List of Donkey Kong Country (television series) songs

A proposal has decided that this page is to be split into Have We Got a Deal?, Mixing Your Cares Away, That's Why He'd Rather Be With Me, Spellbound, Gotta Get it Back!, Don't Lose Heart, Me Like You, The Road to Success, What Do You Love the Most?, The Island of Kongo Bongo, Wake Up!, Mystic Oracle Summoning Chant, Do You Know What This Means?, The Diddy Drop Rap, The Ape on a Mission, Head Games, This Friendship is Wrong, If I Wasn't Around, The Coconut is Cursed!. (discuss)

The following is a list of the various songs featured in the Donkey Kong Country television series. In all, there are eighty-two songs, two for each episode barring "Cranky's Tickle Tonic" (which has one song), "Orangutango" (which has two variants of the same song), "Monkey Seer, Monkey Do" (which has six variations of the same song), and "Message in a Bottle Show" (which has no songs), plus the theme song. Each song is sung by one or more of the show's characters and is generally about whatever events are occurring at that point in the episode. While most characters use the same voice actors for singing as they do for speaking, Donkey Kong is an exception, as his singing voice is provided by Sterling Jarvis rather than his speaking voice actor Richard Yearwood.

Only three of the songs, "The Pirate Scorn", "Monkey Business", and "I Wanna be a Star", have known official names. Several of the songs have instrumental versions that are used as background music.

I'll freeze Cranky's hologram and then I'll stuff him in a jar
I'll use him as a nightlight on the wall in my boudoir

Ruler of the universe, I feel so sublime
I'll pull out my stick and make them limbo a thousand times!

Monkey seer, monkey do
Mystic Oracle, we summon you

Er, somethin', somethin', uh...cosmic air

Oh, Mystic Oracle!
Show me the power!

Why should I stay
When all I do is get in the way?
They think I'm a clown
They push me around

They'd be better off if I wasn't around

Oh, why should I stay?
When they treat me...they treat me that way!
If I... If I... If I... If I...
Wasn't around!
