Donkey Kong Country 2 - Hot Head Hop

[redheadbabygurl23]

to bad u couldnt get the music without that lava sound in there lol

[redheadbabygurl23]

We miss you Super Nintendo

[redheadbabygurl23]

look at need for speed the run are they kidding me

[redheadbabygurl23]

they dont make games with meaning anymore its all about money and how fast they get a game out 

[redheadbabygurl23]

5 dislike wtf have you gone madddddddddddddddd

[tranquelmischief]

Anyone notice Rare's actual last game was Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts aside from the Kinect Sports and xbox live downloads of old updated N64 games

[Krisoyo]

@tranquelmischief Yep, selling rare to Microsoft was the stupidest thing Nintendo ever did....

[redheadbabygurl23]

@Krisoyo i second that notion

[goldpants504]

Long Live David Wise!

[TheBowser04]

I bought a SNES, just to play this game.

[DavidXphinx]

Whoa.....instant Childhood memory flood. God...I miss being a kid.

[OriginFiles]

@DavidXphinx You can only miss being a kid if you succumb to leaving it behind. Twenty years of age and I still got that ape escape swag! Lol, swag is such a dumb word...

[masterofthor]

@OriginFiles Amen Brotha. Amen.

[DavidXphinx]

@OriginFiles I will never let my childhood leave me...In fact I'm going to let my girlfriend play (because suprisingly she hasn't played this before) this and see how Pissed off she gets xD

[3iHard]

instant classic

[lalaxbo]

This music has so much nostalgia from my childhood and i love it so much and you can't compare with nowadays games with games from the good old days because games back in the 90's or at the beginning of 2000 were so fun and great back then :) . I want my childhood back ! I don't like that nowadays kids are playing COD or other pointless games :( .

[IkeSapphire]

I disagree to all of yah. When shit gets real is when you turn the game on and begin to play

[DsKillSmith]

Best game ever. I miss Rare Ware games.

[lukkas1998lol]

legal essa musica :D

[FuckYouPayMe5150]

I disagree...at 1:31... with the harmonica... thats when shit gets real!!

[CANOFSPAM9]

Nah shit really gets real at 1:13.

[noncontradiction]

This was such a fun level. Its amazing that just going off this music alone I could recreate the the whole level, 15 odd years since I last played it.

[dottorcozza88]

Can't stop weeping...

[sammy40027]

screw xbox ps3 nintendo rule's every one should have this game brings back my memories best games i think were only dkc's zelda mario star fox metroid kirby etc.

[sskorpiana]

I love this one.

[04Thedede]

I love this music make me cry =')

[electricmastro]

Favorite part is at 0:44

[JohnnyDeppFan1433]

I wish it was 1995 again! Best days of my life

[rm4517]

@JohnnyDeppFan1433 Me too! Plus I was born in that year and I bet that everyone else misses the 90's too

[nerf233]

@porloaf well im 13 and I love snes games

[SuperDuoBros]

Zac: Adventure game of the decade.

[jwon123]

this map is annoying...

[nikobellikk]

MIENTRAS ESCUCHABA EN MI IMAGINACION ESTABA JUGANDO

[shakemeshakeme]

did Nine Inch Nails do the music for this game or waht

[darisinggamer]

Ah those alligators just wading in lava with a content look on their faces....

Don't ya just love nintendo logic?

[GeneralCane]

@darisinggamer Nintendo logic allows me to shoot turtle shells at my opponent in a go-kart race. Yes. I absolutely fucking adore Nintendo logic. >:]

[MotionXfatigue]

Damn. I'm going to beat this game today.

[jajassa1]

@MotionXfatigue I restarted a game but i cant beat the final fucking boss !! damnit

[GoukiTehPwner]

DKC2 > You

[xMaauroo]

My friend love it. he said; LOOOK LOOOOOK LOOOOOOOOK HOW AMAZING :D

[piggee2013]

I just nostalgiad all over the computer



[MylestheMediaMaster]

I love DKC Returns but now I'm ready for a proper sequel with the old graphics and music.

[masterman1001]

@MylestheMediaMaster that'd be great :D

[UpwardsFallings]

The music sounds so tasty. I imagine chicken soup cooking. Mmmm...

[DarkGreen2000]

@UpwardsFallings

O_O

[ObeseChess]

@UpwardsFallings I used to listen to this song on my walkman (bought the damn cassette from Nintendo Power) while watching my mom cook dinner when I was like... six. xD

[rickzeroX]

this song has a soul... that makes you wish for the old days a the nostalgia....

[TaurusType]

Ain't nothin like slavin over a hot meal while listening to this song, especially chilly.

[diegoaraujoc]

Guys, now serius:

do we really need the heaven after death?

[zuizuixD]

This is perfect isn't it? Nostalgia inducing videogame-music with sounds like hits from a bong.

[joeicatrivante]

Dave Wise is my f***in' idol.

Now that he is an independent composer, I hope Nintendo hires him for the next DKCReturns.

[ImmortalAcorn]

@joeicatrivante I can't believe Nintendo came out with DKCR... They're killing all the titles they've worked so hard on. DKCR was not a DKC game, no matter how hard they try and force it, it just doesn't have the feel and never will. DKC1-3 were golden.

[joeicatrivante]

@ImmortalAcorn Oh, come on. Don't be grumpy.

Okay, the game isn't DK COUNTRY good, but it's pretty good.

I think it was a nice reboot. Like, if Rare isn't coming back to what it was, Nintendo has to find a way to start again...

[JonnyJinx04]

@joeicatrivante The game was DK COUNTRY good, no matter what these nostalgic morons try to say.

[joeicatrivante]

@JonnyJinx04 I won't say it's DK COUNTRY good because it lacks more Animal Buddies.

But it's a nice game indeed.

Anyway, it's nice to see open-minded gamers sometimes. The problem with nostalgia is when it turns into hate against everything that is new...

[BrolySuperSaiyen]

@joeicatrivante Yeah, it lacks Animal Buddies =( It dissapointed me, but the game was nice!!! It wasn't as hard as the SNES games, but that's maybe because I'm older now xD Anyway.

DKCR was very nice. It would be better with more Animal Buddies. I also missed the old enemy's, but I know it is imposible to get them back. But again, nice game.

[IdentNone]

@JonnyJinx04 HURR U NO LIEK CUZ U NOSTALGIC. Newfag logic.

[JonnyJinx04]

@IdentNone That's nice.

[PorLoaf]

Am I the only 14 year old that loves old nostalgic games

[monstercombo007]

@PorLoaf im also one =)

[PorLoaf]

@monstercombo007 Thank God

[WhippetGoode]

Dear current developers, I don't want to play a fucking movie, all I want is to move a cute little monkey from one end of the screen to the next.

[AnaJackson123]

SPIDER

[DarkBladeSeth]

This level was surprisingly easy, and surprisingly fun

Very few new-generation games can even compare to DK2...

[KOEI24444]

@DarkBladeSeth thats why the snes was the best console ever

[DarkBladeSeth]

@KOEI24444 Yeah

I <3 the DK serie, and 2 was the best IMHO

[KOEI24444]

@DarkBladeSeth same

[Ajapam34]

@DarkBladeSeth Very few games in general can compare to DKC2. New generation or old

[Aure217]

4 crocs remember having their heads being hopped on.

[pegazusmen]

przepiekna muzyka

[bazla123]

SNES and N64 BEST CONSOLES.

BACK WHEN RARE MADE GREAT GAMES.

[MrPivotjuggalo]

The music fits so well with the klaptraps biting.

[torchicguy]

I hate how on most DKC2 ost videos, the highest rated comments are hating on new games. -_- New games are good too ya know. And not all young gamers yell at each other online, that's only Call of Duty.

[NorieagaHDR]

C-L-A-S-S-I-C gaming. I love it! I might not like the new Nintendo, but they owned the 90's and early 00's.

[EnragedSephiroth]

Dave Wise, I love youuuu! 4 people couldn't clear Hot Head Hop.

[avprox777]

BONGRIPS EVERYWHERE!

[pegazusmen]

KOCHAM TA MELODIE!

[berny88925]

4 people couldn't get past the zingers and sank

[berny88925]

Man just listen to these pro drummers and musicians. Good old days of quality in not only gaming but music

This makes me proud of being a 89er

[alfok]

My favorite of the entyre OST

[MotionXfatigue]

This is my favorite game!

[JohnTheYetiBeast]

So can somebody PM me with some sheet music to this song?

[Animelover1859]

00:18 is when shit gets serious.

[TaurusType]

@Animelover1859 LOL, I totally know what you mean.

But actually though, versus some of the other tracks, this one strikes me as being more serious and emotional (if that's even possible for a Donkey Kong track).

[Animelover1859]

@TaurusType Anything's possible with Nintendo.

[IIRemy]

@Animelover1859 Your comment made me laugh intensely hard.

[FeiLong2310]

@Animelover1859 lol XD

[alina92101]

@Animelover1859 LMFAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooO

[DeathbeastGregar]

Can you imagine playing this level during the summer?

[DidoInFlames]

this song is my favoryte i love this game

[aldore1231]

why cant it sound like this when my mother cooks soup?! :(

[ebiry]

Donkey Kong Counrty Returns 2 Diddy's Epic Kong Quest

[halo3forlyfe]

a friend just sent me a picture of a guy fucking a gutted corpse and you can see their ribcage and his dick coming out into the stomach, i hate this fucking world, i wish i could go back to being a little kid and with my brother playing 2 player, ignorance is bliss.

[CaptianNaziKiller]

Bomb Ass Jam....

[rasdhiulio]

MACHUCA OUVINDO ISSO!

MINHA INFÂNCIA, FOI UM DOS JOGOS MAIS JOGADOS AQUI NO BRASIL E UM DOS MELHORES INVENTADOS.

DCK 2 >>> GOD OF WAR

DIRETO DO BRASIL!

MUITO BOM O SOM!

[Sacredfire059]

I hate how DKC2 has tracks like this and people only orgasm over Bramble Blast. It's a good song for sure, but there are so many other gems in there, like Hot Head Bop, Snakey Chantey and K. Rool's theme!

[IstillOwnAvcr]

@Sacredfire059 Agreed. I never could understand why only that song gets the exposure. The entire soundtrack is great. It's understood, though... Stickerbush Symphony is great. I've heard it so many times though... lol, like to change it up.

[DarkValkyrian]

@Sacredfire059 Well, maybe it is because Stickerbrush Symphony has that sad vibe, and so it adds to the nostalgia. But i also like Hot Head Hop, Web Woods, Arctic Abyss and Mining Melancholy. This game has so many gems it's ridiculous

[breegull64]

@Sacredfire059 and mining melancholy and especially forest interlude :D

[TimpBizkit]

Sounds like the bass is out of tune

[doomslayer133]

Epic Music

[doomslayer133]

My favorite systems are nes,snes,sega genesis,N64,PS2 and PS3

[Abutabense]

3 people drowned in lava...

[skater819]

@Abutabense those kinds of comments are not funny or original anymore please stop

[Moley87]

@Abutabense And had the awesome bubbling to death sound effect that came with it.

[phily4life]

i wonder if this music was playing when that volcano in iceland erupted earlier this year! :P

[RayGarraty1985]

reniisgod is right.

1:11 to 1:46... *sniff*

nuff said.

[skritzo]

this is one of the most overall perfect games of all time. SNES truly had it all.

[NickAura]

I wish this were remixed in DKC Returns.. ah well..

[Frezsparce]

The first part reminds me so much of something from Earthbound o.0

[celaya4ever]

This soundtracks makes me think that volcanos aren't such a bad or uncomfortable places after all.

[Agent1W]

@celaya4ever Until you have to face some demonically possessed falchion.

[songotenz02]

Man I swear RARE made the best soundtracks.

[jkss3493]

@songotenz02 its not rare its david wise and he only did the sound track for 4 rare games dkc1-3 and star fox adventures.

[jakelcab]

man, that balloon level was such a pain in the ass.

[DarkValkyrian]

I remember a little conversation i had with my father 12 or 13 years ago. He kept saying how music, childhood, etc were better back in his days. If i recall correctly, i ended the argument with "i can't keep arguing with someone who has such an old fashioned line of thought.". 13 years later i find thinking to myself "This wise old man was right after all"

[bendario]

0:44 - 1:00 My favorite part

1:11 - 1:46 The best part

What a great song.

[SOUTHWESTENZ]

@bendario actually my fave is b4 44 seconds

[Morden101]

These classics arn't necessarily better than modern game themes, Shadow of the Colossus anyone? But they are certainly more original and great achievements considering the limitations of the hardware

[SOUTHWESTENZ]

@Morden101 the limitations make these games better, i cant explain how, other media seems to use the same principals

[Ajapam34]

@Morden101 Shadow of the Colossus had fantastic music. It was an overall great game, too. Some people are just too busy thinking about "the old days" to find good things later in life.

[SOUTHWESTENZ]

omg i played this on my computer connected to my hdtv with surround sound, its soo immersing, much better than any next-gen bs

[NoelLozano]

reminds me of the balloon

[Flash11I19]

Fuck! Why didn´t they bring back David Wise as the composer for Donkey Kong Country Return!?

[brunstad]

@Flash11I19 Well, you shouldnt underestimate Retro Studios. David Wise is a genious, but Retro Studios' work with the Metroid Prime 1,2 and 3 soundtracks was breathtaking.

[jojean789]

@brunstad Actually, MP's soundtrack was made in Japan

[brunstad]

@jojean789 I didn't say anything about WHERE the soundtrack was composed. They still used Kenji Yamamoto for both the Donkey Kong Country Returns and the Metroid Prime soundtrack.

[jojean789]

@brunstad yea but it's still not Retro studios' work

[brunstad]

@jojean789 Haha, well technically you are right, since he's working for nintendo generally, but it was just my way of putting it, seeing that retro uses him in every game they have made, but thinking of it again I may have undercredited him calling it Retro's work...

[TheKronick900]

Michael Jackson: Can't Let Her Get Away Perfect Version Coincident

[Ambrew11]

mmm dkc2, this is the best of the series imo probably because i have some sort of queer fetish with pirates. im unsure of the name of the track but i love the music on the levels with the thorny vines its very soothing.

[sncharters]

@Ambrew11

Stickerbrush Symphony

[DiminishedTB]

In assimilation to next gen

you can win over the old school

Nothing Can

This is atmosphere, and fun

Games now

are a competition made to fuck your friends up

[Overdosage]

@DiminishedTB Not that this isn't fun because it is...

But nothing and I mean NOTHING beats NES and SNES memories...

nothing ever will

[DominantdanyRS]

@DiminishedTB You're so right. I miss the days when people played games to have fun and enjoy themselves. Now it's all about getting angry and trying to beat out the competition as if your life depended on it. In some ways, fuck multiplayer games. If people could just learn to enjoy games as people used to, everything would be for the better. Screw this Game Battles bullshit.

[TR00PER1994]

ya i cant stand when people say "wow this game has bad griphics and must suck" makes no sence.

[GreatNegus]

I swear, I've heard the tune at 1:27 before.........

[ledzeppelin27]

@GreatNegus hmm me too, i think its in donkey kong country 2 xP

[Xaera]

@GreatNegus me 2 because i either died or finished a level / found a bonus stage :)

ps: move, move fucking faster goddamn balloon, MOOOOVE!

[jguinter629]

i used to just sit in the level and listen to the music, i still play these games today, the classics are the best

[TranceNigel]

Essa e Bramble Scramble são minhas mûsicas favoritas desse jogo nota 10!!!

[helloseattleay]

HATED THIS LEVEL! Even hearing the music scares me, lol. It was hard!

[uzi4u182]

@helloseattleay This level becomes easy when you've been playing it for 15 years :-)

[zeekyblahIV]

@helloseattleay Hot head hop? that level isn't that hard. Maybe you were thinking of Red Hot Ride, which was a bit harder.

[helloseattleay]

@zeekyblahIV well i the time i was very young so it was hard then i guess haha

[IMHEREAGAINSTMYWILL]

i could never beat this level when i was little. i always thought it was hard to jump on the crockie's heads

[lvsoad22]

all 3 donkey kong countrys+donkey kong 64 = fun for a lifetime

[TatzuCabaret]

i love this music, and the lava stage looks great riding the spider!!!! hehe xD

[IMHEREAGAINSTMYWILL]

i could never beat this level

[eerieinhabitants]

man.. I can never find myself able to express in words how much this games means to me.. it was such a chapter of my childhood!

[donnythedingo]

Not only fun to play, but also an awesome game to listen to!

[CommanderSavage]

It sounds almost like a hiop hop song!

[Dinosaurdiary]

I'd take this soundtrack over Chrono Trigger's anyday.

[Writtenjustice]

@Dinosaurdiary lol, hell no.

[Chamillionare64]

@Writtenjustice

Chrono Trigger had some great jams like the Black Omen theme and the Wind Scene, but all of the Donkey Kong Country's themes have a real feel to them.

Literally just add lyrics, and you have a masterpiece.

[Writtenjustice]

@Chamillionare64 I was a little hasty in my last comment, I gotta say

I agree that Donkey Kong's music has a real feel to it, but I also feel the same about CT.

I also think very bad things will happen if lyrics are added to either XD

[Chamillionare64]

@Writtenjustice

Yeah, I didn't mean lyrics. I meant thoughts, hahaha.

[Writtenjustice]

@Chamillionare64 That I can agree with, lol

[JonnyJinx04]

@Dinosaurdiary CT's is still great though.

[SandBarAndYou]

@Dinosaurdiary Whoa, it's good but it ain't THAT good.

[xXViewtifulJoeXx]

i was only 3 when i started playing this game im 13 now tis game is epic i used to have a snes for it but it broke so i downloaded the emulator its fun but im really stuck on toxic tower

[bazla123]

i love how you can hear lava bubbling,

its feels like your playing the levle, even when your just listening to the tune.

[Amputechted]

Amazing game and soundtrack.

[sajohnson09]

Man some of these games from the 90's have unbelievable soundtrack's that were ahead of their time its amazing how the lower quality games made the highest quality soundtracks I used to love playing platforming games as a kid now they've all become too watered down the only one still going strong is Mario but hopefully sonic gets back in top shape too

[eerieinhabitants]

the 90's.. beyond belief

[Megadeth72]

This is one of best game ever made, so is the soundtrack

[ShortestFuse]

sounds similar to Organ Donor by DJ Shadow that opening riff!

[thegreatman99]

good times..

[EkaterinaTheWise]

one of my favs.....

[Leefonzell]

the beginning of this song reminds me of "fly like an eagle" from the steve miller band =)

[BoltonandMugen]

Anyone know what that instrument (or synth lol) is on from 1:31-1:35? Class song.

[vNistel9]

world class!

[SinPower25]

Cuanto Ritmo tiene : D

[wessopordeus]

this song is very beautiful, reminds me of my youth

[nenobean]

fuck! ilove the snare on this song i swear. i'm 21 and ever since i was a little boy i always played that little tune in my head...even today. it's games and music like this that reminds me that my youth can never be taken away =]
