"I Know That Monkey, His Name is Donkey!"

Ok, well, I don't have a character or event to musicalize today.

I have something WAY better.

Back in the 90's, Fox Kids decided that it'd be a good idea to make a CGI cartoon of Donkey Kong Country to appeal to the masses of children on Saturday mornings and their love of video games.

Ok fair enough.  But they had another idea, too.

Let's have DK and the crew sing!

(Wait... sing!?)

Yes, sing.  There are about two seasons of Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Cranky Kong, and our dear King K. Rool getting their groove on in really bad 90's computer animated graphics.

And yes, I love it.  I won't bore you with my own opinions, I'll let you make them for yourselves.  This is just too special not to love.






Ok, was anyone else aware that Donkey Kong was a soulful tenor?  Did I miss the memo?





This song is my favorite.  I can't even believe a song like this exists.




Was the Big Bog Monster a boss in Donkey Kong Country...?




And before you all ask, yes.  King K. Rool was singing metal.  ...oh man.



I hope I didn't destroy your collective childhoods.

Well, that's a lie.
