DK Island Swing / Jungle Theme (from Donkey Kong Country) | Purple Comet Orchestra
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лют 2025
- It's time to party in the jungle! This arrangement, originally written in 2012, was one of the most-viewed and commented of the old videos on this channel, so it seemed high time for an enhanced remake! This brand-new version features outstanding professional musicians from both Canada and the US, and is expanded from 7 musicians into a "mini big band" of 11 players (plus a lot of percussion!). This is our biggest project yet and it took about 4 months to complete... Enjoy!

I can just imagine Donkey Kong as like an old fashioned cartoon like Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry.
Play this at my wedding, funeral, and ascent to heaven
Los escucho y me dan ganas de jugar y bailar al mismo tiempo
yo lo hago
This is criminally underrated!
0:32 I'm here for this lol
FINALLY, a cover of this that perfectly builds up that drum segment in the beginning. And all the little twists that you guys did with this track are fantastic!
The best version no cap
Goat 🎉
my god that flute riff is sublime
Here he comes banana slamma
やば！めちゃめちゃかっこいい😎
原曲にもリスペクトがあるのを感じるし、聴くとテンション上がる！
That is my jam
I have been looking for a video like this for a while. But I never found really any good remixes of jungle hijinx untill now. Thanks.
Stupidly underrated, deserve a hell of a lot more views than this
this whole song is nastyyy /pos. absolutely fantastic work everyone
I just love that little piano phrase right before the tune gets goin. One of my favorite game songs.
The bassist's face is gold
And the slapping was unexpected but DAMN I didn't know how much I needed it
Sax bros goin off 🤘🏻
THIS BANGER IS PRECISELY WHY I LOVE DK COUNTRY
used to play this game on the SNES back in the 90s. Best years of my life!
The 90s were pretty much the golden age of gaming, weren't they?
@@PurpleCometOrchestra for sure! Can’t beat it!
Friend send this to me right after a woke up. Great song to start the day!!
I love everyone's individual sounds!
This song is meant to be jazz through and through, and you guys nailed it! Fantastic!
Me and the bois on a field trip to the concert hall, stumbling into the room where they keep the instruments.
Este es el MEJOR COVER DE TODA LA VIDA.
HOLY INCREDIBLE PRODUCTION! well done, well earned sub and like.
Thanks so much! :)
why was i not subbed? your comment welcomed exploration; this guy makes bangers ~
Love the drums in this. oh the memories! Awesome job! ❤❤❤❤
Hidden gem.
this deserves more views
Absolutely SUPERB. I definitely wish I found this song so much sooner. I tip my hat to you.
Never too late! Thanks so much. :)
damnnn the original saxophone guy is still here!
Groovy
Welcome to bonus stage
This is what this piece is at its full potential. Congrats.
Parabéns .
Ficou perfeito.
Tudo muito harmonioso
This is actually quiet cool!
Whooaa can we give a hand to the video editing? Everything was cut so on cue across so many different instruments. It really helped highlight the contributions of each instrument
Thanks for noticing! I put a considerable amount of work into that. :)
why doesn't this have like 30 million views? AMAZING!
Tell your friends. :)
@Admins - please fix the UA-cam algorithm, so more people can enjoy these funky jazzy banana vibes.
Really ❤ you guys! Subscribed - maybe this fixes it.
P.S. Please consider putting your music on Apple Music - did not find you guys there at least.
Thanks for the kind words! Pretty sure the algorithm favors channels that upload frequently… which is difficult to do since each of these videos is about 100 hours of work… 🤣 But still working on making more of these when we can.
And yes, thinking about releasing some of these on streaming, hopefully that will happen sooner or later!
BANANA SLAMMA
woooo! thanks for having me! sounds great :-)
absolutely incredible
This is so good
Amazing
I didn't expect to hear one of the best covers of DK island swing in 2021!!
I know this song has been done a million times, but what an awesome arrangement. Well done, lads!
Excellent sax solo!
And trumpet solo!
And piano solo!
And flute solo!
And drum solo! (Is it over?)
this is so damn good i love it. i grew up playing donkey kong country returns, so this brings back tons of memories.
Man, nothing gets my bopping along like a big band swing! Fantastic cover!
Only 2k subs? I'm so ashamed I only found this now after almost a year.
Thanks for bopping! Later is always better than never. :)
Freaking Amazing !
What a beautiful version, very groovy, well done
Wow! Very good!
You guys added in the bit from the Donkey Kong Land mix of the song?? Way cool!!
Yup! Always thought it was cool how the percussion groove was translated into pitched notes in that version (probably due to 8-bit limitations) - and it seemed like a perfect guitar part! :)
francesco fossetti slaps so hard
Man after all these years, can't get that swing out of my head. Thanks fellas, you brought back so many memories.
Y'all need to cover the classroom theme from mario strikers charged, its a great song from a great game that is lacking covers
3:02 reminds me of the horn line from Sunday Morning
Also this is really good.
Ha! Good catch. Totally coincidental though! 😀And thank you!
Absolutely underrated! Deserves way more views and likes! Great skills, perfect balance.
How is it so clean every time 😫 every part of the process is perfect... arranging, playing, recording, mixing, editing. Another gem has been born on UA-cam
This is pure nostalgic gold! Everything came together perfectly and the solos were the chefs kiss!
You guys rock! 🔥👌
Perfekt
Almost perfect! Really really good 😱❤️
Keep making music! I love these!
Thank you! We do have another one coming soon!
Excellently done, fellas. very clean, switchups sound great, original parts are well written, and all the solos fit really well with the theme. still the best version on the tube, and im so happy you guys re-did it with a more controlled recording setup.
This is awesome!! So jazzy.
This is absolutely wicked!
We all know the guy on flute was the star
I say 6 ******
i love how you redid the slow parts of the tune to keep the groovy momentum going
Thanks for noticing that!😉
Excellent job ! You deserve much more views
So happy I found this channel, your guys' arrangements of these classic songs are awesome :)
