List of Donkey Kong Country (television series) songs

The following is a list of the various songs featured in the Donkey Kong Country animated series. In all, there are eighty-two songs, two for each episode barring "Cranky's Tickle Tonic" (which has one song), "Monkey Seer, Monkey Do" (which has five variations of the same song), and "Message in a Bottle Show" (which has no songs) plus the theme song. Each song corresponds to the theme of the episode. For example, in "The Big Switch-a-Roo", the theme for the episode is body swapping, so one of the songs that corresponds to that episode is about Donkey Kong adapting to his temporary body.

Theme song
This is the opening theme to the animated series. The lyrics and melody of the theme song were written by Pure West. There is also an instrumental version used in the credits.

You push him back quick then you pull him in fast You spin him real hard to make the dizziness last You grab him by the shoulders and you shake him like so Now you're doin' the Banana Do-si-do!

You grab him by the waist, lift him high in the air If you throw him high enough, he'll need intensive care You're doin' a hand-stand, you're walkin' real slow Now you're doin' the Banana Do-si-do!

You promenade as you're dancing through the Everglades Skip to the beat 'til you can't feel your feet!

You grab him by the sides and you bend him in half You tickle his feet so it makes him laugh Hold him in your arms, rock him to-and-fro Now you're doin' the Banana Do-si-do!
