'''"Gang-Plank Galleon"''' (titled '''"The Pirate Ship"''' in Japanese soundtracks) is a recurring musical theme in the ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' franchise. The theme was composed by [[David Wise]] and relates to [[King K. Rool]], as well as the eponymous [[Gangplank Galleon]]. The theme has a sea-chanty feel, representing the pirate-esque personality K. Rool has. The theme first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and plays on the final level of the same name.

== Arrangements ==
==Composition==
=== ''Donkey Kong Country'' series ===
The introduction of the theme has a {{wp|sea shanty}} feel, representing the pirate-esque appearance of the stage where the theme is originally heard, though it quickly segues into a more intense battle theme. The theme is loosely based on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] port of the title theme from ''{{wp|Sid Meier's Pirates!}}'', another game developed by [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]].
==== ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' ====
A version of "Gang-Plank Galleon" known as '''"Snakey Chantey"''', composed by Grant Kirkhope, appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. While the intro remains similar, it is noticeably different from the original theme. This theme plays in two levels in [[Krem Quay]] (on the ship hold) and [[Rattle Battle (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rattle Battle]].


==== ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' ====
==Arrangements==
A short tune of "Gank-Plank Galleon" plays when [[Krematoa]] surfaces in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''.
===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' features an arrangement of "Gang-Plank Galleon" titled "'''Snakey Chantey'''"<ref name=Trilogy>''[[Donkey Kong Country Trilogy]]'' tracklist</ref>. While the intro is similar to the original theme, the rest is now in a swing jazz style. This arrangement plays in [[Rattle Battle (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rattle Battle]] and on the ship hold in [[Glimmer's Galleon (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Glimmer's Galleon]].


==== ''Donkey Kong Country'' (Game Boy Advance) ====
