"Holograms"
Composed by: Timothy Foy, Paul Koffman
Appears in	Donkey Kong Country – "Double Date Trouble" (1996)

"Holograms" is the second song in the Donkey Kong Country television series episode "Double Date Trouble." When Diddy Kong attempts to use the Crystal Coconut to teleport to Bluster Barrelworks and free Donkey Kong from the barrel he is trapped in, Cranky Kong (in his hologram form) sings this song to explain why Diddy's attempted actions are not possible to perform.

An instrumental version of this song titled "Laser Eye" is featured on the album NLV 165 - Techno Town.

CRANKY:
You can be here, you can be there, anywhere
You can go any place you wanna go, don't ya know?
You're just an image of yourself, floating in the air
Can't lift a thing, and you can't even comb your hair

A hologram is like a telegram
You can send it anywhere
But you never go nowhere
You gotta realize your limitations when you're just thin air

DIDDY:
---Yeah but---cap---K.---Rool--is a---king---

CRANKY:
Hold on a second, there, I'm not finished!
Now, where was I? Oh, yeah!

You can't peel bananas that you wanna eat
You can't feel the ground with your own two feet

DK:
You can't even eat bananas?!

CRANKY:
No! How many times do I gotta tell ya?

DIDDY:
---You got---the---the---K.---Rool---ack---ng---

CRANKY:
A hologram is like a telegram
You can send it anywhere
But you're not really there
You can't touch anything...
How much longer should I sing?!
Don't you understand that holograms can't push red buttons!

Singer	French lyrics	Translation
Cranky	Tu es ici, tu peux être là, n'importe où Tu peux te rendre où tu veux, t'as qu'à choisir, c'est un plaisir T'as qu'à nommer, à sauter très haut dans les airs Tes bras battent l'air et tu ne peux rien tenir en main	You are here, you can be there, anywhere You can go wherever you want, just choose, it's a pleasure Just name it, jump high into the air Your arms flap in the air and you can't hold anything in your hands
	Un hologramme, c'est comme un télégramme Tu peux l'envoyer partout Mais en fait tu ne vas nulle part Il faut admettre toutes ses limites quand on est une image en l'air	A hologram is like a telegram You can send it anywhere But you're not actually going anywhere You have to admit all your limitations when you're an image in the air
Diddy	---Écoutez---moi---King---K. Rool---est---là---	---Listen---to me---King---K. Rool---is---here---
Cranky	Attends une minute, j'ai pas encore fini ! Où en étais-je ? Ah oui !	Hold on a minute, I'm not finished yet! Where was I? Oh yes!
	Tu ne peux pas manger les bananes que tu vois Tu peux rien toucher, t'es immatériel	You can't eat the bananas that you see You can't touch anything, you're immaterial
DK	Tu peux même pas manger de bananes ?	You can't even eat bananas?
Cranky	Non ! Combien de fois il faudra te le dire ?	No! How many times do I have to tell you?
Diddy	---Crank---rentr---imméd---K. Rool---attaque---	---Crank---come bac---immed---K. Rool---attacking---
Cranky	Un hologramme, c'est comme un télégramme Tu peux l'envoyer partout Mais en fait tu ne vas nulle part Tu ne peux rien toucher Combien de temps dois-je chanter ? Tu ne comprends pas que les hologrammes ne peuvent pas pousser sur les boutons rouges ?	A hologram is like a telegram You can send it anywhere But you're not actually going anywhere You can't touch anything How long do I have to sing? Don't you understand that holograms can't push red buttons?
