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 six 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.
