As long as I can disable it with My Music, I suppose I don't care that much :-p

I guess for history's sake they can keep it in.

THAT SONG!!! IS EPIC!!

=P I remeber it from Donkey Kong 64, I always thought it was the greatest thing ever =P

Then in melee, I heard it again, and it was the greatest thing ever.....again =P

Third time's a charm =)

Yes. But it should be the DK 64 version. It was infinitely better than the Melee version.

H-H-H...Here we go!
So they're finally here, performing for you
If you know the words, you can join in too
Put your hands together if you want to clap
As we take you through this fun-ky rap! HUH!

D. K.! Donkey Kong!

He's the leader of the bunch. You know him well.
He's finally back to kick some tail!
His coconut gun can fire in spurts
If he shoots ya, it's gonna hurt!
He's bigger! faster! and stronger too!
He's the first member of the DK crew!
D. K.! Donkey Kong! HEY!
D. K.! Donkey Kong is here!


This Kong's got style, so listen up dudes!
She shrinks in size to suit her mood!
She's quick n' nimble when she needs to be
She floats in air and climbs up trees!
If you choose her, you won't choose wrong
With a skip and a hop, she's ONE COOL KONG!

D. K.! Donkey Kong!


He has no style, he has no grace
This Kong...has a funny face
He can handstand when he wants to
And stretch his arms out just for you!

In-flate himself just like a balloon
This cra-zy Kong just digs this tune! HEY!
D. K.! (D. K.!) Donkey Kong!
D. K.! (D. K.!) Donkey Kong is here!


He's back again, and about time, too
And this time, he's in the mood!
He can fly real high
with his jetpack on...
With his pistols out, he's one tough Kong!
He can make you smile when you hear his tune...
But, Kremlings beware
'cause he's out after you!
D. K.! Donkey Kong!
D. K.! Donkey Kong!
D. K.! Donkey Kong!
D. K....

Fi-nal-ly, he's here for you!
It's the LAST member of the D. K. crew!
This Kong's...so strong, it isn't funny!
Can make a Kremling cry out for Mummy!
He can pick up a boulder with relative ease
Makes crushing rocks seem such a breeze
He may move slow; he can't jump high
But this Kong's one heck of a guy! Hehehe...

Come on Cranky!
Take it to the stage!

Walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells!
Grapes, melons, oranges, and coconut shells!
Walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells!
Grapes, melons, oranges, and coconut shells!
Oh, yeah!

Best VG music ever. Going on iPod

Donkey Konga-go-go from Donkey Konga 2 is superior to the DK rap in everyway.

And seeing DK's new Final Smash... I'm betting it will be in the game.

The one for DK64 yea, I hated the Melee version :(

Diddy's guitar solo on DK64 was sexy.

I didn\'t really like it so i\'m good if it doesn\'t come back i would like to see a version of the final boss battle music from Donkey kong Country though as that is a sweet theme.

Agreed. If the original is used, it should definitely be back - its the only rap song I've ever enjoyed. If we're talking the mangled, hell-spawned attempt at a remix from Melee, no, that was a disgrace once you got past the stanzas about DK himself.

Edit: For those who've never seen it, the original on youtube.

The bast part of the DK rap was the ending when kremling threw a grenade at the camera.

Well, Sakurai could really and I mean Really exploit the DK Rap, since he has pretty much all of nintendo's assets (and money) at he's disposal he could very well get some real Music artist, the best in the gender for each of the DK rap's music genders.

Imagine Diddy Kong's part playing a tremendous Guitar Solo ala Pink Floyd

Or Snoop Dogg going all gangsta on yo wii

DK rap has a chance to be 100% Epic, its just a matter of how much Sakurai really wants it.

Hell no. Please, for the Love of God, keep that rap away from the game. It brings back terrible memories of the trash DK levels on Melee.

Last I checked, that kind of garbage was exactly why the Melee version was such crap. The original is wonderful, thanks, I'd rather it not get mutilated again.

yeah, in melee it actually sounded pretty good up until the end of DK's stanza, then they go all crazy with the synthesizers or something cause then the voices get all staticy and the tempo keeps changing and whatnot.

if they do include it, they'll prolly remix it again. here's hoping it returns better than ever!

They could take a track from any of the donkey kong country games and it would be so much better.

Eh, I'd Like the DK Rap, but it shouldn't be the official music. It should be something from Jungle Beat. The music should be music from Jungle Beat, The DK Rap, The music from Jungle Japes, and some of that ominous music from any scene with K Rool in it from DK 64. I don't know the track names.

Hmm. I think a mix of Melee and 64 would be best. Diddy's and Tiny's verses need to let up on the synthesizers. The voice actors on 64 sound like Youko as he tells Sakurai to show him his news. They sound like you when you record your voice. The new voices are better, but they screwed it up when they added FX. Keep the vocals and tempo of Melee, but the quality of 64.
