![[Vinesauce] Vinny reacts to the Donkey Kong Country Show Songs (First Half of Season 1)](/img/n.gif)
Just remember that the whole Donkey Kong Country Cartoon (YES ALL 40 episodes :D ) are on CZcams! So if you’re feeling funky after this video… *wink wink*. You have something to watch. Happy Banana Slamma everyone and Mas-salama!
[INSERT FUNNY DK FACE HERE]
Thank you so much
I'm surprised that K. Rool's Finest Hour wasn't even a runner up. It's genuinely a very fun villain song and the instrumental even sounds like something out of the games!
It's a really good one but I feel like it's just missing one verse to elevate it. Also it competes with Do You Know What This Means as... essentially two different flavors of the same song.
With that said, I'm sure every single K Rool song would make a Top 30, with only maybe Always Be Friends and Wake Up missing out.
Spellbound, No One's Going to Make a Monkey Out of Me, and One of Us are better K Rool songs anyway.
It's weird we never see Leo Luster and Bluster Kong in the same room. Maybe the writers just thought they wouldn't have any on-screen chemistry.
oh that's a good one
The universe would’ve imploded
This cartoon was filled with bops.
I'm Nobody's Hero, Eddie, Let Me Go Back To My Home, Be Bad and The Mirror Never Lies are definitely the best for me.
The Mirror Never Lies is an absolute banger
I'm a stan of Metal Head myself.
Yeah
No Pirate's Scorn? How dare you call this a top 10 list without the greatest song from the whole show :p
_I'm Nobody's Hero_ in the Runner-Ups!? This is outrageous! It's unfair!
Honestly it's the funniest part of the show when the songs are actually pretty decent lol
I would be more mad that “Our Love is Stronger than a Golden Banana” (and just. more Candy songs in general) didn’t make the cut, but your number 1 choice is just so perfect that I can’t be. You’re absolutely right and you Should say it
Candy songs all fit about in my 25-ish range. She's got a great voice, but a lot of them end before they really get a chance to get started, or are duets with DK where he's not going for it nearly as much as she is. Really strong singing voice, but I'm a sucker for a lot of the up-beat ones and wanted a variety in tonality.
I was starting to get worried you weren't going to talk about the single best piece of Donkey Kong media. You cut it close with how deep into December we are, but my mind is now at ease.
I would honestly love a Donkey Kong Game with these voice actors. Bring Bluster in the series again!
#MakeBlusterKongCanon
This show makes me proud to be Canadian. Also recently learned a family member of mine is close friends with DK’a singing voice, so that’s cool too!
If any of you haven’t seen that sick animated music video for Pirate’s Scorn, you need to do that right stat now.
I love that all the comments are just about songs they wish made the cut. Which honestly is fair, so many songs are worth mentioning, be it for surprising quality or even just novelty.
The top 30 songs are all bangers. And the Top 50 are all probably good without irony, which is just plain impressive.
My personal favorites are King K. Rool’s Finest Hour because it was EVERYWHERE on social media when K. Rool got revealed for Smash and it’s easily my favorite K. Rool song in the whole show, I’m Gonna Be a Star because it’s legit a bop and a half, The Mirror Never Lies because of the amazing cover by Siivagunner for King for Another Day and Pirate’s Scorn because of the fact that it got covered by ALESTORM and that cover even got an animated music video to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the cartoon and the 40th Anniversary of the Donkey Kong series
Unironically love this show to bits and can sing along to every single one of the songs, so I'm happy to see someone talk about its good parts!
Also love Alestorm and when I first found out they covered Pirate's Scorn it was as if the stars aligned. Check out the awesome fanmade video too, the guy who made it later went and made an official video for the band!
K. Rool is Squidward in the Dutch dub btw
Fun fact: The VA for DK was in OK KO and he also sang Zoobomafoo.
I love how this video's style is that of the old Fawful's Minion type top ten videos you'd see floating around back then. Great video! I'd like it, but...
HOLOGRAMS CAN'T PUSH LIKE BUTTONS!
Grab yourself a snack and a glass of orange juice and try not to reach through the screen because HERE WE GO!!!
The guy singing as DK is also the singer who does the intro for Zaboomafu
i've only heard a limited amount of the songs but Metal Head always was a bop to me even with Diddy involved (though the edit that removes his lines is better depending on my mood)
I audibly screamed when I heard eddie send me back to my home got #1. I grew increasingly worried it wouldn't even place at all. But, relief and pure joy flooded through me to hear it get the recognition it deserves as a masterpiece.
13:27
Ah yes, probably, if not the most influential and life-changing song of the entire show:
SOUP
How are these songs not constantly playing in the Louvre? This is the best thing France has ever made. (Not sarcasm)
I can't believe "All I Want" didn't get a mention. Not only does it have the same singers as "Be Bad", but it has BLUSTER!!! Plus those last ten or so seconds are iconic.
Yeah, for me Pirate Scorn is the main one for me, like-
Idk, it goes hard, works for lore and character introduction, and specially GOES HARD.
And man, the fan remake... The fan Remake man!... *It's pure cheff kiss.*
The mirror never lies i think its really good because its also... a really solid joke.
If Leo Luster doesn't make top spot I will riot.
I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU PUT NONBODY'S HERO AT 11. I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THE SHOW AND THAT ONE STILL HOLDS SO MUCH REAL ESTATE IN MY BRAIN. I DON'T EVEN CARE THAT THIS WAS OBVIOUS BAIT, I AM ACTUALLY MAD
I don't know what everyone wants me to be. I only know just how to be me.
@@DesigningFor God damn, if that isn't the best response you could have ever had. Well played, pyrr.
Shoutouts to kong-fu master. He's so bad he scares himself!
Oh Leo Luster, we mere mortals don't deserve to look upon your angelic visage.
I agree!
Just Cranky trying to do some tap dancing off beat to some xylophone, to the buildup of piano as he goes inside, then bursting out the door with "AH'M GONNA BE A STAH!" and the ensuing lyrics of stupid nonsense up until the others pick up the song is the peak of the series, dk has a great singing voice, but its one of the few songs i want more of the ones who cant sing as good as him to keep going. Though the most genuine bop was the top spot which makes me happy
I've known about this cartoon for years and I'm still trying to comprehend it's existence
12:57 That cut slayed me, because it sounds like Eddie just abruptly cut off DK's song by bringing him back to life and making him fall mid-song
"Mirror never lies is 14"
I am enraged but intrigued
Metal Head will always have a special place in my hearth
Metal head that guitar in the BG as DK dose the robot is so g o o d
I see we left off “What do you love the most.” You know, the Diddy Kong Jazz Poem? Truly an underrated gem.
christ you know this show has an incredible set of songs because my top 10 is almost completely different (you're killing me putting Mirror Never Lies in the runner-ups). Eddie Let Me Go Back to My Home is obviously still my number 1 as well, that's just an unimpeachable winner
The DKC TV show despite its weird animation, honestly is a fun time to go through, it wasn’t high art, but it was honestly more faithful to the games than other video game cartoons (Looking at you Kirby..) , I think almost every character is portrayed both by voice and in character (Like the Klump appreciation in this, dudes underrated in this show) honestly my biggest complaint with the show is Candy Kong, I mean she wasn’t too much of a character in the games mostly being just eye candy and pretty much being the worst character of the family personality wise (Tiny probably being second due to being diet Dixie) but man they made her well a horrible girlfriend for DK, to be fair DK isn’t perfect.. but she definitely overreacts about him sometimes. I feel Candy (if she had more of a character) would be much more of the person that balances DK out, not someone who gets upset at the smallest things his boyfriend does.. or he’s just in the same room as the incident with for some reason.
Regardless fantastic list of this show’s monkey music!
It was definitely high art 🍁 😆
Honestly I like the Kirby one because of it being such a different thing compared to the games. I imagine it would've struggled heavily had there not been major creative liberties taken. Sure some characters flopped and didn't work, but others worked better than I would've thought.
It also has the "best" dubbing of any 4Kids show aside from maybe Yugioh GX (and no I will not be swayed on this).
@@colossaldonut5190 That’s fair, I think a Kirby anime focusing on the games wouldn’t be too bad, especially since Super Star basically plays out like a season of a show, with each sub game being an individual episode or Arc, I definitely think the biggest issue is the portrayals of the main trio, (Kirby being a mindless baby, Dedede being a villainous jerk, and Meta Knight not being even a little unhinged.) Idk it just doesn’t feel like Kirby when your main characters feel off.
I feel like they felt like they had to make Candy an empowered woman to counter the fact that she’s literally just “eye candy” (like her name) in the original games and they wanted her to feel more relevant since she’s the only major female character besides Dixie in the show
@@colossaldonut5190 Dub Dedede is a treasure
For me, it's gotta be "You Can't Get Away With This Monkey Business".
9:06 lmao this line reminds me of the Donkey Kong wiki edits I made a couple of weeks ago, bc I included “I wish he was my dad” in the trivia section for the “I’m Leo Luster” song.
Oh man. The Mirror Never Lies is the only song that I remember specifically.
"Nobody's Hero" became a meme, though! haha
Making these songs all the more impressive is that the show was originally French! So all of these songs (and the lip synching) were originally in French, and were translated to English!
Another fun fact: It was a French/Canadian joint production (Not French-Canadian, but studios in France + Canada), and the English version was voice acted by Canadians!
DUDE.
If I wasn’t currently bogged down by a cold that is holding my voice hostage, I would’ve screamed with delight at Number One. I have no words, you said them all for me.
Shout-out to the genius who decided to mix this with Casinopolis Sewers from Sonic Adventure.
YES THANK YOU for recognizing the brilliance of Eddie, Let Me Go Back To My Home 🙉 it's my #1 for sure! The Big Chill Out is probably my favorite episode of the cartoon, so I was glad to see Road to Success here as well. Somehow, I didn't know about the Alestorm cover of Pirate's Scorn so I'm glad I watched this--their newest album is even called Curse of the Crystal Coconut!
Surprised 'Gotta Get it Back' didn't make the list! Though with all these bops, the competition must be stiff.
"MetalHead" and "I'm gonna Be A Star" got snubbed fr.
We MUST have a video of you doing voice acting as K Rool. Seriously, I love that kremling's voice.
I’m so glad that “Eddie bring me back” was number 1!
Pirate Scorn not being here hurts my heart a little, but Booty Boogie is also an amazing jam. Great list for sure XD
Also that thumbnail goes so hard OMG
My top 5
5. The mirror never lies
4. No ones gonna make a monkey out of me
3. Metal head
2. Nobody’s hero
1. Pirates scorn
Thanks for doing the most important video of your lifetime.
As the #1 Bluster Kong essayist on the planet, it was my duty.
*The Mirror Never Lies*
The best song better be the pirate song…
Well list is WRONG 😑 😆
"I'll be a superstar" is really catchy. Yes, Diddy and "Bubbles" can't sing but it just feels awesome. I only watched the german version of episode 3 so I missed a lot of these songs. It likely wouldn't be on the top of the list but I prefer this one.
And the song that tells about the sickness where they get vaccinated is also good in my opinion. But it's been a while since I watched the show.
My favorite songs are I'm the Kong Fu Master, Anyone Can Dance, and Our Love is Stronger Than a Golden Banana
I’m pretty sure one of K Rools songs is Crocodile Cacophuny with lyrics
There was an edit of Finest Hour that put CC as its backing track but the original definitely didn’t have CC elements at all.
It honestly sounds more like Krooks March.
@@RondoOfBloodX I haven’t listens to a lot of the songs in the soundtrack
bluster the benevolent has to be it, because i actually can not listen to it without at least chuckling, it's just that silly
Yo, I agree with most of these, but I'd also consider
- One of us
-My finest hour
-Gotta get it back
-This friendship is wrong
-Don't lose heart
-Just remember who you are
I'm happy to see someone give this outrageous, goofy show some attention. I used to tape this on Fox Kids when I was a really little kid. I probably have it laying around somewhere still 😂
I’m surprised “I’m leo luster” wasn’t number one noting how you made an entire video about how bluster Kong is the greatest villain. 5 minutes of that video being about him
You know, the songs are what actually made me realize there WAS a Donkey Kong cartoon. The first one I heard was Big Bog Monster way back when (I wanna say the late 00s). It doesn't compare as well as these songs though.
Also, what a coincidence the song that got stuck in my head today is also at the number 1 spot of all the other songs I've never heard. Well okay, I've heard like 3 of these other songs before.
kino video, also shoutouts to putting watch the skies in honorable mentions i always see that song getting overlooked for some reason
4:27 isn't anyone going to talk about how he casually turns into cortex?
The tension from *_The Bet_* is killing me now, who's gonna win or lose?
K. Rool is probably the best part of the show, and his songs are a constant highlight. My favorites are the Diddy Drop Rap, Finest Hour, and One of Us.
You took away my jellies... You took away my jams...
4:45 Toothy Kong 🦷🦍
I'm sad that Kong-Fu isn't here
That bit at the end of number 1 caught me off guard lmao
Fuckin, comedy gold
Man, where did this even play growing up? The songs were so incredible but I don't remember seeing it on the TV ever.
Well it was a Canadian cartoon like all early 3D shows, so it probably was cause for limited viewing on only a few non-domestic channels, like Reboot
@@Valanway ReBoot eventually found its way to Cartoon Network but I definitely get your point. We didn't get terribly much around here in terms of programming.
My Widdle Evil One is rather touching, I actually felt sad thinking about K. Rool being old and needing to be taken care of in his final years.
:A song with diddy in it makes it in the top 10:
"You can't get away with this monkey buisnesssss~"
Before watching the video:
Monkey Business, I'm Nobody's Hero, Our Love is Stronger Than a Golden Banana, Anyone Can dance (DK Version), and Tell Me Everything.
I can't pick 10 because I genuinely don't think there's 10 songs that are actually good as just music. 🤣
My favorite is the mirror never lies
The runner ups are
Eddie let me go home
I'm gonna be a star
I'm nobody's hero
One of us
Diddy drop rap
Our love is stronger than a golden banana
Gotta give it back take it back
Leo luster
the songs in the klumps lumps episode.
This video is just A meme on watch mojo and I love it
Anyone can Dance. That song was too much of a bop for me. Seriously, why can DK sing so freaking good tho...?
12:20 Pure Perfection! They even put a pure blue background to facilitate the greenscreen usage
Sometimes
You just witness a work of art and go
"thank you for this"
The songs are so good that they rival the best in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic!
im gonna be a star
Surprised Diddy Drop Rap was as low as it was, but I that speaks to the quality of everything above. Also really glad to see Road to Success there, that's been stuck in my head ever since I first heard it when I watched through the whole show a couple years back (and I wouldn't have it any other way).
YOOOOOO, LEO LUSTER IS ON THE LIST BABEEEEEEEEEEH.
My top 10 DK songs of all time:
#10 Slammin’ Steel
#9 Mining Melancholy
#8 Amiss Abyss
#7 Life in the Mines
#6 Homecoming Hijinx
#5 Aquatic Ambience
#4 Lockjaws Saga
#3 Krook’s March
#2 Stickerbrush Symphony
#1 Forest Interlude
Lets face IT: This Show even Made sad Songs Sound great!
But Bluster is an ape. The only monkey in the entire show is Diddy, even then, his creators describe him as a "Chimpney". But, Diddy has a tail, so monkey it is.
What? No Finest Hour? This should be considered a crime!
It’s sounds so good with the raps and memes with his huge as
I see you chose the correct answer to the Number 1 spot
This is the show that Sonic Underground only wished it could be.
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks the musicals in this show absolutey slap sometimes.
Damn the g1 is strong in this one.
>I'm nobody's hero is 11th
Unsubscribed
Edit: Eddie the Yeti at 1?
NVM I forgive you
What a good Christmas present
We in Germany only got season 2, But I still Love The Songs!🤩👍
Ich bin eifersüchtig auf dich,In meinem Land gibt es nur die erste Staffel
Now that's a top tier thumbnail
ah, a man of culture, super mario 2 really *is* game of the year, truly deserving of number 0, absolute mas
And now, I just finished the video, and there was no My Love is A Golden Banana either? Bro...
It's time
Hi as well
It’s a struggle to choose just 1 song as my favorite, but I must say I absolutely LOVE Metalhead. A catchy jam and DK’s singing is as great as always. I don’t even mind Diddy’s voice-In fact, I kinda like it.
Actually, I don’t usually mind Diddy’s singing voice at all. The only song where his voice bothers me is Yes Means No; for some reason it starts to get on my nerves there
Couldn't agree more with #1, that song has no right being that damn good.
What is your opinion on Metal Head? It was my favorite song as a kid and I really like some parts but Diddy kills most of the song unfortunately.
Yeah but it's catchy as fuck
