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

(Reuploaded in High Quality)

Unknown to most people, Grunty the Witch's theme song is based off of an old 1907 tune called "The Teddy Bear's Picnic".

What I've done here is simply perform the original "The Teddy Bear's Picnic" song in the style that Grant Kirkhope performed the witch's theme for the Banjo-Kazooie games.
Recorded on a Yamaha PSR-292 Keyboard.

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

[FromTheGang]

@cs905s Sure! Go right ahead

[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.

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

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.

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.

[breegull64]

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