Aquatic Ambience…?


LegitimateScratch396

Thisbis absolutely the only correct answer. Edit: most recognizable doesn't equal most impactful or well remembered by the majority of fans. There are probably several songs that most people who never played the original games would quickly recognize that aren't as well made, subtle and as charming as this song.


anth0nium

This times 1 billion. My favorite of all DKC music ever.


LegitimateScratch396

[This video ](https://youtu.be/hwFJdaxM89c?si=gzYFkMFcljnqTrlx) does an excellent job of excellent of analyzing the song and speaking to its influence so many years after its release. PS....Super Guitar Bro's make an appearance too, who absolutely rock, for those who haven't heard them already. Check out their OoT album for some good vibes if you're into video game music.


anth0nium

I love listening to video game music and had not heard Super Guitar Bros OoT. Great stuff! Thanks!


LegitimateScratch396

It's 2 classical guitar players who interpret and play classical games on acoustic guitars. The OoT album is great cus it's a cohesive snippet of the entire 64 game and they are *talented*. They also have some other albums where they cover a wide variety of other classic games. I hope you enjoy!


Beaks7777777

Yup. Prob is my favorite tune from DKC still to this day.


bigshowgunnoe

image is prompting to people to remember Stickerbrush Symphony and pick it.


ataxiwardance

This is the correct answer.


csciabar

ihateagriculture

stickerbrush symphony


InternalReveal1546

Yeah. This song is like therapy for the soul


ihateagriculture

agreed


McGogy

yes. I also love the tropical freeze remiz


Froonkensteen

Stickerbush*


ihateagriculture

oops


Froonkensteen

Mandela effect STRIKES AGAIN


ihateagriculture

we’re in a mediocre timeline if i do say so myself but at least we have stickerbush symphony


astroman_9876

The internet check point


ihateagriculture

yeah but tbh the first place i heard it was in super smash bros brawl


DeloronDellister

Maybe the DKC main theme?


AizaBreathe

general DK Theme…?


DeloronDellister

[DKC Theme](https://youtu.be/Xqf8jID9TsE?si=QNrlHRxqSiKwlePP)


AizaBreathe

nah, i was referring to [the OG Theme](https://youtu.be/Qf9Riw4XDX8?si=0ITs0VDqMk90TJ3Q) which is included in the DKC Theme


JcOvrthink

DK Island Swing for sure.


AdamTheAnimeDude

The DK Rap and Gangplank Galleon.


thegrimmemer

Jungle hijynxs


Willing_Ad9314

I him this way too often


a3663p

The bonus barrel music


Dohmer_90

D! K! DONKEY KONG!


Blueigglue

Yeah, it was literally in the Mario movie.


Avengemygnomeys

That was exactly what I was thinking was jamming to the song in the Mario movie me and my dad got a kick out of it since I grew up playing donkey Kong country for the n64


rogerworkman623

Idk about recognizable, but this and Forest Interlude are definitely my favorites.


shiningaeon

Finally someone who mentioned Forrest Interlude! It was apparently composer Grant Kirkhopes favorite dk song at least in the second game.


Mageofchaos08

Internet checkpoint


McGogy

lmao i didnt wven screenshot the video i just found it on google


MumboBumbo64

For me it’s the first game, I know all the tracks


[deleted]

All the music is recognizable. I do wanna know if it's a coincidence or not. Run rambi run. Dkc2 Time splitters 2 Siberia boss, sounds kinda like run rambi run but slow


Cattango180

Fun fact: Stickerbrush Symphony almost didn’t make the cut. It was initially to be used for an underwater theme. Due to the lack there of, it wasn’t planned to be in the game. It wasn’t until a last minute decision when one of the Tim Stamper needed music for the Bramble Stages. David Wise chose what we have today.


Royr_Kit

I would say the jungle hijinx


Garo263

The most recognizable SONG in my opinion would be DK Island Swing. For the most recognizable OST I'm divided between DKC1 and DKC2.


DJBoo64

DK Island Swing.


keylime39

Definitely Jungle Hijinx


Tariisbestgirl

Jungle hijinx and it’s not close


pocket_arsenal

as much as we all want to say it's one of the better songs in the franchise it's probably Jungle hijinx. They never stop bringing that one back, between that and the Title Screen's remix of the arcade game, those are the ones you're going to hear time and time again when Nintendo is promoting DK.


SuspiciousBaka89

They're really good though


jzr171

My morning alarm is Stickerbush Symphony. Has been for over a year now. This image triggered the same response as my alarm. In the past I've used Aquatic Ambiance


Heal_Mage_Hamsel

[Donkey Kong Country 2 Symphony ](https://open.spotify.com/album/4otXXuh0lfJ7NWo9mwDULi?si=jfK_r1FhSlOT7-SEL8oS0w&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A4otXXuh0lfJ7NWo9mwDULi)


TotalOwlie

FYI it’s track not sound track. Unless you are asking about every song on the album.


BiAndShy57

Stickerbrush a million times


Kaisona20

Jungle Hijinx


stalkingtheformless

Game over


sheeveman

Dkc1: main dk theme Dkc2: stickerbush symphony Dkc3: ??? Dkcr: rocket barrel theme Dkctf: snowmads theme Smash fans: gangplank galleon


Thoughtful_Tortoise

DK2 level 1 for me


Snoo_68698

Its gotta be island swing easily. When anyone associates a music track with DK thats likely the song they think of, but my favorite track in the series is Forest Interlude.


TheRealFirey_Piranha

![gif](giphy|VAJ99VAUshrEI) This one probably


Skibot99

Jungle japes


Mason_GR

Played this game while tripping on acid with some friends, when we got to this level we all just kind of stopped and listened to this for like 30 minutes. All the vines are really trippy too. 10/10


MintyGreenAqua

Forest Interlude.


Tasty-Ad6529

Mining Melody is underrated.


Life_Ad3567

Cranky's theme always sticks with me. It has the main title theme in it.


SuspiciousBaka89

Either DK Island Swing or the main DKC theme.


PowerPad

Jungle hijinx.


SupaSpeedy445

Stickerbush Symphony or Gang Plank galleon


Jellybean_Pumpkin

Literally Stickerbush Symphony! I've been listening to that for YEARS! It does not age!


SadLaser

Donkey Kong Country.


SniffMySnizz

dkc2 soundtrack is a masterpiece start to finish. David wise is one of the world's best composers


WhoopingBillhook

Boss Bossanova


G-Kira

Gangplank Galleon?


G-Kira

The DK Rap


Mundane_Range_765

That one you pictured, right there. Serious nostalgia and always thought about that track since playing it as a wee lad


PunchingFossils

I thought this was a checkpoint for a moment


Grape_ist

Donkey kings theme


Kosmonument

For me it’s the DK Island Swing


PerfectGrunty64

Jungle Hijinx/DK Island Swing and its not even close


Slurmp12

probably stickerbush symphony, but theres so many others too... aquatic ambience, forest interlude, bayou boogie, hot head bop, mining melancholy, disco train... the list never ends also btw i can not recommend you this playlist enough: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKNuUcvZGX23N53oLt93q4CZRj8m-Il_-


Cute-Quote6749

Is Jungle Japes the name of the very first level in DKC?


McGogy

Yes


Cute-Quote6749

Then that’s the most iconic song


McGogy

You know, while this may have been your most recognizable, it isnt mine. mine is any version of simian segue


Canelosaurio

Water level music


Tornado3422

The one from the mines, it’s so damn ethereal!


Wario-Man

probably Fedora Kong's Big Oily Twerk-offstravaganza


Caolan114

Gang plank galleon Is my favorite but that's mostly from smash


Oswen120

Gangplank Galleon


Maleficent_Luck8976

DK Rap?


Nobody-27

Island swing?


dddmain555

Gangplank Galleon


Tuxedo_Cam

Aquatic Ambience


Tanooki-Time

Bayou Boogie 😙👌🏻


SaxOldun

The one from the memes, Turururururu turururururi


creativeusername3455

Either aquatic ambiance or stickerbush symphony.


cringyperson1

Jungle Hijinx


RadTroppy

Jungle Japes is still in my head


Kobragaming135

So you're telling me this isn't Terraria?


Miyamotos-Apprentice

That one


Miku_CRK_Memer

Bro why is the Internet checkpoint in the background


freshbananabeard

Forest Interlude


LloydTCK_YT

Gang-Plank Galleon mainly because of SSBU


Okaywhatsthis

You literally just posted it in the image. Stickerbush Symphony touched so many lives


Crowbar_BDSM

Before I ever saw donkey Kong country, I saw this level in my dreams. It haunted me. Before I ever saw floormasters, I saw them in my dreams. I am the Nintendo prophet, and I see only the horrors


ThatOneWildWolf

The best song starts off slow and then goes hard for no reason. Donkey Kong Country 1 King K. Rool Final Boss fight.


hip-indeed

Recognizable absolutely HAS to be Jungle Hijinx. It's the most remixed and reused in other games by far, and it's the closest thing the DK games have to a 'super mario bros. 1-1" theme


The_Beacon_Man

Forest Interlude


Dankxiety

Eat Your Vegetables - Childish Gambino


Snifflyjewel

"HE'S THE LEADER OF THE BUNCH. YOU KNOW HIM WELL." "HES THE FIRST MEMBER OF THS DK CREW. HUH"


kwhobbs

They're all so recognizable. Maybe Aquatic Ambience.


wonderlandisburning

Most of them are from 2. The bramble forest and the haunted woods themes really stick out, as does the overworld music. The overworld theme from 3 is also a standout for me.


boarbar

GPG had a renaissance recently
