Rewrote this entire description. I also removed information regarding DK's speed as I doubt that description is meant to be literal.

 ==Description==
-The rap starts with [[Cranky Kong]]'s hands mixing records on a turntable. The sequence then cuts to the five playable [[Kong]]s in a group; [[Chunky Kong]] is wearing a 1970s-era disco outfit, only to rush offscreen and change into his regular outfit. Throughout the rap, each Kong is introduced in this order: Donkey Kong, [[Tiny Kong|Tiny]], [[Lanky Kong|Lanky]], [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]], and Chunky. It explains each Kong's unique traits varying from their abilities, weapons, and instruments. In each of the Kong's verses, a different instrument can be heard: Donkey Kong's is a muted trumpet, Tiny's is a saxophone, Lanky's is a trombone, Diddy's is a guitar, and Chunky's is a {{wp|timpani}}. Near the end of the rap, Cranky starts to "take it to the fridge." An audience can be heard giving the five playable Kongs a standing ovation before [[Klump]] throws a grenade to the screen, ending the rap.

-In the lyrics of the song, the Kongs' abilities, strengths, and weaknesses are described to the player. There are some false statements throughout the rap. During the line about Tiny that says "she can float through the air and climb up trees," Tiny is shown climbing up one of the two thick palm trees; while playing the game in Adventure Mode, only Chunky can climb thick palm trees while using his [[Hunky Chunky]] ability. Aside from Donkey Kong being described as "bigger" and "stronger," he is also described as "faster," despite being the second-slowest character in the game behind Chunky.
+The rap starts with [[Cranky Kong]]'s hands mixing records on a turntable. The sequence then cuts to the five playable [[Kong]]s in a group; [[Chunky Kong]] is wearing a 1970s-era disco outfit, only to rush offscreen and change into his regular outfit. Throughout the rap, each Kong is introduced in this order: Donkey Kong, [[Tiny Kong|Tiny]], [[Lanky Kong|Lanky]], [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]], and Chunky. It explains each Kong's unique traits varying from their abilities, weapons, and instruments. Donkey Kong's verse primarily focuses on his [[Coconut Shooter]] (referred to as a Coconut Gun) where he shoots down three [[Zinger|Zingers]]. In Tiny's verse, it focuses on her [[Mini-Monkey]] and [[Pony Tail Twirl]] abilites, the former of which is shown by Tiny shrinking herself to beat up a [[Klaptrap]]. Notably, it shows Tiny climbing thick palm trees which is only possible as Chunky with his [[Hunky Chunky]] ability. In Lanky's verse, it describes his [[OrangStand]] and [[Baboon Balloon]] abilities. During the OrangStand scene, Lanky accidently crashes himself offscreen. In Diddy's verse, it describes his ability to use the [[Rocketbarrel Boost]] with the [[Barrel Jet|Jetbarrel]]. At one point, various [[Kaboom|TNT Bombers]] approach Diddy, only for him to throw an explosive [[orange]] at them. Lastly, Chunky's verse describes his great strength which are shown by him scaring a [[Klump]] by enlarging himself (in reference to the Hunky Chunky ability) and being able to pick up [[Boulder|boulders]]. It also describes his clumsy and slow behavior by showing him accidently throwing a boulder onto himself and moving slowly and not being able to [[jump]] high enough to collect a [[Golden Banana]]. Once he jumps high enough, he misses the Golden Banana and lands on the floor, for which several [[Banana|bananas]] cover the screen. In each of the Kong's verses, a different instrument can be heard: Donkey Kong's is a muted trumpet, Tiny's is a saxophone, Lanky's is a trombone, Diddy's is a guitar, and Chunky's is a {{wp|timpani}}.
+Near the end of the song, Cranky starts to mix on his turntable, for which the bridge of the song plays, consisting of the various fruit and foods shot from each of the Kongs' weapons. An audience can be heard giving the five playable Kongs a standing ovation before a [[Klump]] throws an orange to the screen, ending the rap.
