Love how many Tropical Freeze songs are on here. That soundtrack is truly amazing. Probably my favourite out of all of them.

[@xga312]

Well, that proves you are a kid, you probably dont know the magnitude the music of the first county series, got on the people of that time, when in videogames we were used to mediocre and repetitive music like the one on the genesis. The super nintendo introduced complete and orchestal music, the music on the new donkey kongs (returns, and the mediocre tropical frezze), is like many games on this time and I cant just understand how is it your favorite, it a great downfall in the DK series in my opinion, tropical freeze has the worst music by far, but whatever, kids like you like it, so I cant do anything about it.

[@OmegaMetroid93]

@@xga312 Lmao, your profile says you were 12 when you made it, which was at the earliest 2013. So now you would be, what, 19? I'm almost a solid 10 years older than you, bud. Imagine having such trouble understanding that people can have different opinions in music. I'm well aware of how good the OG DKC music is. I just prefer Tropical Freeze.

[@awesomezilla]

@@xga312 Bruh bruh bruh, there are very few modern soundtracks that are even similar to Tropical Freeze, and while of course DKC1 was always going to have more magnitude behind it, and it does have a bopper soundtrack, Tropical freeze to me feels like the originals but free from the hardware limitations, and is Stellar all around.

[@JackoBanon1]

The DKC2 soundtrack is still the best.

[@charlessugg6102]

@@OmegaMetroid93 I agree, as someone who grew up with the SNES DKC trilogy, Tropical Freeze is my favorite soundtrack when it comes to the amount of songs that I love. Love the OG trilogy music, but I prefer Tropical Freeze more.

[@unbrokenzebra8192]

I would have Busted Bayou or the Rocket Barrel theme on the list but this is still an excellent collection of some truly amazing songs

[@MikeeDeeRules20000]

I SHOWER YOU WITH COCONUT CREAM PIE IS THE BEST DK COUNTRY SONG

[@The4everreival]

My favorite ones are Fear Factory and Sticker brush Symphony. I'm pretty Happy they're both pretty high on this list.

[@Rodanguirus]

Your order is wild to me, but this is an overall excellent representation of the DKC series as a whole (I love hearing both DKC3 soundtracks getting love). Your top 2 tracks would both make my personal top 5 and I think they both get slept on a lot. Great video!

[@rafaelc.c.]

Very good list. I miss Jungle Hijinx and DKC Returns Title theme, but, wow, what a good list.

[@DigitalGreenTea]

Great list! I've always adored the music in the DKC games!

[@lordroy88]

YOU FORGOT GEAR GETAWAY AND MOLE PATROL!

[@harvardnshorty]

This is the first top DKC songs list that included my favorite, Nuts and Bolts, in it! Thank you!

[@mattdog1000000]

Nice list. I was glad to see you included a song from DKC3 GBA as well. What also would've been nice would be some commentary (just in text at the bottom of the video) describing what you loved about the song an such.

[@EcneBanjo]

Michael Peterson thanks. i might try that in future videos

[@KokonutOil]

Just gonna say it. Stickerbush at 7 is criminal

[@Karpalospo]

Stickerbush symphony at 7? Seriusly?

[@IantoAndIvory]

I know.

[@zioncradle7287]

For real do

[@Rodanguirus]

I mean, it's an undeniable masterpiece, but I'd personally rank Mining Melancholy and Forest Interlude above it from DKC2. Probably Scorch 'n Torch and the Snowmads' Theme as well. So 7's not a huge stretch. The series is loaded with killer tracks.

[@ReMayor02]

And from DKCR?

[@Joao_Lucas-JKL48]

​@@ReMayor02 são musicas fracas

[@LMC764]

yes but reconsider

[@GunMastaRevolverLord]

i bet it was hard to choose what songs go where, the soundtracks for these games are phenomenal and way ahead of their time. try doing a top 10 dkc songs....its impossible to choose due to there being so many good ones, great list either way! also thank you for not putting the brambles as number 1, it is a very, very good song but i feel like its overrated to the point of it being number 1 on all lists

[@charlessugg6102]

Totally agreed, David Wise is a legend. In my opinion what Jeremy Soule is to the Elder Scrolls series, David Wise is exactly that for Donkey Kong Country, Irreplaceable.

[@thisisaname589]

Ah, Forest Interlude as number 1? I see you are a man of culture as well...

[@MR-ce4wy]

No Gear Getaway? But good list anyway

[@awesomezilla]

I personally like Snowmads Theme from Tropical Freeze and would've put it high up here but great list otherwise.

[@NahNotNFS]

Automatic Action/Music Madness should be in top 10, easily.

[@TheProfessionalReject]

1. Forest Interlude 2. Stickerbush Symphony 3. Aquatic Ambience I think the Stickerbush Symphony on GBA is better than the original but disagree for the other two

[@8dreadLock8]

I love that you put Jib Jig number 4 =)

[@luukhendriks5958]

I'm just seeing this list today, and I might not completely agree with the order, but I agree with literally all of them. And I wanna say, Cavern Caprice and Treetop Tumble would be a great 31st and 32nd spot

[@jaxixteen]

Awesome list!

[@TheUnholyOneDsQ]

Just FYI it's Stickerbush Symphony but great vid after all

[@FortunAdlaich]

Nothing from the dkc show?

[@ammbr]

Goosebumps

[@samuelj2475]

Cool. :-) Thanks for sharing.

[@Plasmariel]

The main attraction is obviously Stickerbrush Symphony at No7

[@DarielChavezV.]

ganplank galleon

[@MinerDude369]

Crocodile Cacophony is better

[@Jimmytheman1]

Forest interlude being no 1 is no surprise as it’s my favourite…but what about the roller disco in DKC2

[@NahNotNFS]

I would swap the place of "Life in the Mines" with "Fear Factory".

[@danielfloresretamal2471]

pure gold

[@TuxEarth]

Do a Kirby song list next.....

[@BoomerZoomer69]

I'm commenting before I can look at the whole list I just hoping mast blast is in here Ya know the bomb level in return? Oh ya nobody cared about return -_-

[@bennickss]

Top 5: 5: Gangplank Galleon 4: Mangrove Cove 3: Gear Getaway 2: Mole Patrol 1: Palm Tree Groove

[@chequiselias4137]

[@RedSpXder64]

When it said dkc series I thought you ment the tv show

[@Kfowlkes09]

Huh, Automatic Action would probably be in my top 5. Good list otherwise.

[@freedbyyeshua533]

God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). We’re not sinners because we sin, but rather we sin because we’re sinners. Sin is the nature of our flesh that we are born with due to the sin of Adam in the garden. For someone to be justified before God they have to be sinless. We’ve all sinned (Romans 3:23), and the the law demands death for those who sin (Romans 6:23). God is righteous, so He must punish our sin, which is what He did through His Son Jesus Christ on the cross. Jesus is Holy and sinless, yet He received our sin when He died on the cross, so that we can be righteous before God (2 Corinthians 5:21). When He died on the cross, He said “It is finished” (John 19:30), which means He paid the full price for all of your sins (past, present, and future) to be forgiven. He was buried and rose again from the dead. God will forgive anybody who puts their full trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. We aren’t saved based on our good deeds, but only by the grace of God (Ephesians 2:8-9). His precious blood that He shed is the only reason why we can be forgiven of our sins (Hebrews 9:22). If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead, then you’ll be saved (Romans 10:9). You are born-again with the Spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and are not only legally justified before God, but also are accredited His righteous (Romans 4:24). Believers live for Christ now, so get to know Him through His Word. I recommend reading the book of Romans and the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), and watching Pastor Joseph Prince’s online videos!!!
