The Teddy Bear's Picnic (Banjo Kazooie Style) HD

[YogurtArchangel]

Kirkhope obviously based the OST off this song because let's face it, this is just a typical picnic for Banjo. Beating big ugly witches? Allll the time.

[BizzarreProductions]

:D What a wonderful imitation of Kirkhope's style!

[Reacted1991]

i just found out about this not to long ago it just blows my mind lol

[BrianRingeisen]

Haha, it's fun hearing different versions of this song. I was given this to learn as a solo on the marimba back in middle school. I suddenly remembered it and decided to play it, but I realized that I'd never heard the original!

Thank you for your interpretation. :D

[bRAKENSgNARSH]

Am I the only one who thinks this song sounds slightly eerie?

[Rutgerman95]

This is great! Never thought of showing similaeities this way. Nice job.

[cs905s]

@FromTheGang This is wonderful. Could we use it in a children's learning game?

[FromTheGang]

@cs905s Sure! Go right ahead

[breegull64]

Genius! The sounds are just like in the game (except the saxophone).

[Ruttie2]

People should ask Grant himself!

If you really wanna know, ask 'im!

[Zikau]

Epic win. xD

[BanjoGate]

Can you post a download link?

[littletiger91]

@BanjoGate " can you post a download link?" me: " can i fart on your face banjogate" ?

[BanjoGate]

@littletiger91 What?

[joeslickback]

um sure it wasn't 1932 by henry hall

[FromTheGang]

@joeslickback His orchestra just performed it. It was composed in 1907 by John Walter Bratton and the lyrics were added in 1932 by Jim Kennedy.

[joeslickback]

@FromTheGang ok just wondering cause I didn't know not bad with this video it sounds very close to gruntilda's lair.

[MikeOShay]

This is an awesome rendition. And every time, I expect it to go up to play the Banjo theme.

[JoshMonreaux]

THANK YOU! The first time I noticed the similarities between the two songs, it drove me crazy. I'm so glad SOME ONE ELSE noticed too, and you even made this great remix of it. THANK YOU!

[picholee]

i love that music yeah! XD

[TheDevilbuster]

The beat was a little off at some parts, but other than that, it's pretty good! Gives the Teddy Bear's Picnic a more sinister edge.

[Quietschquatsch]

To be honest, I think Gruntilda´s lair and Cranky´s lab (DK 64) sound similar

[zharazan1]

@Quietschquatsch

The DK's music is similar to Banjo K's music, because were created by the same company.

[Quietschquatsch]

@zharazan1 I know that, but thanks anyway for this information.

[Toadfanatic]

I gotta say though, perhaps the beginning was similar because it started on a C Minor chord. If you look at many of his other songs (Mad Monster Mansion, Klungo's Theme, and Creepy Castle to name a few) they all incorporate the C minor chord in at least one part of the song. The rest of the song kind of incorporates itself as a variation on a melody (if not an entirely new one).

[redwolfhearts]

this makes sence 2 me because the game is about a bear(and a bird)....and the teddy bear's picnic is about bears...so ya, it makes sence 2 me :)

[SpinelessScales]

People seem to not realize that Banjo is a freakin' bear and going through Grunty's Lair can be anything but a Teddy Bear's Picnic :-P

[Nythe]

I see a strong similarity in some parts, but I wouldn't go so far as to say Grant Kirkhope based it off of that song unless he stated it himself.

[Nythe]

Uhh, so why was I downthumbed? Grant Kirkhope SAID the song wasn't based on The Teddy Bear's Picnic.

[Tanjo22]

Unknown to most people, Grant Kirkhope didn't base Grunty's Lair off Teddy Bear's Picnic, it's just a coincidence that they sound similar.

[Kowbrainz]

Yeah, he was asked and denied that this was the inspiration so I don't know why people are giving this thumbs down. Oh well... :/

[surfingthechaos]

It's not a coincidence. Teddy Bear Picnic is as ingrained into the public consciousness as Jingle Bells is. Kirkhope obviously knew what the song sounded like when he was composing it. That doesn't mean he did anything unethical. They are two different songs, but it WAS inspired by Teddy Bear Picnic. That is an undeniable fact.

[sonicfanjacob]

@surfingthechaos i actually emailed him, heres his reply:You know I get asked that a lot.......I think I did have it in my mind but

I really can't remember......sorry!

Cheers,

Grant.

[TheRealGentleman]

I love this song.

Great BK-style rendition!

[emilwestin]

reminds me a little bit of ska. The should make a ska version of this song, jamaica style :D

[imcool021]

lol i loved this game

[Tylerburrito]

Keep making awesome music. I'd personally like to hear more Rare tunes on the accordion. :D

[CidSilverWing]

You mean to say Grant Kirkhope stole the melody?

[RideTheCatfish]

I'm pretty sure 'Teddy Bear Picnic' is public domain by now...

Yet I could be wrong.

[copyrightmybutt]

This totally sounds like some kind of music for a minigame in any of the zelda series.

[pirpintine]

i knew that XD it always bugged me oddly... cos the tune didnt go how it should have :(

nice job!

[Superpapermariofreek]

cant say he didnt try :(

[HoZKiNZPooP]

yeh i knew, hurrah

nicely done

[bjr43]

Interesting, didn't know that.

[siosaji]
