just seems to have more power in the instruments as it goes on.
Also I really like the way you say "Fruit based quest" fore some reason.
Ahh just what I needed this morning...a "snap-your-finger-to" Brental video :)
Yup. Editing this video has me doing a full-on Charleston. Glad ya like it :)
Doing the Charleston is what you're best at, Brent :P Looking forward to the next project!
Totally thought of Wookies on those levels too. Great job Floss!
I knew it couldn't have just been me! :)
I thought of the Ewoks
I wish this song would've been on that VHS tape Nintendo sent out to... frickin' everyone back in 1994. It really captures the excitement we all felt for Donkey Kong Country.
I just wanted to say that I really like this one. I think this is one of the best ones you've ever done. Keep up the good work, Brent.
Loved it so much! A perfect tribute to one of my favorite games.
0:02 when your playing on your DS in the middle of the night and your parents walk in
I really enjoyed the jazzy beat of this song combined with your well-written lyrics, it comes together so nicely. Excellent job!
The line “they kinda taste like babies” implies that king k rool knows what babies taste like
1:11 Oh god, the corrections that must be flying in on this one.
Yup. But I'm totally aware of the canon. It was still an obvious, overt rebranding, whether they retconned it or not :)
0:28 papyrus
The best With Lyrics in a long time Brent. Your recent stuff has been pretty good, but this feels like old times. Great beat, snappy lyrics. Awesome job.
This is the second greatest song about Donkey Kong I've ever heard.
Love the song Brent! DKC was one of the first games I ever played, and I'm glad to see you made a w/ lyrics version! Awesome rendition of the theme too! :D
I love how the sound effects play in too, like the high five. It was hilarious xD
Keep up the great work! :)
I lol'd so hard at "what is this, and why?"
This is Genius on so many levels.. Can't get it out of my head 7 years later...
I listened to this once and it instantly became a favorite. I dont know how you do it, but you seem to bring the best out of every piece you do. I dont know if you count the original as jazz or what, but the lyrics just seemed to flow through me... Keep up your amazing works.
Pikmin with lyrics!
Yes
Water Raiph: The musical
Yes please
"changed his dame but he came and changed the game"
"Come on and swing through trees"
@@springdude1165 live like wookies.
And shoot into the sky
“There’s an ostrich who got tennis shoes”
Uh... What. Is this. And why?
definately one of my fave with lyrics vids so far, so catchy! Keep rockin' brent!
1:28 I always wondered: Do Wookies actually live like this? Weren’t that the Ewoks?
Kashyyyk in Rots and games. Yes the Wookies also live in trees
@@permafrost8322 Okay, nice. Thanks!
I'm guessing you said its on like you know who because of that weird copyright thing with Nintendo?
Yup!™
brentalfloss HOW?™
Man this video really just brighten up my day, so truly thank you brentalfoss. Haven't laughed so hard from a video in ages.
my most wanted with lyrics of all time finally came true! Liked, faved, and soon to be bought. amazing!
Yes! I'm going BANANAS for this video, could you put the without lyrics soon?
So fun and catchy!
How did I miss this one?! :D
I'm also getting a strong "King Louie" rhythm a la "The Jungle Book." :D
Anyone else?
paulbunyunn me
You earned my fandom back. It took me a while to like this, but It without the lyrics, and for some reason, it's now up there with stuff like earthbound with lyrics, and sunshine with lyrics. Goon job Brent!
The visuals, the snappy lyrics, the adaptation of David Wise's original music to this version... I swear, man, every time you come out with one of these things, it always blows me away. Great job as usual, Brent. :)
My all time favorite fruit-based quest. ;)
I kinda want the people who made the 3d model visuals in this to make the visuals for a DKC remake. Now that would be awesome!
You know, this may just happen - in one form or another. :)
sounds like a recipe for awesome
Honestly thought the CG bits were cutting room stuff from the game...until the end of the video when I saw who it was done by, good job Chris.
Thanks
Wow... This was hands-down one of my favorites. Keep up the good work!
“In fact, an ape to be precise, nyes.”
"Look out, ol' Donkey is back!"
A little homage to Mack the Knife, Brent?
You know it, woodpecker! :)
brentalfloss Hah-hah-hah-HAAAH-hah!
This is by far my new favorite Brentalfloss song. Nice job!
Still a banger nearly 9 years after! Keep going strong Brent!
*the award for the catchiest song i've ever listened to ever in my life goes to...*
I watched this video while wearing a shirt with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, and it says Barrels of Fun.
That was pretty awesome! Awesome job as always Brent! And of course awesome animations by the ones who help with these videos. In this case Chris Schlosser of CGI visuals.
One of your best if not THE best. This deserves more praise.
Brentalfloss eats Donkey Schlong
Riley Simms With relish!
brentalfloss lol
brentalfloss Well, if you're going to eat a donkey's crotch dachshund I guess you'd kinda have to have some kind of topping, but relish? I dunno Floss, if you're going to do it you might as well go all-in and get it with mayo.
Riley Simms XD
He didn't change his look.
The Donkey Kong from the arcade and NES games is actually Cranky Kong from DKC.
The DK we know now is an offspring.
Hey long time no see chase!!
Hey person I don't know.
U....don't remeber me? ;-;
Jared W I have bad memory, what do ya want from me? :'(
The DK in DKC is DK junior from the arcade.
Hello Brent! I am Brazilian, and since 2008 I love your videos and music. Thanks for making my ears happy always. One day I dream to see you live. This video was great! Thanks for everything.
This song is so good I can't get out of my head
Nothing beat the DK Rap lol

WTF

Love all of your songs!
Man I love Donkey Kong Country, well done Brent! This is my favorite lyrics video so far!
Mario is so jealous of Donkey Kong's awesomeness he doesn't even invite him to his parties anymore.
