Saddest SNES Music: #14 - Game Over - Donkey Kong Country

[Batmaaaan23]

When I was a kid I would try to reset the SNES before hearing this song because it made me feel like I did something wrong lol

[CBroskiesLuLzx]

This used to scare the shit out of me.

[ZelseCarmagh]

I remember my heart being at top speed when I felt threatened by an enemy with my only life. I just couldn't dare to watch this another time.

[majorianmask]

It should be hard to see that screen considering you can get a ton of lives on the first level really quick over and over.

[ArkFromTerranigma]

That feeling of failure.. it's depressing and frustrating.. even though i hardly ever lose my lives until seeing this screen xDD But i remember doing so many times in my childhood..

[brunettevideos]

the definition of FAIL

[limegreensquid]

It's just so jarringly sad compared to the other music.

[2FunnyVersionIV]

When I hear this, I die a little inside.

[Jaguar1472]

when i hard this on my snes i almost cryed :(''''

[hantechbl]

When I was a kid this gave me nightmares.

[Niqoleh]

DKC 3 GAME OVER MUSIC IT'S SOOOOO MOOOOOOOOOORE SAAAAAAAAAD!

[Fatlord27]

this used to scare the shit out of me when i was a kid

[kilonoxzero]

[deathnotefan3000]

@Fatlord27 same here.

[EnTaroAdunExecutor]

Oh god... I remember that image! That's one of the most depressing pictures ever.

[Akfamilyhome]

@EnTaroAdunExecutor ....in gaming history.

[Quartrez]

lol I love this music, it's relaxing.

[Akfamilyhome]

@Quartrez woah god!!! i don't feel like relaxing!

[Quartrez]

@Akfamilyhome Yeah, the music kinda is depressive a bit, but it's kinda relaxing nevertheless.

[LightingChildren]

This makes the player feel sorry to have lost..

[zeldafan237]

I swear the first time I got game over in this game the picture+music made me cry for hours.

[trailboss95]

@zeldafan237 Because it was scary, or because of the sadness?

[mcrXthXfan09]

when i was a really little kid and my parents would play it,after they died when this started i would scream and cry so hard. the picture scared me to death!

[parfaitaiko]

this used to scare me as a kid, i'd hear the music and think dk was ACTUALLY DEAD.

[oliverholder]

This should be the musical score they play to patients when they realise they have Chlamydia.

[97Cambot]

big boobs...no nipples

[Morbutt]

Of course this is a sad song, because in the event of a Game Over, he doesn't get his bananas back.

[TheDrummerDude17]

I still remember playing this as a kid and hearing this...oh man. The loneliness you feel when this song plays...wow.

[Fungorrr]

Omfg why did you beat those sad monkeys!? You're a monster, they are so fucking sad.

[Osamabinjackson]

I actually find this to be a bit uplifting. It's not sinister at all, it's just that you failed and need to come back.

[Galforg]

It just sounds as you've just failed everything, and there's no possibility of redemption.

[shanethefox]

this game over screen actually did make me feel sad when I was a kid lol

[Adeon55]

reminds me of populus 3 music :o

powiah! :D

[silentwaldo]

GAME OVER! also you fail at life so go eat a bagel"

[NickisElite]

@silentwaldo will do =)

[KiroSan1]

I never got a game over, for fear of this song...

[G0NZ0STaR]

@KiroSan1

That sounds like a very good reason! LOL!

[JLMBfreafin]

When I was a kid I used to manage to have at least 1 life remaining because this creaped me the hell out when I was a kid.

[trailboss95]

@JLMBfreafin I think it's supposed to be scary and sad on purpose so you get through the game without seeing it XD

[coveredwitheyes]

this always scared me

[blacksaboth6]

lol. it did it again! lol after 3 months of not hearing this little jingle, lol, it sent chlls down my spine again! lol

[TimeWiseFilms]

lol this song used to creep me out when i was little, its sad and i felt sad for the monkeys :[

[MrBman7272]

[ChimeraKing555]

@MrBman7272

dkc2's was downright happy.

[blacksaboth6]

[Whitehawkup]

[randomuser1231]

[boogyman10o1]

[Happytreefriendsfan3]

you mean donkey kong land 1

that also cool game but i stick to the donkey kong country

[boogyman10o1]

i mean on the game boy advance

[trailboss95]

@Happytreefriendsfan3 They kinda cheated--used music from Donkey Kong Land when making this game for the GBC.

[trailboss95]

@boogyman10o1 On the gameboy advance version, the music is butchered, but it's actually a very funny remake of this one here, not scary.
