The Donkey Kong Country Cartoon first aired in France September, 1996. Daft Punk recorded Around the World this same year, later releasing the single in March, 1997. Around the World is a single from Daft Punk's first album, Homework, which was before they took the persona of being robots. Donkey Kong Country's 36th episode "The Big Switch-A-Roo" aired May 2000, Just a year before Daft Punk released Discovery in February 2001, their first album as robots. Daft Punk are also French. *Donkey Kong Country predicted the future of Daft Punk.*
Interesting how Diddy's Japanese singing voice is good and DK's is shit. I want a version of Metalhead with Dk's English VA and Diddy' Japanese VA singing now
0:39 Is there something you should tell me, big buddy? Are you aware of the glare from the sun shining off of your hair? I don't know what you mean, it's just a healthy sheen I must admit I feel a little strange But I've never felt better, I'm stronger than ever Can't you see nothing's changed? I don't know how to tell you, metal buddy But you look just like a solar-powered turbo-charged washing machine I'm not light on my feet, now I clank and I squeak But my voice is the same when I speak My hand looks like aluminum foil Does this mean that I need a tune-up and a change of oil? I'm a metal head, a metal head, a metal head, a metal head I'm a metal head, a metal head, a metal head, a METAL HEAD!

Urgh, poor Japan. When the cartoon was dubbed for them, DK's fantastic singing was lost in translation. : ( Also, if anyone's curious, if you want to hear a version of this song where Diddy's singing voice is actually decent, listen to the French version!
This mashup goes super perfectly well together, and it’s super fitting since Metalhead sounds a lot like Around The World, and nice how you used both the Japanese and English versions of Metalhead in this!😄🤩😎👌
Man, that’s an amazing singing voice. I can’t get this out of my head. I’m a metal head, a metal head, a metal head, a metal head. I’m a metal head, a metal head, a metal head, a metal head!
idk about this song specifically but someone once wrote a hilarious in-depth anaylsis comparing the Japanese and English versions of one of this show's songs: notquitepurple.wordpress.com/2014/07/22/the-curse-of-the-golden-banana/. If that's any indication, they're kinda similar but pretty different

Diddy has a living body and a voice like a crappy TTS.
Donkey has a metal husk and a *godly voice.*
He trying his best but he sounds like that fat kid from Jimmy neutron
I'm starting to think most of the budget for this show went to whoever did DK's singing voice, it would certainly explain a lot.
I figure since they were creating an animated series with singing segments in it, they should invest in at least _one_ actual trained vocalist :P
the singer is named Sterling Jarvis
And this show practically killed his career, ouch :T
El_Rey_Chipinque seriously? That sucks for him

It was only part motion capture for the first season. The second season, which this song is from, was produced somewhere else.
I can tell you for certain from how stiff these animations are that they are absolutely not mocapped.

Oh agreed. He was literally the best part about that entire series! haha
I am Jemboy Sterling Jarvis is the highlight of the show just hearing him sing is the only reason I watch this show
His voice actor didn't sing. They got an actual singer for that.
@@grugonk They actually have both the VA and singer singing at the same time if you listen closely in some songs.

+Ricky Raymond Lol, thanks man! Im glad you dig it! But ikr, his voice is just actual pure gold. :O
Pretty much the only good thing from the show

Uncle Bird 0w0 also he starts singing in reaction to seeing his friend as a robot
Ivory The Elephant same here
*WHY DOES THIS FIT PERFECTLY?*
Don't know how to call myself coincidence, I think Not!!!! (ಠ□ಠ) lol (ᵔ▾ᵔ)
It's not coincidence, the cartoon was basically parodying Around the World in the first place. Or, rather, it attempted to.
Miss Jade but...
Didn’t this come out on 1997?!
(1996 in france apparently)
It fits perfectly because jemboy here did a great job!
because they are the same song essentially, Techo with a repeating phrase. Instead of "around the world" its Im a metal head
The worst part is that the tempo is the exact same.
Donkey Kong Country Animated Studio was probabl bumpin to Daft Punk when they wrote this song probably. :p
No joke, the lyrics ‘but my voice is the same when I speak’ sounds really deep to me
It probably would be very deep in any other context than this

Japanese was even worse, and that’s saying a lot.
@@corabaker4262 has to be what the original comment meant
As my friend pointed out, the Japanese dub sounds like a singer from Jabba's Palace and an anime girl voicing Donkey and Diddy respectively.

Aww thanks again, Franky! So glad you enjoy it! :)
The combination was so obvious, I was surprised I didnt find a solid mashup of this when I made it.

The Binary translates to the letter k I just thought I would put it out there
just now noticed the toast bopping along to his vocals
Donkey kong has no right to have such a god damn good singing voice.
DK's Japanese voice suite's him way more, although his eng voice has no authority to sing so well
I come back to this video every week. I wish I could say that was a joke. This is honestly one of the greatest things I've ever stumbled on.
The hell? Someone actually made this a mod in smash. Lol
The best thing is that it looks better than the professionally animated and designed television show.
But isn't it just a model replacement of DK?
Still looks better and higher res
Im kinda pissed Nintendo hasnt made it official.
