In The Air Tonight (Donkey Kong Country 2 Mix)

[Wolfzz213]

I can feel it, coming in the air tonight.

[MadMetalSlayer1134]

i came buckets when Mining Melancholy hit. gawd dayum

[TheLuigi370]

lovely <3

[CriticuleMe]

wow...awe inspiring.

[simonstrane]

One word: Devastatingly beautiful.

[MadMetalSlayer1134]

@simonstrane wait what?

[kakafrakes]

@simonstrane Good job.

[dugand43]

As soon as Mining Melacholy hit, this went from an 8/10 all the way up

[blackburn932]

This is the secret record they found in the middle of the jungle where Phil Collins recorded this!

[hunterbird24]

that rhino looks likes its coming at me i swear!

[KingxofxRedxLions]

i love it so much! the part with mining melancholy was sweet!

[Sonicboomx]

Love it, but download still doesnt work... could you email it?

[mx31619]

@Sonicboomx I re-uploaded it. Thanks!

[CaliDingoX]

good mix, but the beats are off and arent matched up....it sounds kinda weird.

[stalextana]

AMAZING.

[rican4you]

AND I just realized i commented on this video a year ago haha I have this song on my ipod ever since.

[rican4you]

I love how you added mining melancholy my fav song of the game

[GrizbyK72]

Wow it seems no matter where he is or what he's doing Phil always has this weird relation with simians. (Music from Tarzan, hommages in DK music, "Wot Gorilla?", "coming down like a monkey..." the Cadburry commercial, maybe more.)

Oh yeah, and WHY DON'T MORE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS!?!?!?!

[Evanator1991]

Brilliant.



[JCJPr0ductions]

Mind=Blown @ 3:41

[MrAndroid40k]

like the original it only really gets good towards the end... but it gets really good at the end!

[phantomdog2]

My goodness, I am so glad I wasn't the only one who thought of Phil Collins when playing Bayou Boogie. It's been buggin me for years cause no one I played with would hear it.

[Shyyrn]

The bayou boogie chilled me out, but the drums of Lockjaw's Locker scared me. X(

That being said, amazing work! :D

[DonaTendo]

@Shyyrn lol you're right, I think one possibility mx31619 could have done, is lowered the sound of the drum from that part, and maybe remove it sometime. those are suggestion btw. I like the part of mining melancoly

[thealmightyX]

far out.. when mining melancholy started i was like, oh shit! snap!

[jngrand]

AMAZING!! Great Job!!! I love it!!! If you would've added the Stickerbush Symphony, I think I'd cry (in a good way).

Great remix!! :)

[205KMadden]

This is seriously one of my favorite youtube videos. It's a sad world we live in where Rebecca Black's Friday has more views then this...

[Cmbheadquarters]

Perhaps he's the ape in the kadbury komercial?

[Lukasilvabr]

o Rino da Lacoste

[GangsterJawa]

I stumbled across this while listening to various DKC1-2-3 soundtracks a few days ago, and my initial response was kind of indifferent because I was in the mood for DKC and DKC only. I just listened to the original song so now that I have some background, I can say that this is just completely awesome. Kudos to you, sir.

[gdufano]

I agree with Sotolefish, this is pretty epic

[Sotolefish]

Heck yeah! Love this! It mixes a great song with some dkc2 beats from my top 5! Combining real world music and video game music is an awesome concept!

[Lemonforce]

Damn this Video deserves more Views. Very good remix!

[kinkinkinkinkin]

I watched this high and it changed my life forever.

[legendofdonkeykong]

@Supercharge87. I do not even think they deserve the right to be called "guys", only fakes.

[Inuvash255]

Every time I heard In the Air, it always reminded me of the Bayou...

It kinda made the song better in a way

[StanleySweet14]

FUCKING DOPE MAN!!!

[legendofdonkeykong]

@cbiggs17. Yes same. I would always say that to my friends and they would be like, "shut up, video game music stinks. listen to t-pain and lil wayne". Yeah, okay , i'll dump this to listen to auto-tuned garbage. No thank you

[Supercharge87]

@legendofdonkeykong Never in my life would I dump artistic genius for...those guys.

[Valexz11PM]

None of the 4 songs "mash-uped" is really better than the mix of all them.

Really great mix, excellent.

[cbiggs17]

I FUCKING KNEW I COULDNT OF BEEN THE ONLY ONE WHO REALIZED THATS WHAT THIS SONG SOUNDED LIKE

[EnragedSephiroth]

Good ear! I pick up the BPM and mood on songs this way sometimes but I missed this one. Well-done! :D

[McCauleyFitness]

epic

[dkrebs11]

I prefer this to the original

[ZeldasSavior31]

Two words describe this mashup:

PURE. GENIUS.

Bayou Boogie was created solely to be used to fused with In the Air Tonight.

[SupaKoopaKid64]

Fuckin' EPIC!!!! This puts the original to shame!!

[Coopopteric]

When Lockjaw's came in i couldn't stop smiling.

[LegitSharker]

at 4:00 I had a big dumb grin on my face

[dbest95]

@LegitSharker o hell yea i know what ya mean now!

[Jruss666]

@LegitSharker I had a big dumb grin on my face at 3:14 haha

[samdanae]

This is genius... just genius

[GIANTPANCAKES]

Ho oh Sheeit, just hearing that ambience in the background gives me chills, its like phil got lost in the bayou and sang what he was feeling in the air that night... and now i know

[tepples]

Phil Collins was in Genesis. Yet the music fits perfectly with a game on the Genesis's arch rival.

[Supercharge87]

I've always loved the original "In the Air Tonight," but now it sounds so empty without the elements from DKC2. This is phenomenal.

[Czarewich]

Man, Graeme Norgate would be proud

[ZoraLink98]

Wow! I love this video! Only the song is great...but with these dkc music its the best of the world!

[breegull64]

Sounds like Phil Collins is giving a concert in the swamps.

[rrruizzz]

You deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for this one. So epic.

[bigbadbeast2007]

FUCKING EPIC! WHY dont you go commerical?

[aeromalzi]

They need to play this mix on the radio instead.

[Arc13]

Huh. To anyone who doubts game music quality, DKC2 just made this classic even better.

[spikedwallman]

My favorite part was 0:00 - 5:25

[Hafwaffy]

The only way this vid could be better is if the lyrics showed up on the screen. Amazing job!

[spikedwallman]

I do believe I've just had an eargasm.

[murphy341]

God damn it you beat me to this!! You did an excellent job though mate, I've always heard the similarities of these even as a child and you did it justice. The samples you used .... genius man.. just genius I had to rewrite this comment like 3 times..lol

[CitySkateboards]

HOLY. SHIT. When mining melancholy started, I nearly jumped out of my chair. You, sir, deserve a thousand awards.

[CH3BURASHKA]

Honestly, I didn't imagine this working well. Mining Melancholy is what nailed it. Great job.

[SergeantLuke]

I just about lost it when Mining Melancholy kicked in. Good lord, you're a genius.

[hyperliteboards142]

this is really good!

[neutralcartman2]

Man this was good. Great buildup and it doesn't disappoint in the end.

[RyanBlob]

I bow to whomever the composer of this is.

[NoGoodNamesIeft]

i just shat bricks it was that good

[FRODAM]

Lol

[hadomaru]

best version of this song

[Samail666]

Supreme victory. Perfect.

[METALGEARSOL1D]

Wow! *Blown The Fuck Away*

[dudebfg0123]

Lol, it sounds like Phil is shouting the song at me across a swamp.

Damn it Phil, I have to get home, stop trying to distract me!

[Falcovsleon21]

::whispers:: STAR. WIPE. (Points if you get the reference)

[Connorzorz]

The one guy who disliked this must be Kaptain K. Rool

[JudgeSpear2]

Glad to know I was not the only one to think of "In the Air Tonight" when I first reached a swamp stage in DKC2.

The way this mashup builds up is pure genius, using the Lockjaw percussion, and the best part, the Mining Melancholy part in the climax of the song.

I have put this on my iPod.

[littlelivey12]

THIS IS SOOO GOODDD

[ZiggyIsGrape]

3:43 is when I favorited

[Aerodeth]

Just like the original song, it doesnt get truly epic until the very end. And just like the original song, the epic part just doesnt last long enough.

[blerbman]

Pretty fucking awesome, man.

[robbykills]

YES

[calderon0311]

awesome mix!

[mkextra05]

finally I heard phil collins! i burst out laughing! :D

[bigbadbeast2007]

its not bad at all!

[spaceawesome22]

God bless you, mx31619. God bless you.

[TipsyMcBoozerton]

This is an amazing mash up mix of In the Air Tonight with 3 tracks from DKC2. I remember hearing Bayou Boogie for the first time while playing this game and thought of In the Air Tonight right away.

You done a great job to mash 4 songs in one. It's SO good that I cannot stop listening to it. Well done.

[therinsig]

What the hell is this?

Good effort, but that's about all.

[xxdiabolicalxxsins]

@therinsig what the hell is this, you ask?!?!? a really good song.

who or what the hell were you expectin out of this song? Nicki Minaj? take yourself and your 79 cent raincoat back to that dwell you crawled out from, kid. This is a hater-free page

[Skyntalor]

you, sir, are officially my hero for making this.

brilliant. simply brilliant.

[SaradThamia]

It's eerie how some songs just sound like the were meant to be together. The song 'Staring Through My Rearview' by Tupac and 'In The Air Tonight' are two songs that sounds really good together. Same thing goes for 'Blvd of Broken Dreams' and 'Wonderwall.'

[emptypocketpro]

@mx31619 thank you!!!

[emptypocketpro]

can you please put up a new link?

[jayarcidiacono]

the insects give it a nice ambience. Fuckin' sweet.

[EastmanFilm]

The first time I heard that In the Air Tonight style song in DKC2, I thought I was the only one who noticed it.

[Aerodeth]

Once you listened to In the Air Tonight mixed with tune of Mining Melancholy, you'll wonder how you ever listened without it.

[GodTangrowth]

Damn, nice remix. I always knew they sounded familiar in the beginning, but you really did a fantastic job of keeping the original atmosphere of In the Air Tonight with the other parts of Bayou Boogie.

[jckzz]

Holy shit I think I just shat my pants.

[SalaComMander]

I don't remember the rhino being purple, but...

Anyways, this is pretty nice.

[Pierce7d]

THIS SHIT IS FIRE!

[NikoAnesti]

I was playing DKC2 today on Barrel Bayou and my brother heard it from the other room and said "those high-hats are just like In The Air Tonight!" We tried to get the two to match up, but I figured someone probably already mashed it up and found this. We had a good laugh, but when the Mining Melancholy theme kicked in, our jaws dropped. Gave us chills, man! Thank you for being so awesome and putting this together!

[Meechree]

This is so amazing. Thanks for posting. I love it.

[wolffrankenstein]

Oh wow... haha! That's awesome!

[VikingBoyBilly]

This song used to be so boring until DK2 instrumentation was put into it!

[CiberRobots]

Omg epic!

[mootbooxle]

WOW!! I've always wanted to do this. Thanks for going to the trouble!!!! Using that same CR-78 drum machine pattern was a brilliant move on the DKC2 composers' part. I second what MINSANEvideos said: Everytime I play that level on DKC2 I'm singing this song in my head!

[grandpajenkins1]

holy shit I got the hugest chills throughout my body at the climax

[Kanadwen]

This shit is so clever....great stuff man.

[xxdiabolicalxxsins]

I am totally feeling this.  one of the best mashup track i have ever heard

[dingo11399]

heya check out my version =)

[xxdiabolicalxxsins]

@dingo11399 trolll

-_O

[rican4you]

@mx31619 Thank you!

[rican4you]

Master piece.

[AstroStar7]

You have NO idea how much I thought the same thing.  Every time I heard In the Air, I thought of Bayou Boogie! That is SO funny! *dies* This is effing hilarious that I'm not the only one who thought this, so I'm faving! And I can't EVEN tell they're mixed!

LOOOL!

[Tsukune64]

Wow

This is incredible

[MINSANEvideos]

Finally someone mixed Bayou Boogie and In the Air. Every time I hear Bayou Boogie I expect Phil Collins to start singing. Great job!

[SaradThamia]

@MINSANEvideos I've always said that these two songs start out exactly the same. I'm so glad that someone else heard it too. ;)

[weapontheory]

@MINSANEvideos Holy shit me too!

[Skeith804]

@MINSANEvideos For me it's the opposite. XD Everytime Phil Collins comes on the radio, I think of DKC2.

[Jellyfish500]

I love how you used the lockjaw drums to build up to the drums of the original "in the air", that's amazing. And the use of the mining melancholy really helps make the ending climactic. brilliant

[DuarteGlen]

Great really enjoyed it.

[BlueHeli]

fun mashup of the songs
