Donkey Kong Country 2 OST - Mining Melancholy ~ Mine Theme

[bast963]

developer1: "hay guise, lets maek the monkeys fly thru bees"

developer2: "good idea d00d, they shuld liek flai up of da wood plats and slam into bees AGIN AND AGAIN ADN AGAIN"

Good god. Just when I think nothing can be worse than descending a parrot, the final mining level goes and proves me wrong again. As expected from Rare.

[Svesve777]

If time did stop in 1993 the whole world would be perfect for two main reasons, SNES would have remained as the most advanced console ever and Justin Bieber would have never been born.

[LaVivaGan]

@Svesve777 ENOUGH JUSTIN BIEBER JOKES ITS 2012.

[lepetitsocialiste]

LUV SNES!! i dont know know how to express myself....

[MrMarocmo]

Haha best Game. I remember the Time. :D

The Games at SNES Time, was the best Games.

[houseofcards613]

I remember when I could beat the first few levels of this game with my eyes closed... those were the days!

[winterrose2008]

After over a decade of not playing this game, I decided to play it last weekend. Came to this level and the music reminded me of how much I LOVE this game. Not only is the game fun, but the music is spectacular.

[marcelogtacs]

1:25 - When I listen this part, I'm certain that some games will never be forgotten

[rawdog10157]

2 people not jump on mine.

[WheresMahBacon]

Those reeds look like hot dogs... woah

[escorpionvence]

best game in the wold for me :D

[GameModJr]

back in my day, games weren't all about graphics and good games had good music. we also had 9 planets

[RationalGamerz]

@GameModJr Lies the bitwars graphics were all the rage....

[ysilent]

man, this song really touches my heart.

My brother and I sometimes sing DKC2 songs together and we have lots of fun.

Video games like this will never be forgotten!

[thedragonb0y]

Listen to this, then listen to Kraftwerk - Metal on Metal.

Inspirational homage? ;]

[TheCaptinhazmat]

@Luzagal 1/10. thats the best i can do.

[TheCaptinhazmat]

@Luzagal yeeaaah 0/10 thats the best i can do still. You could have at least linked something from DN3D for a sountrack comparison. Try again kid.

[Luzagal]

@TheCaptinhazmat lol I even linked in my post. Are you retarded?

[TheCaptinhazmat]

@Luzagal 2/10 kid. I said you could have linked something from DN3D at least. Other words i said your choice sucked dick.

[Luzagal]

@TheCaptinhazmat I did link a video.... retarded much?

[Kittee23]

@Luzagal "omgz my video game music is better than yours" lol then go listen to that crap instead!

[Idolores]

@Luzagal 0/10 shitty troll, try harder bitch nigger, I'm not even mad

[Nirofues]

I was CRANKY til I heard this FUNKY tune. It's ear CANDY. did that make your eyebrows WRINKLY?

[neverfakethefunk]

@Nirofues It is a great little DIDDY for the KIDDIES.

[cacti225]

My favorite song! i used to just sit on this level and enjoy the tune

[EFOO100]

aww how  i miss the 90,s

[AmatoOrite]

I remember just how much my mom and me were loving this song, years ago. <3

[julex234]

0:52 - 1:04 DA!!! aaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww SNAP! da... dada da da. Da DA! aaaaaaaaawwwwwwwww SNAP!

[GustavStarMan]

Games these days don't beat the original quality of old ones. You know what I mean.

[proadam09]

1. mining melancholy

2. lockjaw's saga

legendary pieces.

[tiniracoon]

i was so happy when i could listen this music again in Windy Well ;)

[ianmfreda]

15 years later and I still find myself humming this song in my head. <3

[Vianerd1]

A lot of people wonder why I adore these games and their soundtracks so much... well, mostly because it tells a story. Now I know a lot of games tell stories, but little do manage to convey that story just through the soundtrack and without spoken words.

This track is just so marvelous that it makes me cry because of its sheer brilliance...

[toodaa2010]

this songs so cool

[jdcsilverful]

1:25 zingers crying the sad tale of a game that once was 1:43

[shepdog213]

@jdcsilverful are you high?

[LordFrood]

Playing Minecraft, listening to this. Nostalgia fest!

[Greeno666]

Video Game soundtracks today may be atmospheric. may be better quality. but they will never be as memorable as the 8 bit, 16 bit, and 64 bit era. DKC2 soundtrack firmly locked in my head until I die

[Quietschquatsch]

when I played the game for the first time, from 0:35 on, my life has changed FOREVER!

[Koops520]

This song is so relaxing :)

[RaveXanaike]

I can totally feel the melancholy in some parts.

Just the sadness of the kremling miners, being in the underground of the world, in such dangerous working conditions under flickering lantern-lit light, yet through the claustrophobic walls of the wood-supported mine the hope they will live another day and escape to the surface once more.

[compsciguy]

@RaveXanaike

You're thinking too deep. Kaptian K Rool has to be defeated for you to save them.

[azurescens420]

@RaveXanaike

Corny nigger

[Tunkman77]

thumbs up if u listen to this while playing minecraft :P

[birdielambert]

it took me the longest time to realize that some of those sounds are samples of the minecart levels from dkc lol

[jpexsalin]

Simply a Master Piece!!!, thank you David Wise!

[Hailstormful]

Someone thought that thumbs DOWN was for DOWNload... **facepalm**

[ChickenWing575]

Back in the day. When games had to supplement graphics with excellent music tracks and addictive game play. <3

[TetsuyaBrazil]

@ChickenWing575 Of course DKC graphics were just as epic;

[DinerSals]

@ChickenWing575:

Just like today's games.

Get over your nostalgia.

[Greeneagle86]

@DinerSals Oh shut the hell up! Chickenwing575 makes a great valid point. Todays games pretty much suck these days. I totally agree with chickenwing. Donkey Kong Country games were the best as well as lots of other classic games. How could you say such an ignorant statement like that? Fuck wrong with you boy! "Get over your nostalgia!?" Are you fucking kidding me? Very disrespectful to say some shit like that.

[DinerSals]

@Greeneagle86:

LOL at the angry nostalgia fag.

Get the fuck over yourself, there are better games than DKC2, and you haven't shown me otherwise.

[Greeneagle86]

@DinerSals Well I dont like what you said and I have to speak out against it. It must be said and you were being disrespectful. You are a fucking asshole and you should get RKO'ed for that. Hey I'm just speakin the truth, the whole truth, and nothin but the truth! And that's WHAT'S UP!

[DinerSals]

@Greeneagle86:

LOL I'm being trolled by a retarded WWE fan that thinks if you don't suck nostalgia you can use WWE quotes.

Pathetic.

[Greeneagle86]

@DinerSals No you're the one thats retarded for bashing us nostalgic fans and you do need to get RKO'ed for that and thats the truth right there.

[DinerSals]

@Greeneagle86:

Quit embarrassing yourself, morons like you are why I stopped watching WWE.

[Greeneagle86]

@DinerSals Fuck you asshole! And I have 2 words 4 ya, SUCK IT!

[DinerSals]

@Greeneagle86:

*yawn*

I think around the Attitude Era,

trolls tried.

[compsciguy]

@Greeneagle86

suck what? I'm 12.

[Greeneagle86]

@compsciguy Ok I wasnt talking to you so why are you involved in this? You absolutely don't have anything to do with this. Besdies you're a bit too young to know about that.

[TangerineGroovin]

@DinerSals

Your mom felt good.

[DinerSals]

@TangerineGroovin:

I find it amazing that it took you well over a month to write such a crap insult.

BTW, my mom's dead. Then again, dead people are the only thing that you can touch, eh?

[TangerineGroovin]

@DinerSals

You hated first

[DinerSals]

@TangerineGroovin:

At least I can hate better.

[onecrazyninjamonkey]

@DinerSals Greeneagle is an idiot. I love DKC but todays games are okay. DKC is just a little better. Thats it translated what he was trying to say, not the stupid ass way of him saying it.

[Te4RHyP3]

@ChickenWing575 lol i'm not trying disagree with you or anything, but weren't the DKC games considered sort of groundbreaking for their graphics on a snes ?

[ChickenWing575]

@Te4RHyP3 Yeah, that's why i said supplement. Implying that the game had good graphics, as well as an excellent music score and addicting gameplay. Games now tend to have one of the elements on the list, but fail in other departments.

[Te4RHyP3]

@ChickenWing575 oh snap i must've switched supplement for substitute. i should learn better onglish.

can you name a couple games that came out in the past couple years that have a really good soundtrack ?

[feh2]

@ChickenWing575

Faggot.

[thedragonb0y]

@ChickenWing575 When all were the main focus and non took a backseat to marketing and presentation as they do these days.

Back then, games received game of the year for being GOOD GAMES, these days most games receive game of the year for just looking good (E.G. Bioshock, which is hardly even a game rather than just "interactive exploration duck hunting").

[RationalGamerz]

@ChickenWing575 This game had amazing graphics for the time

[ChickenWing575]

@RationalGamerz yeah i know, thats exactly what i said in my comment.

[CrimsonMarble]

@ChickenWing575

Back then DKC 2 had impressive graphics. It didn't supplement anything it was just all around awesome. :)

[oscarbaldwinstudio]

@ChickenWing575 Donkey Kong Country had amazing graphics. What are you talking about?

[ChickenWing575]

@oscarbaldwinstudio i've already explained this a few times, i used the word supplement, look it up, it means to accompany. I was implying that the game had all the elements of a great game unlike these days where it seems some games get by by only having one of the three. I suppose this is what i get for posting insightful comments on youtube though.

[oscarbaldwinstudio]

@ChickenWing575 No. That's what you get for being a pompous ass on youtube.

[ChickenWing575]

@oscarbaldwinstudio Don't insult me because you ethier

a. Didn't read my comment fully before posting a response

b. Didn't know what the word supplement means

[oscarbaldwinstudio]

@ChickenWing575 or maybe it was c. calling your own YouTube comments insightful.

[ChickenWing575]

@oscarbaldwinstudio When you put some thought into a comment about something from your childhood that then gets a lot of recognition because most people perceive it as correct, you honestly would make the same leap that your comment is/was/is perceived as insightful.

[Fiddlewheel]

make me think of crystals...

[KirbyofDarkness]

Man, I always loved the Donkey Kong Country games. The music certainly added to there greatness. I'm also very glad I ended up growing up with the NES and SNES even though I was in a later generation. (thank you awesome family members)

[jribaudo7]

the one guy who disliked it slipped and pressed the wrong button probably :)

[kunrao0]

1:25wooooooooooooooo1:43

[SSENWERD42]

Had to have inspired Deltron's song Mastermind. Youtube it!

[Damnedfaith]

The one dude was I!

I jizzliked!

[ZoraLink98]

This guy, that disliked this song didn't hear anything of DKC 1-3, the Legend of Zelda or Super Mario World... epicfull games, last time, now and in future... wanna say: FOREVER!

[MsBigB777]

Love this song. Man. the 90s made great, epic music!=)

[DaaYay]

My kid brother (8) skipped all the good games like DKC, Super Mario, SNES games, Even some of the classic N64 games even though I have them all and tell him to play so He can grow on what I grew up on and take baby steps. He sucks at all of them. He can't get past the first castle in Super Mario world, Can't get past the second region in all three DKC games without me doing it for him, but he sure can Kick everyones ass in Black Ops and Halo? What's this world come to? I'm devastated :'(.

[mauriciomagno]

@DaaYay you're right my friend, games wass so much fun from adventures and no violence, i really misss you that kind of games, so nice and very fun played jejeje just remember those dk 2 i cry jejeje n.n

greetings from mexico

[tristesse101]

@DaaYay spot on

[SSENWERD42]

@DaaYay Hey man those games were a lot harder when we were kids. But we at least toughed out the hard parts until we beat them. Kids these days don't have the patience for games like this. Sad but true. "Lives" are a thing of the past.

[DaaYay]

@SSENWERD42 It wasn't hard for me or my younger brother back then, I'm slightly older than him and he beat it on his own and we were about 7-9 when we played this. Piece of cake, but yeah I find my brother (8) just gives up and pops in the next game. FWI, I'm 24 now.

[GaraOFtheeFUNK]

@rootbeer543 -I'm only 15 and I play it all the time. Nice to see other young people playing DKC SNES!

[Djinnfinity]

Definitely one of my favourites out of all the DKC music. And for that reason, I also tried my hand at a little remix of it (/o\) that I've posted as a video response. Anyway, thanks for posting this.

[AgentDC76]

How suitably industrial for a mine. :-p

Love it.

[rootbeer543]

I love Stickerbrush Symphony, but that songs just too over rated to me. There are plenty of better songs in the game, like this one for example.

[TheHitman5152]

How the hell can someone dislike this??? This is greatness. Takes me back to my childhood!

[TheHitman5152]

This is amazing!



[torchicguy]

Eargasm: That is all.

[AnaAlex]

fave stage <3

[somania64]

amazing

[Ceriusplot]

2nd World Stage, no ?

[rovert40]

@Ceriusplot Yes indeedy.

[sailsush3]

100% EPIC

[iamzafkiel]

The mumblings part (1:24) gave me chills, SO MUCH WIN

[RapturianCitizen]

why did Candy Soup get so many thumbs up...

[CandySoup]

@RapturianCitizen Because I'm cool, ujelly?

[LightOtaku88]

this will make an awesome trance song. i had better get to work. :D

[marsfireignite03]

@LightOtaku88

Dude, hit me up when you're done! :)

[ThexBeatlesxArexLove]

So much nostalgia. I love this game so much. I love SNES, best system ever. DK has an amazing OST. :) So many memories.. my goodness.. makes me want to cry.

[iamLI3]

this is pretty cool , where'd you find an audio quality version like this of the song?....

[kartclm]

for me 1.25 - 1.44

[ClayGunslinger]

This is the first song I will listen to while I go spelunking :)

[nintendo1889x]

Definitely the most difficult of the three, but it has the coolest soundtrack.

[najimi93]

best game

[SonicRaveRage]

1 person no have childhood

[igf4]

cancion culia wena

[Bisonete]

Just a small tip for you guys with the Original Soundtrack, this song is actually on the CD, under the name of "Kannon's Klaim". Cheers :)

[RodrigoSoletti]

Beautiful



[TheTweeker79]

I used to hook my t.v.'s audio outs to a sound system and then i would just fire up this game for its music back in '95!!

[estlib]

this song sounds like the heavy machinery of the past combined with the sleek, smooth and white design of the future

[Nintendosaiyan3]

@estlib I certainly hope this is gonna be the music of the future

[EMiLLZzZz]

THIS IS THE BEST SONG I BELIEVE THIS BEAT IS WHAT INSPIRED ME TO COMPOSE NOW THIS IS PURE BRILLIANCE!!!$!%!%!

[panchomangakan]

un juego que jamas olvidaremos

[SloganYams]

Why, why, WHY isn't this on the soundtrack CD?! One of the great video game mysteries...

[bluekoopabro]

The absolute worst part about this song is at 3:34

[spikedwallman]

HEY! There does indeed seem to be an issue here with the title. Mining Melancholy wasn't on the OST (which made me really sad) >.>

[Charmolution]

This always makes me think of the Kremling slaves working in the mines, banging on the walls with their instruments to create music and pass the time, (And of course, the Zinger's get their solo at the end).

[aftershock16509]

0 kremlings watched this video.

[89Jesther]

After playing the level of this I would walk around singing "Ding Da Ding Ding" I love this Rhythm

[KazberryKrunch]

I remember that when I was much younger, and my friend and I played this game all the time (not that we don't still), we thought that the choir at 1:25 was the zingers singing.

[EMiLLZzZz]

@KazberryKrunch Me TOO! MAN

[554Key]

Halo 3: ODST Original Soundtrack - [Mombasa Streets] Deference for Darkness play this song with that video but on that video skip to 3:15, listen.

[Da1Enigma]

THis ish goes so hard...this was my fave game in the series...I downloaded this to my Droid X...a little hard to control but cant complain...its DK...

[G0vnah]

I want Powerglove to get ahold of these songs! ALL OF THEM!!!

[Henryfabulous]

lol i am 25 years old, i work really hard in an international bank and i listen to dkc 2 tracks on my breaks..... one of my all time favourite games

random side note: this is the first video i saw, which has current 25.906 views and 0 dont likes (but i probably just ruined it with that message)

[DullBones]

Levels this played on:

Kannon's Klaim

Squawks's Shaft

Windy Well

[Ephraim225]

I love how this song has the Steel Keg sound effect from the last game :D

[Slagomancer]

@Ephraim225 I didn't clue into that being the Keg noise until I read this comment. Awesome touch! RARE truly were masters.

[dogshrapnel]

@Ephraim225 it could also be the mine cart jumping and landing on the rails :D

[CandySoup]

0 people like Justin Bieber... wait what?

[SeventhHanyou]

@CandySoup LOL.

[selvut998]

@CandySoup Exactly.

[ericmcfadden]

@CandySoup justin bieber came and disliked, just to spite your comment. D:

[whitesprite]

@CandySoup Yes, it's a good track. No, don't be a meme-promoting faggot.

[sanagukeke]

@whitesprite Y U NO LIEK MEME

[Sokobansolver]

@CandySoup Wait what indeed.

[leon2457]

@CandySoup apparently we have a traitor

strange how Video Game music can be so much more appealing than regular music <3

[TheKronick900]

Michael Jackson  They Don't Care About Us is Theme Original

[andrevus2]

my most favorite after Stickerbush Symphony

[viniciusmoraes1001]

Great music! I'm love it . Thanks.

[QCDeViLMaN666QC]

one of my favorite music !!!!

i loved it so much how the background changed like silver crystals and other time GOLD Crystal ahhh good old time so nostalgic ♥

[darthninja]

Damn this kicks ass, I remember getting this for christmas when it came out, best christmas ever!

[Renma2010]

@darthninja Same here

[Renma2010]

I loved this game, but my god was it hard. It was also the hardest out of the three DKC's.

[trustjab]

awesome steel drum track 1 of the best DKC2 tracks

[Jimbobob5536]

This song alone makes the mine levels my favorites.

[PatriotsoftheGuns]

I beat this game when I was 6, I watch my 13 year old younger brother now fail miserably at it... I'm ashamed...

[SirGecko01]

@PatriotsoftheGuns LOL!

[avenueq14]

@PatriotsoftheGuns 6? really? shit, the last time i played it i was 10, i just played it again and beat it today (102%) as a 16 year old. youre just really good at DKC haha

[PatriotsoftheGuns]

@avenueq14 well I never ended up getting 100% in the game until recently, gamefaqs wasn't around, y'know?

And naw, I wasn't bad, but I certainly wasn't really good

[rootbeer543]

@PatriotsoftheGuns I'm 14 and i'm actually very good at this game and the rest of the DKC series. It is true though that most of this gen isn't very good at games, my theory is that its because developers lack in making the games challenging and focus too much on graphics. DKC not only had beautiful stunning grpahics, it also had great music, gameplay, and it was very challenging. Am I right?

[AldwynMcCloud]

[Flash11I19]

Call me crazy, but for what ever reason 1:25 - 1:45 reminded me of the final battle scene between Luke and Darth Vader in Star Wars episode VI, just before Luke cut off Vader´s arm. Who thought the same?
