List of Donkey Kong Country (television series) songs: Difference between revisions

The following is a list of the various '''songs featured in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' television 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 and whatever events are occurring in it.

<blockquote><i>Hoo! Hah!<br>Hoo, hah!<br>[[Donkey Kong]]!<br>

Heeeeyyyyyy, oh! Look out down below!<br>Here he comes, banana slamma!<br>[[Donkey Kong Island|Kongo Bongo]]'s hero!<br>

Heeeeyyyyyy, oh! Look out down below!<br>Here he comes, banana slamma!<br>

Donkey Kong!<br>Heeeeyyyyyy, oh! Donkey Kong, let's go, let's go!<br>Here he comes, banana slamma!<br>Hooooo, HAH!</i></blockquote>

'''Cause I'm [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]]<br>I got my finger on the beat<br>Yeah, I'm Cranky<br>The oldest, wisest [[Kong|ape]] you'll ever meet!''

In the episode "Bad Hair Day", after a group of [[Kritter]]s attach the [[Candy Clone]]'s head to her body as per [[King K. Rool]] and [[General Klump]]'s orders, she sings "'''{{conjectural|Candy Clone}}'''".

''I'm [[Candy Kong]]'s [[Candy Clone|clone]]<br>We look like we're one and the same<br>I know what you're thinking<br>But, honey, I'm no ordinary dame''

''Arrh, when I was a young lad, [[List of implied characters#Kaptain Skurvy's father|my father]] said to me<br>"Arrh, lend an ear and learn some pirate history!<br>Once a fearsome pirate ruled the seven seas<br>He was your great-great-great-grandpappy, [[List of implied characters#Quint Skurvy|Quint Skurvy]]!"<br>He told me tall tales of his ill-begotten gains<br>But the greatest treasure of them all still haunts me to this day!''

''I'll make you swab the deck and then I'll throw you in the brig!<br>I swear I'll make you walk the plank to right the wrong you did!<br>The day you mess with Skurvy, arrh, you'll wish you were never born!<br>When the [[Crystal Coconut|Coconut]] is mine, then you'll feel this pirate's scorn!''

''He hid it in an idol where it stayed for many years<br>But the eye of [[Inka Dinka Doo]] did shed the crystal tear<br>It lay upon the ground until, much to my surprise<br>A stupid ape just wandered by and snatched my treasured prize<br>He discovered it possessed extraordinary power<br>But stealing it from Skurvy would be his darkest hour!''

In the episode "Raiders of the Lost Banana", when Donkey Kong has just rescued Candy Kong from King K. Rool's clutches, the two sing "'''{{conjectural|Our Love is Stronger Than a Golden Banana}}'''". This song is one of the few instances [[Richard Yearwood]], Donkey Kong's voice actor, provides the vocals instead of Sterling Jarvis.

BOTH:<br>''Our love is stronger than a Golden Banana<br>Our love is stronger than a Golden Banana<br>Stronger than a Golden Banana

In the episode "From Zero to Hero", as King K. Rool's Kritter minions are hailing him for his successful claiming of the Crystal Coconut, K. Rool begins singing "'''{{conjectural|My Finest Hour}}'''". This song shares the same rhythm as "Krook's March" from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''.

''Anyone can dance<br>Anyone can do it<br>Follow my lead<br>'Cause there ain't nothing to it''

''Anyone can dance<br>Anyone can do it<br>Follow my lead<br>'Cause there ain't nothing to it''

In the episode "[[The Curse of Kongo Bongo]]", after Cranky Kong warns Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong of the potential dangers from the Curse of the Double Doubloon, the former two sing "'''{{conjectural|Bluebeard Baboon's Curse of the Double Doubloon}}'''".

''I was blinded by ambition<br>When I lost my inhibition<br>Now suddenly I'm wishin'<br>To be back where I belong<br>In the advertising rat race<br>At a crazy, frenzied pace<br>I was taking full advantage<br>And that's where I went wrong

''I wanna know the secrets that the crystal holds<br>And all the magic power that it brings<br>I'm the big kahuna! I should know what's going on<br>Inka Dinka, tell me everything!''

''Give up my autographed picture of my idol King Kong<br>Or my tickets to the Dingling Bros. Circus show<br>Could be my Planet of the Apes trading cards<br>Inka Dinka, tell me what to let go!''

In the episode "Legend of the Crystal Coconut", after King K. Rool asks General Klump and Krusha to return the Crystal Coconut out of fear that he has fallen for a trap, the scene transitions between three different groups singing "'''{{conjectural|Gotta Get it Back}}'''".

''Huh?<br>Me Eddie. Me an ol' yeti.<br>Me like you. Ooh!<br>Me a yeti.<br>Me not so mean. Me not even old.<br>Have a nice tuque.''

''Don't knock it 'til you try it!''

''Lyin', lootin', stealin' is the reason we are pirates!<br>Ransackin', pillagin', don't knock it 'til you try it!<br>Plunderin' and pilferin' make up a healthy diet,<br>Arrh, look at us! We're doin' the Booty Boogie!<br>Arrh, from sea to sea! We're doin' the Booty Boogie!''

In the episode "[[Watch the Skies]]", when Funky Kong is explaining to Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong at night about the "aliens" he knows about, he sings "'''{{conjectural|Interplanetary Visitor Dudes}}'''".  The song's instrumentation and opening notes parody the {{wp|The X-Files (composition)|''X-Files'' theme}}, while the ending notes parody the {{wp|Theme from Close Encounters of the Third Kind|theme from ''Close Encounters of the Third Kind''}}.

''My villainy will be passed on for generations<br>And you will rule the universe with a iron claw and--

In the episode "The Big Chill Out", when Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are tired following Bluster's suggestion to expand their Coconut Chill business beyond [[Donkey Kong Island|Kongo Bongo Island]], Donkey Kong pulls out a trumpet and the two sing "'''{{conjectural|Over the Hill}}'''". Notably, for the entirety of the song, the visuals are in a sepia tone.

''I'm gonna be a star!<br>I'm gonna be admired like [[List of implied people#James Dean|James Dean]] or [[List of implied characters#Mr. Bean|Mr. Bean]]<br>I'm gonna be a smash!<br>You'll see me on the town with big name stars<br>Spending all of my Do-Re-Mi-cold cash!

CANDY & DIXIE:<br>

''Diddly-dee, diddly-doo<br>Mystic oracle, hello to you!<br>Check it out, swing on by<br>Something something cosmic eye

''Kingly seer, kingly do<br>Mystic oracle, I summon you<br>Grace me, grant me, hop on by<br>Enchant me with your cosmic eye

In the episode "[[Four Weddings and a Coconut]]", when Diddy Kong convinces Donkey Kong that Candy Kong does not actually wish to marry him, the two sing "'''{{conjectural|Yes Means No}}'''".

''So, if I ask her to be wed, it really means no instead?<br>It doesn't make much sense to you if she really doesn't want me too?''

''Yes means no and no means yes, it should be rather obvious<br>If you ask, she will say "nay", a swinging bachelor you will stay.''

''You bow to the left, you bow to the right<br>You take your partner's hand and you hold on tight<br>You pull him in close and you don't let go<br>Now you're doin' the Banana Do-si-do!''

In the episode "[[The Big Switch-a-Roo]]", when Diddy Kong realizes that Donkey Kong's brain and larynx are inside the body of Bluster Kong's robot, they both sing "'''{{conjectural|Metal Head}}'''". The final verse parodies the song "{{wp|Around the World (Daft Punk song)|Around the World}}" by {{wp|Daft Punk}}.

''I'm not light on my feet, now I clank and I squeak<br>But my voice is the same when I speak<br>My hand looks like aluminum foil<br>Does this mean that I need a tune-up and a change of oil?

''Okay, that's enough! All o' you '''head''' on outta here!''
