He has no style He has no grace This kong feels out of place

It could be worse; you could have: -no style -no grace -a funny face

I love how normally DK has the most annoying sounding voice ever but when he sings he sounds like an angel ascending from the heavens.

This episode really frustrates me, because the others never learn that Donkey Kong was set up and didn't actually do all those things that annoyed/angered everyone. They just wanted him back because he was the only one who could deal with King K. Rool. It's such a shame...

Sakurai: Releases Byleth D.K. Mains:

This song is legitimately depressing.

Donkey Kong when he realizes he hasn’t had a game for over 9 years:

Lyrics: I don't know what's happening to me, I'm getting all the blame for things I didn't do. Can anybody tell me just what I did wrong? I'm all alone and I'm so confused. I don't know what everyone wants me to be, I only know just how to be me. Once I was the ape of the isle but they think I'm a coward, An absolute zero, I'm nobody's hero.

*"I don't know what everyone wants me to be"* *"I only know just how to be me"* That shit hits hard bro.

His girlfriend slipped on a banana and he got canceled on Twitter

If Seth Rogen doesn’t sing this in the upcoming Mario movie we riot. Well, at least we got the DK Rap.

When your happy, you enjoy the music. When your sad, you understand the lyrics

This needs to be the Game Over theme in the next Donkey Kong game.

I searched "country music", and got this. Good job, KZfaq.

Fun Fact: Sterling Jarvis the singing voice for DK also sang the Zoboomafoo theme...I thought that was pretty wild.

sad this didnt appear in the movie but the Voice actor for this song did appear as a cameo yelling "I love you DK!"

0% Naked Girls 0% Cars 0% Riches 100% Talent

Kids these days don't know QUALITY anime.

"An absolute zero, I'm nobody's hero." Pretty accurate description of my love life.

Theme of Nintendo forgetting DK’s birthday

What scares me is that this is actually a good song

No joke, this song actually got me emotional.

“I don’t know what everyone wants me to be, I only know just how to be me” This is my favorite part.

If Seth Rogan sings this, his casting will be worth it.

I came here for a quick laugh and left with tears.

This actually sounds like it could pass as an actual song, the singing is amazing.

Couple of years into the future I'm gonna trick a 90's Radio Station into playing this

The “I’m nobody’s hero” sent goosebumps down my legs 🥺

When the kid with straight A’s gets a A- on their test

I heard this on a ytp once and I honestly thought it was an actual 80s song

"I don't know what everyone wants me to be. I only know just how to be me." this Donkey Kong cartoon is giving me an existential crisis that I didn't ask for.

Seth Rogen has a massive legacy to live up to

LOL feels bad kong. Her girlfriend slips on a banana once and everyone hates him

The "once I was the ape of the hour, now they think I'm a coward" is that chill worthy singing I live for

Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze bad ending.

When you’re happy, listen to a song for the music. When you’re sad, you listen to a song for the lyrics.

For the choppy animation and generic story arc, this show had a 10/10 music team.

This song has no business being in a low res cgi cartoon

I once took a heroic dose of mushrooms and bawled my eyes out to this song. In that moment, I was Donkey Kong, and I felt his pain.

Donkey Kong fans after every Nintendo direct:

This song is actually good, and if it didn’t say “ape” no one would be able to tell it was from DK.

The show is so off-model, it's sort of terrifying me. But whoever voiced Donkey Kong is an AMAZING singer!

The fact that so many songs from this show were absolute bangers speaks volumes about the musicians working on the show at the time.

This songs only crime is not being longer.

Lyrics: I don’t know what’s happening to me, I’m getting all the blame for things I didn’t do. Can anybody tell me just what I did wrong? I’m all alone and I’m so confused. I don’t know what everyone wants me to be, I only know just how to be me. Once I was the ape of the hour, Will they think I’m a coward? An absolute zero, I’m nobody’s hero. An absolute zero... I’m nobody’s hero... I’m nobody’s hero, hero, hero....

when your sidekick has an higher tier than u

This is the first episode in the show that I genuinely enjoyed. Everybody said the show was terrible and didn’t deserve any credit, but I didn’t listen. I watched this show, and this is evidence that the show really was something special.

this song actually gives me the chills for how shockingly good It Is

If Kong lost in Godzilla vs Kong, this would probably be him afterwards.

DK mains after they find out Byleth can 0-to-death them

Thanks Vinny

The spanish dub sounds sadder at the end... He goes: "Ya no soy un heroe..." "Y eso me duele..." Which on english it translates to: "Now im not a hero..." "And that hurts me a lot..." This shit goes deep man...

In this iconic scene, we see the prodigious Donkey Kong at his lowest point. Drained of his defining strength, and crushed under waves of self loathing, DK wails his sorrow into the cold unfeeling world in this chilling musical number. Many have speculated that the plane's erratic flight pattern prior to the opening verse is deeply rooted symbolism, for the rise, fall, and redemption of the titular biblical figure Sampson, which this genre defining story took it's inspiration from. Perhaps the infinite blue void symbolizes God, or a deity of some sort that Donkey Kong laments to. When viewed through this religious lens, the line "Can anybody tell me what I've done wrong? I'm all alone and I'm so confused." can be seen as DK questioning his faith, and for once opening his mind to the prospect of a truly random, and chaotic realm in which he is absolutely alone. While chilling to think of, this scene is iconic because of the several possible interpretations of what lies in Donkey Kong's mind, and beyond. No matter how you view it, it's hard to deny the chills that sink to one's bones when hearing DK accept his grim reality as, as he puts it, "an absolute zero." This effectively canonically chronicles DK's decent into nihilism, which of course forever echoes in the DK mythos. Just as Walter White "died" in the crawlspace, and emerged as something new, The same happen's to DK, as we see the downfall of the Kong family in years to come. Of course, as God allowed Sampson his strength back for one final righteous slaughter, the bulls-eye banana restores strength back to a whole new entity, one that only barely resembles Donkey Kong on the surface. Overall, this scene is timeless, and damn flawless too. I've yet to see another like it with as much thematic relevancy, and raw emotion. Truly, a perfect scene.

I really want to put "I dont know what anyone wants me to be. I just only know how to be me" as like a bio for some sort of social media and when someone says "Wow thats deep" i can say "Yea its from the donkey kong country animated series"

This song is so simple but so fantastic, both methodically and lyrically. It really hits close to home with the verses... How the hell did this masterpiece come from the Donkey Kong series?!

Seth Rogen better step up if he wants to live up to the legacy he's inheriting.

"absolute zero" while laying on a snowy cold mountain _i see what you did there_

I don’t know where I heard this song before but I was convinced this was some early 2000’s punk rock song. I’ve been searching for this. And it’s some fucking animated donkey Kong shit. Incredible

This actually made me cry. The story is so dynamic, it’s heartfelt, and it teaches us a lesson about love and respect. I give this story a 10/10.

Donkey Kong should've sang this in the movie when him and Mario were stuck in the giant fish

This show had a lot of damn catchy songs for what it was

"can anybody just tell me what I did wrong" *"CHOP CHOP"*

Donkey Kong just remember... You're my hero and you will always be I love you

Donkey Kong when he realized Seth Rogen is playing him.

I still can't get over the fact this sounds like an actual song

It really says something about the music industry when I'd rather listen to Donkey Kong than the radio.

The song DK monologued in his head after his defeat to Mario in a kitty power-up in the Kong Arena.

I feel really bad for DK here like getting blamed for something that you never did and not even getting a chance to explain was just sad cause no one bothered to listen to him even when he tried to tell the truth, he got shut down immediately.

I’m still in aw that someone decided that the Donkey Kong country show should be a musical.

Everyone here is talking about the music but no one is talking about the cinematography

When Nintendo doesn’t celebrate Donkey Kong’s 40th anniversary

Fun fact: the guy that did Donkey Kong's singing voice also sang the Zoboomafoo theme song, Sterling Jarvis

This isn't normal. How could they give hum such a good voice actor? A small part like this given such care and musical beauty?

He ran out of coconut cream pies to shower us with

I saw this video when I was in a bad part of my life and it, actually, made me cry.

This song has no bussiness hitting this hard.

Eminem has been real quiet since Dk started talking

The best song from DKC TV Series. The fact that the Japanese dub omitted this musical number from the episode is a travesty.

I never thought I'd feel like I'd ever connect with Donkey Kong on a spiritual level, but hey, here we are.

Could you imagine if, same VA and all, they include an extended version of this song in the rumored DK spin-off movie?

Why isn't there a full version of this masterpiece? DK's singer was so good holy shit.

Before there was Let It Go, there was I'm Nobody's Hero.

0:30 Donkey Kong is just like me fr

The instruments fading out and the wind kicking in at the very end is what makes this for me.

WHY THE HECK DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A 90S R&B LOVE SONG???? AND WHY DO I KEEP LISTENING TO IT XD

Gonna be honest, until I heard "I was the ape" I thought this was a real pop song dubbed over the scene.

You're my hero DK 😭😭😭

Say what you want but this song actually hits home for me

Ok i need to get this off my chest This song is actually good

Anybody know who the hell did DK's singing voice? It's really good. Doesn't fit and kinda weird but this guy is really good.

R&B hit of the 90s

This song is so unexpectedly, surprisingly and unironically real damn good. It hits on a deep level and Seth's voice is just so pleasing to the ear, too.

I can't believe this is where this fucking song came from.

This could actually be a real song if "ape of the hour" were replaced with "man of the hour."

Why is this so good?

14 year old girls: "Billie Eilish songs are so sad" Me an intellectual:

Out of context, this looks like Donkey Kong is a businessman having a midlife crisis.

This is beautiful. Shrek is proud of you, young dong expansion.

Lyrics: [Verse 1] I don’t know whats happening to me I’m getting all the blame for things i didn’t do Can anybody tell me just what i did wrong I’m all alone and I’m so confused [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know what everyone wants me to be I only know just how to be me [Chorus] Once I was the Ape of the Hour; They think I’m a coward An absolute zero, I’m nobody’s hero [Outro] An absolute zero i’m nobody’s hero i’m nobody’s hero

Can't believe Reggie sang this entire song before he was even president of Nintendo omg So talented
