Also, it has just come to my attention that the KZbin private message system is apparently still fully functional. I foolishly assumed that private messaging was no longer possible just because KZbin repeatedly stated that the inbox would no longer be functional after the new comment system was launched, and because there is no link to the inbox on the homepage, and because KZbin no longer sends notifications of incoming messages. Consequently, there are a ton of messages I have accidentally ignored over the past month and a half, so I'm going to try to catch up on some of those over the next couple of days.
MP3 coming soon (maybe).

You deserve more recognition for your amazing talent.

[@domicio1577]

There are very talented people around the world that don't even come close to "media", he probably have the recongnition he wants. We don't need 1 milion people saying he's good to realize that.

Well he has 100k subs so yeah he has recognition.

[@RichaadEB]

I think I love you. Best rendition I've heard.

[@matthewblackwelder8139]

I think you should do a metal cover of a Kirkhope tune. I realize this is a comment from 2015 or so, but it'd sound pretty dope

[@ygypt]

yes please, what he said^

[@Metalora]

You're a great musician I look foward to your music! My favorites have to be your rendition of Bloody Tears and One Winged Angel.

[@Fuzunga]

You can definitely pick out Kirkhope's part. His style is so iconic.

[@EXHellfire]

exactly one minute in, right?

[@TheZaaz]

I'd say it's at 1:45. Reminds me so much of Diddy Kong Racing. Also composed by Kirkhope Actusly David wise as confirmed by the man below.

[@HermesTheLoser]

Joshua Butt DKR was David Wise

[@TheZaaz]

@@HermesTheLoser holy shit. Right you are. My mistake...

[@brainbin]

@@EXHellfire Most of this cover is based on Kirkhope's "Jungle Japes" rearrangement of Wise's original, which is evident starting at 0:29. It's only at 3:12 that Wise's original arrangement is heard again.

[@snubbyj]

Great cover! Gotta love DK music :-)

[@PoopPoopFart]

Thanks Snubby! And thank you for your Q&A video about building PVC instruments, it was a huge help to me when I was initially trying to figure out how to make music from PVC pipes.

[@watchinglearner]

I've been waiting for someone to properly do both versions of Jungle Japes in one, and this rendition is absolutely perfect!

[@dogman15]

Now someone needs to combine Jungle Japes with The Monkey Song from Disney's The Jungle Book.

[@jasonvancura2139]

​@@dogman15Yes, the part at 1:23 sounds like I Wanna Be Like You

[@DavidErickRamos]

I was going to say that you play way too many instruments. And then you brought in the pipes and barrel o_o

[@Jeff_in_3D]

He ran out of playable instruments and had to get creative :)

[@jessicaclara572]

Lol

[@Blaze850]

Too many instruments? That's coming from the guy with 5,000 ocarinas on his wall...

[@EthanAlbaTheFaceGuy]

***** And of course there's the piano, guitar, bass, drum, Hang Drum (apparently), and the smartphone if you don't count that as another ocarina :P

[@Blaze850]

Haha yeah. The phone ocarina XD.

[@lolhehe420]

3:16 - 4:39 has always been my favorite part of Island Swing... making the earth shake from playing it so loud! Great job!

[@JosiahEverhart]

Fantastic work as always. I'd venture to say that you make the best VG covers on KZbin. Your arrangements are always spot on.

The PVC pipe instrument is so creative, I love this!

[@ColinBrain]

Good lord; you have, and play, a lot of instruments.

[@martinaee]

Sometimes one just has to pull out the flip-flop!

[@BarnacleButtock]

He does alot of rentals.

[@raphaelvermin]

​@@BarnacleButtock Most of these instruments are pretty affordable. Melodica for example are generally less than $100 and most wind instruments litter pawnshops everywhere for almost nothing with the exception being saxophones, and bassoons. Learning to play all of these is whats actually impressive. I can pickup most instruments and within a few minutes play a couple things but this guy has comprehension of even the mysterious flip flop.

[@ICharlyl]

This must be your best video to date, it looked like you worked very hard for this one and it's amazing.

[@PoopPoopFart]

Thank you! Yeah, this one took ages to finish. Surprisingly, one of the hardest parts was finding a reasonably priced barrel to use for the ending (which I never actually found, so I ended up just stacking two wooden basins together to create a semblance of a barrel).

[@Limescale12]

There are a lot of these types of acoustic covers on the interwebs but there are few that are this good and true to their original source. Bravo 👏

[@nullus000]

Essa versão ficou magnífica. A forma como você utiliza vários intrumentos divergentes, deixa ttudo mais "orgânico" e fluido. É uma ótima composição, as escolhas para os instrumentos são muito bem pensadas.

[@booj4363]

I love that you hold every instrument the way an instruction manual would tell you to hold them, such clinical precision.

[@johnsonactivity]

man not only is this one of the best pieces in video game history you've done it perfectly. kudos wonderful human

[@WormyLeWorm]

I'm always impressed by your plethora of instruments, found or otherwise, and aptitude with them; It inspires me greatly.

[@FluffyKiri]

Donkey Kong's music is so beautifully composed. Songs are often energetic, filling you with a sense of adventure while exploring the level's environment. While simultaneously being emotionally expressive. A sense of comfort and nature are a cherry on top for me in this project, combined with the great choice in sound design. Having a fun jazz time in the first halve, then suddenly the percussion kicks in that bring me to tears. I can't wait to hear you cover Aquatic Ambiance!

[@pessimisticAI]

As always, superb performance, excellent lighting and editing as well! With every video you are always pushing yourself, making it better and better each time, and this is no exception. It is beyond a doubt your finest work to date. Everything about this is professional and just excellent. Keep up the good work.

God, I think this is your best video yet. Ten out of ten, amazing. The best. Ever. ... Though I do have a question... Why "PoopPoopFart"? That's just been itching at the back of my mind for awhile. :o

[@PoopPoopFart]

Thanks! Regarding my user name, back when I was originally signing up for KZbin, I tried registering with a bunch of other names first, but I couldn't seem to find a name that hadn't already been taken. So eventually I got frustrated and just started typing obscenities into the text box until something went through. Surprisingly, "Poop" and "PoopPoop" were already registered, so this is the name that stuck. Also, I should point out that when I first signed up, I had no intention of ever posting videos, so at the time I didn't really foresee any problem with being named after feces.

[@spaghettiskateboard8275]

Ah, very interesting! And it does sound about right, a lot of the names I was trying for was taken, luckily I remembered this one. But yeah, you are absolutely amazing.~
