Wake Up, Babe--The DK Rap Is Back And Better Than Ever
Get ready to go through this monkey rap one more time
"This isn't just a nostalgia trip--it's a full-blown, banana-fueled celebration, with revisited recordings and versions re-arranged by composer Grant Kirkhope. Track titles have also been updated to match their intended destiny," the official song description reads. "Remade by the legend himself, Grant Kirkhope: The original composer and living legend who brought you the unforgettable tracks of Banjo-Kazooie and GoldenEye 007 has returned to remaster the DK64 soundtrack."
Kevin Bayliss, the designer of the original Donkey Kong 64 characters, even provided the cover album and inserts as well.
DK Rap was featured in last year's megahit The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but Kirkhope was not credited for the film, the only instance of that ever happening. The song has subsequently appeared in multiple games since then--most notably as stage music in multiple Super Smash Bros. games--and Kirkhope was credited as the original composer in every other use.
