If only this was based on the Chad Leonard Cohen version, best by far. Some people don't even know he wrote the song because they only know the millions of lame ass ballad versions
My mother in law is obsessed with Hallelujah and seems to be on a quest to hear every version of it before she dies. I'm absolutely certain she has never heard this one, and I must correct that as soon as possible.
Seeing Chunky's face with the song really got to me. And then his verse... Finally, he was here for us. Such a tragic, unexpected loss for the DK clan. May he rest in peace.
For 40 years and over 300 covers, people still debate tooth and nail over Hallelujah's best version. Why they continue when the definitive version is right here, I have no idea.
This song is actually beautiful because they are saying such nice things about all the kongs. It's just pure positivity and there is something incredibly touching about that.
It's extra sad when you realize that Chunky was there for Lanky before, during, and after rehab. Lanky might not be alive today if it weren't for Chunky's support. We lost a great soul...
Lyrics for anyone who wants them all in one spot: Donkey Kong, you know him well He's finally back to kick some tail His gun can fire in spurts and he can shoot ya He's bigger, faster stronger too, The leader of the DK crew, The baffled Kong performing Hallelujah Hallelujah (x4) This Kong's got style, so listen dudes, She shrinks in size to suit her mood, She's one cool Kong, you'll not be wrong to choose her She'll skip and hop and make you clap But love is not a monkey rap, It's a quick and it's a nimble Hallelujah Hallelujah (x4) He has no style, he has no grace, Th-This Kong has a funny face, Can handstand and can stretch his arms out to ya Inflate just like a big balloon, And float real high and play this tune, This crazy Kong just digs the Hallelujah Hallelujah (x4) He's back again, about time too, And this time he is in the mood, And with his jetpack on he'll fly right through ya But Kremlings he is after you, He's tough and he's got pistols too, And every nut he shoots is Hallelujah Hallelujah (x4) Finally, he's here for you, The last member of DK's crew, He shoots out pinapples with his bazooka He may move slow, he can't jump high But this Kong is one hell of a guy, Can make a Kremling cry out "Hallelujah!" Hallelujah (x4)
Honestly, this is the best parody of the songs I've come across. It mashups two of my favorite songs, cleverly changes the lyrics (unlike One Winged Kong which just spams "D.K." over and over), and the sentence mixing is on point. Fantastic job! Wish I thought of it first.
The lyrics are structured like the original song, they rhyme properly and the sentence mixing is immaculate. This should have two million views and it's a crime it doesn't.
youre in luck, two wonderful fellas have already done that th-cam.com/video/U3s1gpbyrWs/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/vEcwHiTSRWM/w-d-xo.html edit: and another one th-cam.com/video/2-yEwF9t6Yc/w-d-xo.html
An appropriate mashup, considering that Leonard Cohen's 1988 album I'm Your Man famously had a picture of him eating a banana on the cover. Now I want vocal synthesis of Cohen saying "Oh! Banana!"
Wanted to find the video, instead I found Lunaticians 2, which may contain the greatest line know to man: “I heard losertown was that way… would you like directions?”
I'd pay good money to see this lyrical arrangement performed by an actual singer to the melody of hallelujah. Imagine the passion from the build-up at "inflates just like a big baloon."
I had this playing in the background so I couldn't see the lyrics in advance, and "can handstand and can stretch his arms out to ya" is where I finally broke.
Im not ashamed at all that I come back and experience this more than once a week. For over a year at this point. Once DK64 comes to NSO itll be daily while playing
It's a quick and it's a nimble Hallelujah
Amen

That's good, amen

You took one of the most beautiful songs of all time and mixed it with 'Hallelujah'.

Also introduce her to Wa-Elegy. It's a Waluigi parody of this song as well
@@mustacheman529 Lol, I'll have to look that one up, but I don't see her very often so it'll take a while.

No
Love is a monkey orchestra

Now I’m just imagining the DK crew at Chunky Kong’s funeral after he died and I want to cry.
CHUNKY KONG DIED?
Chunky, he's dead.
Not really, but we say he did anyway for the memes.
Your PFP makes it seem like Nolan is so stoned he just punched a hole in a baby.
And then there’s Chunky-
He is dead
He took a coconut to the head
It’s a strong and its a crushing hallelujah
“And every nut he shoots is hallelujah”
I felt that.
You felt his nut?
No but your mom did
I wish my mouth could be there. ;)
@@cocofellas in place of the nut or the gun?
Ha… Gaayyyyyy!
The first time you hear “love is not a monkey rap” it hits you like a freight train
The baffled Kong composes hallelujah.

I'm playing this at my funeral. It will be a mandatory sing-along.
If they don’t sing along, they are out of the will

They'll still be in the will but all they get is a boot to the head.

Chunky Kong, much like Jesus, is still with us today :*)

HUH!
D.K.! Chunky's dead!

Somehow you managed to capture the emotional impact and the message of BOTH songs so perfectly

"This crazy Kong just digs the hallelujah" killed me.
I fucking lost it at “it’s a quick and it’s a nimble Hallelujah”
omfg same
The ONLY flaw in this incredible masterpiece is that the Hallelujah choruses are not preceded with HUH!
I love the shot of Lanky Cohen holding a cigarette.
this sentence mixing is too good. i'd be able to tell what it said without the captions.
"Love is not a monkey rap."
Beautiful, poetic, inspiring. The lyric of the decade.
Inspired choice to use this for the Snyder Cut. Truly wasn't expecting Diddy's sacrifice to be as impactful as it was.
For 40 years and over 300 covers, people still debate tooth and nail over Hallelujah's best version.
Why they continue when the definitive version is right here, I have no idea.

I am formally declaring now that as they lay my lifeless body to rest down into the earth if this song is not playing I'll straight haunt everyone.
Little do you all know, these verses were among the many unused ones Leonard Cohen wrote.
"It's a quick and it's a nimble hallelujah"
HOLY SHIT what a fantastic edit
Lyrics for anyone who wants them all in one spot:
Donkey Kong, you know him well
He's finally back to kick some tail
His gun can fire in spurts and he can shoot ya
He's bigger, faster stronger too,
The leader of the DK crew,
The baffled Kong performing Hallelujah
Hallelujah (x4)
This Kong's got style, so listen dudes,
She shrinks in size to suit her mood,
She's one cool Kong, you'll not be wrong to choose her
She'll skip and hop and make you clap
But love is not a monkey rap,
It's a quick and it's a nimble Hallelujah
Hallelujah (x4)
He has no style, he has no grace,
Th-This Kong has a funny face,
Can handstand and can stretch his arms out to ya
Inflate just like a big balloon,
And float real high and play this tune,
This crazy Kong just digs the Hallelujah
Hallelujah (x4)
He's back again, about time too,
And this time he is in the mood,
And with his jetpack on he'll fly right through ya
But Kremlings he is after you,
He's tough and he's got pistols too,
And every nut he shoots is Hallelujah
Hallelujah (x4)
Finally, he's here for you,
The last member of DK's crew,
He shoots out pinapples with his bazooka
He may move slow, he can't jump high
But this Kong is one hell of a guy,
Can make a Kremling cry out "Hallelujah!"
Hallelujah (x4)
Dude, bless you
3:20 “Can make a Kremling cry out Hallelujah”
Is Chunky a priest now?
Chunky doing the Lord's work.
@@davisbowe8668 yes

True tho
Imagine the leader of the bunch, with a giant sword while the rest of his crew chant "DECAY" as he rises from your copy of DK64
@@goblinthetargetpractice6049 Every copy of DK64 is personalized

op holy shit you changed the phrasing and everything so it fit in 6/8 and the sentence mixing is so good??? i’m losing my mind this is so impressive
This is the most important video to ever exist
One of my favorite parts about this is how the solo and chorus parts have to be mixed to get the right words, but it still works perfectly.
“Every nut he shoots is hallelujah”
You and me both, Diddy
I wish my mouth could be there. ;)

@@Envy_May Hey, different pfp!

This is, honestly, incredibly good. I love it.
goddamn, the little parallels in the lyrics are so golden
“But love is not a monkey rap.”
Damn...
I am unironically so impressed with the creativity of some people, wow
A Brandon “Atrioc” Ewing Classic!
Can make a kremlin cry out hallelujah might be the best line of verse I’ve ever witnessed.
"Can make a Kremling cry out Hallelujah"
Damn he hits them so hard they become religious.
An appropriate mashup, considering that Leonard Cohen's 1988 album I'm Your Man famously had a picture of him eating a banana on the cover.

When I clicked this I was not expecting the musical masterpiece of our time

Sometimes a work of art is greater than the sum of its parts.
Hal ay loo YUH
holy shit, this is amazing. Would you mind if I used it for a Smash Bros DK combo video as background music?
AdamBro go right ahead 👍
Where’s the vid Adam?
Wanted to find the video, instead I found Lunaticians 2, which may contain the greatest line know to man: “I heard losertown was that way… would you like directions?”
I'd pay good money to see this lyrical arrangement performed by an actual singer to the melody of hallelujah.
Imagine the passion from the build-up at "inflates just like a big baloon."
This is art.
"But love is not a monkey rap " I felt that
As a side note, I wonder how a “quick and nimble” Hallelujah would sound.
...It's like I reached out, and I touched the face of God.
It's a shame Leonard Cohen never got to see the definitive version of his beloved song.
I had my closest experience to god while listening to this song. Thank you kind sir.
Bro! The way you edited the Hallelujahs in there was seriously creative. Nice job!
Love is not a monkey rap; it’s the time you spent with your crew.
This needs to be seen by more people
This channel is one of the best things TH-cam’s ever recommended
Art in its purest form.
I hate that this has taken 2 years to reach my recommended videos. But now it has, and I am finally a complete man.
This is incredibly well done and deserves way more views for how long it’s existed.
We’ve found it-the pinnacle of music genius.
Perfection
i agree
Truly beautiful and magnificent.
It perils of the DK crew made me cry.
An instant classic.
TIL every nut Diddy shoots is Hallelujah
I had this playing in the background so I couldn't see the lyrics in advance, and "can handstand and can stretch his arms out to ya" is where I finally broke.
TH-cam... Why did it take 2 whole years to recommend this most sublime combination of my favorite things to me?
This deserves way more attention for the time and effort that must've been put into this 👏
Ive listened to this like 12 times now... I cant...
Im not ashamed at all that I come back and experience this more than once a week.
For over a year at this point.
Once DK64 comes to NSO itll be daily while playing
Listening to this for the first time was a religious experience for me
It amazes me as to how many parodies this rap can muster.
And even when it all went wrong
I stand before the King of Kong
With nothing on my tongue but
"You're a cheetah"
Thanks, algorithm. Sometimes you get it right, and today you got it very, very right.
This is fucking art, dude
