"Zebra Bananza", also known as the "Zebra Bananza Theme",[3] is a song featured in Donkey Kong Bananza. It is performed in-universe by Pauline, who is voiced by Jenny Kidd. Similarly to the other Bananza themes, the song's lyrics are almost entirely gibberish. The theme plays when Donkey Kong transforms into the Zebra Bananza form. A partial arrangement of the theme plays in the Emerald Rush track "Emerald Rush #4". An instrumental version of the song titled "Zebra Bananza (Instrumental)" plays when Pauline speaks while Donkey Kong is in the Zebra Bananza form and during the first four sections of Zebra Elder's Rehearsal Hall; its disc is unlocked by popping all five balloons in the rehearsal.

The "Zebra Bananza" theme is used as the background music of the Donkey Kong Bananza special theme in Tetris 99 when there are 50 to 11 players remaining.

Lyrics[edit]

The following is a transcription of the song's lyrics from an official lyric video posted on Nintendo Today!

Tu tulu tu! (Zebra, zebra, zebra, zebra!)
Frree zila-zzo platt!
Reeh zila-zzo clatt, fuu-litti,
frrow dila-tto platt!
Crow dila-tto pop, stoolitti...

Frree zila-zoo platt!
Reeh zila-zzo clatt fuu-litti
frrow dila-tto platt!
Crow dila-tto clatt! (Here we go!)

Pardy stooley crow detoll,
lasty woll dee brow-den beyoll...

C'mon fey, feekilap wolina grow-dus feelap preevenup!
So prow-dus crow-dus sees tees gees crees!

Oh zebra, zebra, zebra!
Oh zebra, zebra, zebra! Oh!
