The DK Rap Isn't the Greatest Donkey Kong Song Any More
Posted by James Newton
If it ever was, in fact
Lucky American readers can get their simian fingers on Donkey Kong Country Returns today, but to give your gaming thumbs a rest have a listen to this Donkey Kong song.
Put together by Chad Nikolaus and Angie Griffin, the song takes more than a bit of inspiration from Taio Cruz's Dynamite but with a distinctly DK twist. It's a fun watch so watch and enjoy, and check out our Donkey Kong Country Returns review to celebrate the monkey's return.

Saw this one a while back, and, no it can never be better then the DK Rap. Not even close. I find this one kind of annoying actually.
And watch the use of the caption in the picture. That's trademarked now.

Nice! This is was in the Donkey Kong Country Returns thread too, so I've seen this appear before. Still like the DK Rap though.

If you mean the DK Rap in DK64, then yes.
But the greatest DK rap or song of all time is still here:

This song is so cheesy that it's good. At least it's better than the "Mario Drawing Song."
Bonus points for the attractive Diddy Kong...

The only part I really liked was the Miyamoto part where he's totally not into hanging out with the singer, then he and Iwata are jammin' in the back of the jeep. That killed me.
Here's the DK rap, in case you miss it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uS5A3EqVuo

Yeah, I gotta agree with the people saying this is bad. I found it really annoying, to be honest. DK64 rap is better by a million.

Even though I never really cared for the original DK Rap, it's at least 100x better then this piece of crap. This song is just so annoying and obnoxious!

The ol' DK rap is much better, in my opinion.

This is just internet smut using DK as an excuse to watch women eat bananas -but if it helps kill the DK Rap I can dig it.

@26.Ravage: Yeah, I know! They should have totally used Don't Fear The Reaper instead!

SMEXIZELDAMAN said:

That was great! It's certainly better than that DK Rap version in Post #23.

Cute Diddy, yes. Song, no.
(though I agee with Token Girl, the Miyamoto part was well-played)
I'm more of a Donkey Konga guy, myself.

That's strong like Donkey Kong!

Eff you, Nintendo. It's just not the same now that you had to trademark "the saying".
XD Awesome song though. I'm getting pumped for DKC Returns...even though it's nestled in between Sonic Colors (which is excellent and addictive) and Epic Mickey, which I can't wait for.
