DK Rap

The DK Rap is a rap song about Donkey Kong shown in the begining of Donkey Kong 64.

It is infamous for its considerably corny lyrics, and the fact that it uses the word "hell", despite being featured in an E-Rated game. It was created by James W. Norwood Jr.

This song returned in Super Smash Bros. Melee in the Kongo Jungle level. However this rap was sung by someone else and made faster. Additionally, the third and fifth verses describing Tiny Kong and Diddy Kong were removed, and the word "hell" was replaced by "heck" (an unusual move, as this game was rated T). The DK Rap is also reused in Donkey Konga, as one of the game's many songs.

The Rap Song
Here, here, here we go, So they're finally here, Performing for you, If you know the words, You can join in too,

Put your hands together, if you want to clap, As we take you through, this monkey rap, Huh!! DK, Donkey Kong!! He's the leader of the bunch, you know him well, He's finally back to kick some tail, His Coconut Gun can fire in spurts, If he shoots ya, it's gunna hurt, He's bigger, faster and stronger too, He's the first member of the DK crew! Huh!! DK, Donkey Kong!! DK, Donkey Kong is here!! This Kong's got style, so listen up dudes, She can shrink in size, to suit her mood, She's quick and nimble when she needs to be, She can float through the air and climb up trees, If you choose her, you'll not choose wrong, With a skip and a hop, she's one cool Kong! Huh!! DK, Donkey Kong!! He has no style, he has no grace, This Kong has a funny face, He can handstand when he needs to, And stretch his arms out just for you, Inflate himself just like a balloon, This crazy Kong just digs this tune! Huh!! DK, Donkey Kong!! DK, Donkey Kong is here!! He's back again and about time too, And this time he's in the mood, He can fly real high with his jetpack on, With his pistols out he's one tough Kong, He'll make you smile when he plays his tune, But Kremlings beware 'cause he's after you! Huh!! DK, Donkey Kong!! Huh!! Finally he's here for you, It's the last member of the DK crew, This Kong's so strong, it isn't funny, Can make a Kremling cry out for mommy, Can pick up a boulder with relative ease, Makes crushing rocks seem such a breeze, He may move slow, he can't jump high, But this Kong is one hell * of a guy! Huh!! C'mon Cranky take it to the fridge! W-w-w-walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells, Grapes, melons, oranges and coconut shells, Oh yeah!!, Walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells, Grapes, melons, oranges and coconut shells, Oh yeah!!

*Later replaced by heck.

Trivia

 * The line "His coconut gun can fire in spurts. If he shoots ya, it's gonna hurt!" was once voted as the forth worst line in a video game ever by the magazine, Electronic Gaming Monthly in January, 2002.
