Maybe he's stronger due to being a robot but less agile due to being in an unfamiliar body? Notice he can shake the entire tree, but throughout the entire song is constantly losing balance. But his initial denial of being a robot is partly because he's always been both strong and clumsy, just not to this degree. So while he's stronger than ever, he's also clumsier than ever, so to him nothing has really changed, just progressed beyond its natural state. Even his voice is the same, just with a "robot" filter over it. Only when he takes a look at his metallic hands does he realize something's wrong. I'm thinking too deep into this..
I remember hearing that the shows animation at least the first season was early motion capture Maybe at least for the song they did it the normal way to make the motion more robotic and jerky, like Dk is trying to move in ways the robot can’t Or it was from season 2 which in my last minute research was a different animation studio
That's because it's a blatant ripoff of Daft Punk. Seriously; just replace "a metal head" with "around the world". It should come as no surprise that this TV show was never known for its originality. ;-P
My FAVOURITE part of this is actually just how he falls over and screams "HELP I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP" to Diddy, which is IMMEDIATELY followed by a very casual "Can you pass me a banana little buddy?". It's so weird and I love it
Man what an excellent piece of storytelling this scene is. Diddy doesn't recognize his old friend because of this terrifying change. At first Donkey Kong refuses to acknowledge that anything has happened, choosing to live in denial of the horror he has become. Diddy keeps trying to break through to him, knowing that the old DK is trapped there somewhere. Eventually he breaks through and DK slowly starts to realize something is wrong. He becomes fully aware of his own mechanical monstrosity. You can see the hopelessness in his eyes as he repeats, "I'm a metal head." DK has given up. There is no other option for him than to live in this inescapable hell, suffering for all of eternity.
lol I think it may have been a deliberate choice on their part. Gives DK's singing voice a lot more impact. I don't think it would've hurt to find a singing voice for Diddy too though.
A lot of people are praising dk for his singing here but i honestly think his animation could do with some praise too. I love how robo dk moves and dances during the song, i find it very satisfying
This has been an inside joke amongst me and my friends for four years now. Every time someone says “who else would it be” our minds immediately go to this
When you think about it, Diddy's lyrics are somewhat pointless (And his singing voice doesn't help one bit-) Meanwhile DK can make a legitimate song, a somewhat deep one when looked at right.
There exists a "better version" of this song that's literally just the same but Diddy is gone. Without his lyrics it sounds more like DK starts singing as a response to someone - probably Diddy tbh, especially since that's how the scene goes - and then throughout the song he comes to the realization himself, with no prompting from Diddy
See, the only parts of the Donkey Kong Country show I watched as a kid were the episodes on the "Legend of the Crystal Coconut" VHS, so I only watched four of the least strange episodes in the series. So seeing things like this or "Leo Luster" or "Eddie, Let Me Go Back to my Home" REALLY throws me off.
I like how there's absolutely no transition whatsoever, not even a slowly growing instrumental just one frame they're talking the next Diddy's dancing to a gear-filled background.
Lyrics: Who else would it be? Is there something you should tell me, big buddy? Are you aware of the glare from the sun shining off of your hair? I don't know what you mean, it's just a healthy sheen I must admit I feel a little strange But I've never felt better, I'm stronger than ever Can't you see nothing's changed? I don't know how to tell you, metal buddy But you look just like a solar-powered turbo-charged washing machine I'm not light on my feet, now I clank and I squeak But my voice is the same when I speak My hand looks like aluminum foil Does this mean that I need a tune-up and a change of oil? I'm a metal head, a metal head, a metal head, a metal head I'm a metal head, a metal head, a metal head, a METAL HEAD!
The fact the voice for Diddy did the voice for Yoshi in the super Mario world show is mad, only difference is, is that I could watch the Mario World Series without cringing or covering my ears, every time Yoshi speaks.
All DK wanted was for his friend to Give him a banana, and diddy broke into song. I can't believe this.
+MrWilliam675 This is an outrage, Diddy needs to be stopped!
I also like how one lyric is DK saying he feels stronger than before, and then the next one is how nothing changed.
What a crap
+Gamebro
Diddy has been NERFED!
And called him a solar powered turbo charged washing machine. What a jerk.
I feel sorry for Diddys VA actually. I bet he's not a bad singer, but there's quite a challenge with singing while still doing Diddys voice.
drummerdude476 yeah. It doesn't help that DK's singing voice is pretty good...kinda jarring with Diddy's bad singing.
Should've just did what donkey Kong did and half-ditched it
Its yoshi's va
How old that the English dub is the only one where Diddy is played by a guy, since his American VA can pull off a kid voice.
@@Joshua12450
Well donkey kong's speaking va and singing voice are different people so that probably helps too
i like how dk just skips anger, bargaining and depression and just goes from denial to acceptance
Seven stages of grief speedrun any precent
2 years later and I beat the speedrun. I managed to skip the beginning cutscene and skip straight to the end of the game at Acceptance
Diddy's next lines convinced him.
HE HAS NO STYLE

I'm guessing he did a pratfall to get Diddy's attention.
But his voice is the same when he speaks.
"Help Diddy! I've fallen and I can't get up!"
best show 11/10
"Can you pass me a banana, little buddy?"
DK, is that really you?
"Who else would it be?"
*music*
is there something you should tell my big buddy? Are you aware of the glare from the sun shining off of your hair
Man, hearing Diddy's awful singing voice next to DK's (surprisingly good) voice is a very stark contrast.
+PurpleWind64 OK good its not just me. XD
I know right?
Brendan Greene for me Diddy sound like he going to die of singing XD
Diddy turns what would be a great song too better then ok/pretty good song.
PurpleWind64 Well, it is the same voice as Yoshi from the SMW cartoon.
The animation for Robo-DK holds up so much better than literally everything else in the show
Yeah it's so strange
I remember hearing that the shows animation at least the first season was early motion capture
Maybe at least for the song they did it the normal way to make the motion more robotic and jerky, like Dk is trying to move in ways the robot can’t
Or it was from season 2 which in my last minute research was a different animation studio
@@treyblowski this is season 2
That’s because every character moves like a robot so when they actually made a robot it looked normal

It's the theory of a million monkeys on a typewriter writing Shakespeare fully realized.
Diddy's dance moves are the greatest things I have laid my eyes upon, while DK's voice is the most angelic thing I have ever heard.

I'm not the only one. SHit-
which is why diddy's singing voice is trash so that everything is balanced out
👌
And DK seems to be having a robotic seizure, so that balances it out too

I don't think it would've hurt to find a singing voice for Diddy too though.
They didn't rip off Daft Punk and even if they did, homage does not equal rip off.
It's only a ripoff if it's completely wholesale.

The fact that this is officially licensed by Nintendo is even funnier
The really bizzare thing about this is that Dk does have a really good singing voice. And also atleast some of the songs are actually very catchy
