DK Island Swing / Jungle Theme (from Donkey Kong Country) | Purple Comet Orchestra
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- 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!

Play this at my wedding, funeral, and ascent to heaven
This is criminally underrated!
Goat 🎉
I can just imagine Donkey Kong as like an old fashioned cartoon like Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry.
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 bassist's face is gold
And the slapping was unexpected but DAMN I didn't know how much I needed it
Me and the bois on a field trip to the concert hall, stumbling into the room where they keep the instruments.
The best version no cap
Welcome to bonus stage
my god that flute riff is sublime
I just love that little piano phrase right before the tune gets goin. One of my favorite game songs.
Friend send this to me right after a woke up. Great song to start the day!!
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!
THIS BANGER IS PRECISELY WHY I LOVE DK COUNTRY
Hidden gem.

Never too late! Thanks so much. :)
Here he comes banana slamma
Stupidly underrated, deserve a hell of a lot more views than this
Y'all need to cover the classroom theme from mario strikers charged, its a great song from a great game that is lacking covers
BANANAS!!!

This song is meant to be jazz through and through, and you guys nailed it! Fantastic!
HOLY INCREDIBLE PRODUCTION! well done, well earned sub and like.

Excellent sax solo!

Groovy
I know this song has been done a million times, but what an awesome arrangement. Well done, lads!
Keep making music! I love these!
Thank you! We do have another one coming soon!
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!
We all know the guy on flute was the star
I say 6 ******
Severo, me encanto este remake ASJASJSAKJSAKJSKJSA igualita a la original bro 7u7
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! :)
Almost perfect! Really really good 😱❤️
Yo... this is some amazing stuff!
thx this is perfect :D
Let's jungle ! 🤗
@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!
I didn't expect to hear one of the best covers of DK island swing in 2021!!
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. :)
woooo! thanks for having me! sounds great :-)
WE MAKIN IT OUT OF GANGPLANK GALLEON WITH THIS ONE BOYS
You guys rock! 🔥👌
esto es arte, me encanta
Amazing work my man
Man after all these years, can't get that swing out of my head. Thanks fellas, you brought back so many memories.
This is absolutely wicked!
Absolutely underrated! Deserves way more views and likes! Great skills, perfect balance.
This is pure nostalgic gold! Everything came together perfectly and the solos were the chefs kiss!
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 awesome!! So jazzy.
This is amazing!!!
Faaantastic !
Goosebumps. Such a nostalgic song. Loving it

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
0 dislikes for a reason!
So happy I found this channel, your guys' arrangements of these classic songs are awesome :)
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.
BANANA SLAMMA
Xbox 360 Kinect adventure would sound very nice
Amazing
アレンジがいい！
Wow! Very good!
Parabéns .
Ficou perfeito.
Tudo muito harmonioso
Banana slamma
francesco fossetti slaps so hard
But that bass tho….
makes it feel like a cuphead song
Are you guys on Spotify? If not, any plans?
Not yet! But may consider it. :)
😎😎👌
😮😮😮🙂🙂🙂🎆✨️🎇🎆✨️🎇

😯😯😯🎇✨️🎇✨️
The bass at the beginning is much too silent.
Great arrangement. But come on man, why can't you just give me that classic bassline? Slap felt unnecessary to me...
This shit does not compare to tom winters island swing.
So good
