Bayou Boogie ~ Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest Cover

- Watch for falling barrels.
This game features one of my favorite original soundtracks that I've ever heard, with Stickerbush Symphony being my favorite song of all time. David Wise is known for his work on the Donkey Kong Country series, and it was only a matter of time before I covered another of his pieces. This one plays in Barrel Bayou, as well as one or two other levels, I believe.
I initially didn't care for this piece, possibly because of the strange percussive buildup that, when combined with the various deaths and bonus rooms that interrupt a level's music, prevented me from hearing and fully appreciating the bulk of the piece. After giving it a listen outside of the game, however, I grew to adore it just as much as any of Wise's many other masterpieces.
In terms of the arrangement, I wanted to do a lot with this one because I had a lot of time to work on it. This, combined with my increasing knowledge of music theory, allowed me to implement many harmonies, counter-melodies, and a unique solo section, all of which I am extremely proud of and excited for you all to hear. I also added the percussive sound of a comb very lightly in the mix, which I take no credit for. This idea actually came from Burning Idol's own phenomenal cover of this piece, which I recommend you all check out.
I'm really happy with this one, and I hope that you all enjoy it! Thanks for listening.

We’ve got some interesting happenings in this comments section. Oh well. Engagement is engagement, so… thanks guys.
Never feed the haters
I scrolled and scrolled and couldn't find any haters, so now we know how people really feel. It is somewhat rough in places but also good.
@@dewhi100when I wrote the initial comment, I was only referring to the repetitive comments that write, “good poop music.” Most of the comments that have come in since then have been constructive and encouraging, which I appreciate.
This is an amazing version
Thank you!!
This game's OST is top tier. Really nice take on this atmospheric piece. I really like the unique flair you've put into your arrangement! I love how it builds up over time.
Thank you so much for listening! I really wanted to put a lot of my own touch into this one.
This is my favorite rendition of this song I've found thus far, and I STAY hunting for DKC2 covers. Excellent work. The culmination at 4:09 is amazing.
Thank you! That means so much to me! I’m a sucker for moments when the instrumentation falls out and only the melody plays. I knew this track had the perfect spot for me to fit that in. I’m really glad you liked it!
Beautiful rendition. The flute gave me goosebumps! Thank you for sharing your music.
Of course! What’s the point of music if it’s not shared? I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
Came for the sax. Was not disappointed. Fantastic cover
Thank you so much!!
amazing dude! love it, thanks for making this
Thank you for listening! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
Dude you are so cool for doing this. Instant sub!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent arrangement. Very tasteful soloing on all the different instruments. Looking forward to future videos, as you continue to improve your intonation. 🙂
Thanks so much! It’s a constant work in progress, that’s for sure.
DK themes are some of the best ever. The nostalgia this game gives me is so unique, good job on this one, you gave it justice!
I agree. The original Donkey Kong Country trilogy has some of the best video game music out there. I’m glad you enjoyed my rendition!
That improv harmony with the sax and the pan flute is freaking sweet!! I didn't know it was possible to make this track even more epic!!
Thanks! It means a lot that you enjoyed it!
This is a banger! Please do more!
I definitely plan on it! Thank you!!
The harmony you added is amazing!
Thank you so much! I’ve been really happy with my arranging recently, so that means a lot!
At first I wasn't sure how I felt about it at first, but there is a nice funkiness to your rendition and a more personal, gritty quality to some of the instrumentation that grew on me so fast. Definitely gonna be coming back to this cover a lot.
That means a lot to me, thank you! I had an idea and ran with it, and even though it may stray from the original, I’m very happy with it!
This
Amazing cover. I love songs of DK2...cheers from Brazil dude 🇧🇷
Thank you so much! It’s such a beautiful soundtrack!
Amazing work man love it.
Thank you so much!
Great job! I love your use of subtle elements like a comb to create some of your sounds. It's excellent.
Thank you so much! It was actually Burning Idol who first used that comb trick for their cover of this track. I figured I’d use it while still adding my own flares in the arrangement. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Hair comb is actually awesome omg - peak instrumentation right there 😎
Awesome stuff as always, can never go wrong with the DKC OST's - wonderful work! I'm also loving how the visuals for these pieces are progressing too, this one felt nice and dynamic!
Thank you so much! I knew I had to go all out with a David Wise piece. His work is so fantastic!
This is so lovely! Happy Easter! I love classic video games.
Thank you so much, and happy (now slightly belated) Easter to you!
Nice work dude, that was beautiful.
Thank you so much!!
Really like it man, especially the flute. Great job!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Really awesome rendition, feels like a jam session between the kongs
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
I grew up with this, I´m a 35 years old grown ass man, I´m crying right now, this is beautifull! Please keep up such great work ❤
Game music is emotional! Thanks so much for listening, and I’m glad I was able to channel some of those emotions here!
This was awesome, thanks for sharing!
Of course! Thank you for listening!
I noticed some negative feedback about the tones of the flute, and while I don't know music too well, I'd say I agree they're a little off. But this is still great work man. That part in the second half where you pair the flute with the sax and the back and forth between them was COOKING. Using a hair comb, the flute solo into the final part, this is super unique and really evolves the song which I love. Keep up the good work man
I really appreciate that! I’m super happy with how this arrangement turned out, but I definitely could have spent more time perfecting the actual recording. Maybe I’ll redo it at some point in the future. Regardless, your comment means a lot. Thank you!
Yes the winds need better tuning, but I still give mad props to a guy that's doing his own recording and playing like five different instruments.
I really appreciate that! The intonation’s a constant work-in-progress, for sure.
love this! please do more DK like this!
Thank you so much!
I plan to! Donkey Kong Country tracks are so amazing that they’re always a challenge to cover in a way that does them justice, but any time I have an idea, I’ll go for it!
Was going through the DKC2 OST again and found your cover. I think it's great! ❤
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
This is wonderful!
Thank you so much!!!
This is so cool, I love it! ❤
Thank you so much!
amazing, thank you! beatifull song
Thank you so much for listening!!
HA HA HAW! *Throws box at you
nice video and cover, i love it
Haha, thank you so much!!
Great job! Keep doing what you like! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much! I will!
Love the filter on this
YO THIS IS AWESOME
Thank you!!
Sounds very nice, good work
Thank you!
David Wise definitely loves flutes
That he does!
damn, friend. You're incredible.
Thank you so much!!!
Great cover, thanks for sharing! :)
Thank you for listening! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Uma das melhores trilhas sonoras! Parabéns pelo ótimo trabalho!
Thank you so much!!
Just love it! 😍
Thank you!!
Absolute banger
Thank you!
Ah yes the best instrument the hair comb🥶
Don’t underestimate it.
This is a beautiful version
Thank you so much!
I love the way you sound, it is pretty unique and so hypnotising. The combination of the drone synth who play "dom dom" and your bass line is so soft you nailed it ! . Sometime the harmony between the sax's section and the flute seem a little bit off ? out of tune ? IDK but it's clearly a part of the experience ! Congratulation, it is a fucking cool tribute !! ( my apologies for the english )
Thank you so much! This was the first cover I really experimented with when arranging. Unfortunately, the flute is pretty out of tune, which I somehow didn’t catch at the time, but I’ve been paying extra attention to intonation recently.
Weird. Love it.
Thank you!!!
Sensacional, você é demais!
Thank you so much!!
This should be on spotify
Maybe it will one day once I figure out all of the logistics regarding that stuff haha! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I have that exact same comb! XD
No way! Comb twins!
well done!
Thank you!
this slays 💖✨
Thank you!
Really cool :)
Thank you so much!
Great
Thanks!!
Beautiful rendition bruh. I'm not jealous lol. Could use a bit of refinement. Other than that it's perfect. This is a total piece of art. Great job my guy.
P.s. you're like Ron Burgundy with that flute.
Thank you so much! I definitely agree that it could be better. There’s always room for improvement.
Thanks for listening!
I have to say, I still really enjoyed this piece. Well, it isn’t quite perfect in a little rough around the edges. I think the additional character really adds something looking forward to more content from you and seeing how you grow and develop.
Thank you! I hope to keep improving and making better music in the new year!
Awesome work my man! Just maybe double check the tuning on those instruments
Intonation is something I’m always working on. It’s not the greatest haha! Thanks for the constructive criticism, and I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I like your use of saxofone and flute on the "solos" more than on the harmony. Correction: i preferred them when you played on the last part
Thank you! I like to experiment with ideas here and there. I’m glad you liked it!
Wow, this is amazingly well done!! If you're ever down for a little collab... let me know, greatly enjoy your sound!! 😎
Thank you so much!!! I’ll keep that in mind! Feel free to contact me if you ever have ideas of your own as well!
Everyone else is commenting so I'll join in: comb your hair more. I always do it when I get right out of the shower. Because I am commenting more about myself than your efforts, it makes me correct.
Great video too.
This is a great comment.
All of that aside, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Don't know why I read "Bayou Billy" instead of Bayou Boogie and was wondering if it would be a mix between those games' music LOL
I have a feeling DKC x Bayou Billy would honestly work pretty well!
If there is a song by DK you have gained a subscriber 😃👏👏👏
Thank you so much! Donkey Kong has always had some of the best music. You can count on me covering more DKC tracks in the future.
@@StaleKarma 😁
this is sick! love the arrangement and the creativity of the stuff like the comb and some of the improv adds a lot!
i do think the sax might be slightly out of tune in places. don't mean it as a criticism, just some feedback for the next arrangement :) a well-earned sub, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, and I really appreciate the feedback! Between my relatively young relationship with both the saxophone and post-recording effects, I’ll often either overuse autotune or simply not realize that I’m playing somewhat out of tune, and it is definitely something that I need to put a lot more focus on going forward.
Thanks again for the feedback, and I’m so glad you enjoyed the cover!
Keep going bro! Must have been hard af to combine everything. Some mistakes here and there but youll get the hang of it. /Subscribed
Thank you so much! As long as I can find a way to improve cover after cover, I’m happy with what I’m making. I appreciate the comment!
And is that a 49ers logo i see? We in the bay?? I'd love to come to a live show
It is! I’m actually on the east coast, but keep an eye out! If all goes well, I might be making an appearance at MAGWest in September, which is pretty close to SF!
@@StaleKarmaSounds good i'll keep a look out for that! Keep up the great work!
well done! Sounds needs a little work but overall this is great
Definitely. Intonation’s a big focal point for me going forward. Thanks for the feedback!
More please...
I’m always working on more! Donkey Kong Country songs are so fantastic that I never feel up to the task of covering them unless I have a great idea, but I’m always thinking of covering more from this series.
Thanks for checking this one out!

7.8 of 10 not enough hair comb IGN
What a shame. I guess I’ll have to bust it out for every cover from now on.
I wouldn't say horribly out of tune. But it is out of tune. Bass also has a sour note. The main bass part that goes |A--A|A--G| repeated, there's something very wrong with the G. This is assuming key of A.
I think the cover by burning idol was better.
As do I.
Amazing cover and I love the free interpretation, but the flute is out of tune and its very audible in a few places.
Thank you so much, for both the praise and criticism. Since this video uploaded, I’ve been focusing a lot more of my listening time on intonation. It’s something I neglected for awhile, but I’m looking forward to improving! Thanks again!
winds are horribly out of tone
Make a video then
