Wow, it's crazy to hear one of the best musical artists of all time mashed up with Phil Collins

[@emmettturner9452]

LOL! Guess I’m not the only one with that perspective. ;)

David truly was Wise.

[@tonytran07]

[@judyhopps9380]

makes sense. Donkey Kong was on the Snes, but Phil Collins was all about Genesis.

[@breegull64]

Sounds like Phil Collins is giving a concert in the swamps.

[@PennyFan92]

I wonder if this was recommended to people who have recently listened to in the air and the donkey Kong soundtrack. I have done this recently wondering if all of you have done the same ?? Funny how the algorithm works

[@schkoopdawhoop7885]

[@tjg121389]

A friend sent me this a few years ago. I had forgotten about it for a while, but it just popped back into my recommended today. I am very glad.

I can feel it coming real soon, maybe tonight

[@whickervision742]

jeez when that miner melancholy hits it fucking hits hard

for real

[@MagnathorSonofArmok]

i remember first hearing in the air tonight when i was like 5 and being disappointed it wasn't the swamp song from donkey kong. that sentiment has stayed with me whole life, i vocalize it almost every time i hear the song. i feel so supremely understood now. thank you. this is a video i would have made had you not.

It's all about the building anticipation towards The Moment, and when The Moment hits, it hits harder than getting punched in the face by Donkey Kong. Just perfection

[@CocoaBean3977]

Almost 12 years later and people are still finding this. What a classic mashup, deserves more views after all this time. Let's hope the algorithm gives it a sudden burst of attention

[@m00rtin4]

wtf did i just find?

[@jacob1121]

Confirmed, just got this recommended after listening to the restored versions some days ago and, this is a true gem.

[@andrewpenna4029]

Just found it today, myself. Bless.

[@brenicillin]

it has done just that

[@emilyford5055]

It's giving oingo boingo vibes

[@canaisyoung3601]

The inclusion of video game soundtrack music. Or maybe putting nature sounds in 1980s soft rock was a thing. And if it wasn't, it should have been.

[@TheDoomMaster]

All these years later and still nothing hits harder than that Mining Melancholy section.

[@TheColdestBoi]

I showed this to my friend and he said "it's Donkey Kollins" 🤣

[@z3roo0]

Bayou boogie was influnced by this song, so it makes perfect sense they meld well together.

[@rehmsmeyer]

Are you an absolute brainlet? Philly C. was influenced by the SNES and DKC2. He literally admitted to it on Ellen.

[@Ce13stialBunny]

David Wise DID credit Phil Collins to be his biggest inspiration for DKC 2’s Soundtrack

[@ThereturnofAnderson]

No he didn't. This is a common misconception. You can look at interviews with the guy, and they always bring this up and he's like "I get why people would think so, but it never crossed my mind when I was making these"

I am angry at KZbin for taking over 11 years to recommend this to me. What an amazing High Quality Game Rip!

[@stickfigure805]

the stinger at 3:43 is what i live for

[@WfrArcPol]

The moody DK beat combined with Phil's drums makes me N U TT

[@ImTheMayor]

I was like "that's pretty cool I guess" then the beat dropped and my jaw did too

[@plum-locorecords8108]

I thought this was going to be terrible. I don't think i have ever been more wrong. When Mining Melancholy comes in is insanely good.

[@earlrimback3596]

Mining Melancholy is my favorite track in the game (also one of my top ten favorite tracks). Once I heard it kick in, I almost lost my 💩

[@Quills64]

funny, i had the exact opposite reaction

[@artsyomni]

@@Quills64 Those pesky expectations. They really change everything. I went in with no expectations and I thought it was... pretty okay. =P I think the ideas had some potential that the mix didn't quite live up to. Probably would turn out pretty great if there was a quality isolated vocal to mess with.

[@YAIAAC]

Read this comment exactly when the drop came and my life changed forever

[@TazmilyGum]

This is the best version of the song and I’m not even joking

[@helmsly2010]

imagine Donkey Kong playing the drums to this, like the Cadbury's gorilla commerical

[@n.g5855]

Pretty sure someone actually did that, forgot what it was called.

[@user-bi6po6zj1f]

Dude yes!

[@MSCDonkeyKong]

i did the drums for the lockjaw's saga segment

[@n.g5855]

I found what it was called, a video called Donkey Kong Country Phil by HippoCrit. Starts around 1:03 of the video.

[@briangruenewald7536]

That Cadbury gorilla was vibin 😎

[@stephenfrancais]

The algorithm knew it was time to unleash this on the world.

[@Conellossus]

So amazing especially at 3:42.

[@warbossgegguz679]

So Phil Collins inspired David Wise when making the donkey kong country soundtracks (according to Wise himself), and then later went on to do the soundtrack for Tarzan. Coincidence?

[@leobelmont8435]

Is the Cadbury chocolate gorilla (who plays 'In the Air Tonight' in that commercial) linked to this!?

I wouldn't be surprised if David Wise was inspired by Phil Collins' use of synthetic pieces.

[@cerisejaxel9636]

Crazy that it’s been 12 years! I found this in high school and would listen to it in the library because it was my only access to KZbin at the time (since my mom had it blocked at home.) I wonder if KZbin removes likes because I’m certain I liked this long ago, but it wasn’t there just now. Anyway, this is still legendary!

[@Mamashmeeky]

This is ahead of its time for early 2010. This video seems like it came out yesterday

[@guitgodd]

I remember playing DKC 2 Constantly when I was a kid. I never had any idea who Phil Collins was, but In the air tonight was obviously always playing on the radio so I heard it a bunch and every time I made it to Krem Quay, I just knew they sounded super similar. Glad to see I'm not the only one who grew up with that magic!

[@TazmilyGum]

Phil Collins AND David Wise? Yes please.

[@the3rdsideofthings771]

At first, I was skeptical. But then it dropped. Truly ahead of its time, especially for being as old as it is.

Perfect… it WAS PERFECT! Everything, down to the last minute details

[@vuke6931]

Had this pop in my feed a few days ago and I keep. coming. back. In The Air Tonight already slapped, but the blending done here simply ascends this song to a different dimension of existence. This is why I love getting videos from a decade+ ago in my feed

[@dantheguy3303]

Been coming back for years, such a good mix

[@TazmilyGum]

I seriously will fucking stand by this being the best way to listen to Coming in the Air Tonight. The ambience is a small touch but it adds a lot and when the SFX become more melodic after the iconic drum beat it becomes absolutely amazing and more impactful. I know this game was technically on the SNES but I never knew it would work so well with a member of Genesis lmao.

[@aidenliveandreloaded2522]

SAME That part at the end with mining melancholy hits too fucking hard its way to good This is the definitive version of the song

[@Uhbliviun]

this sounds like something that would be on the actual Face Value album right after hand in hand

[@BFCrusader]

For some reason, I didn't connect the title of the video with this song. But as I listened, I started thinking that the sound reminds me of "that song Phil Collins sang". Then I was proven right and I laughed as it all fell into place in my mind. And it is a sweet mix.

[@TheBardbarians]

Oh honey, we need to edumacate you about Philly boy. Did I ever tell you about that one song about a man living in an apartment being disturbed by the neighbors on the other side of the wall fucking?

"Thru These Walls," off _Hello, I Must Be Going!_ Far from being disturbed, the character in the song rather.....enjoyed it.
