From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The "DK Rap" (also known as "Da Banana Bunch") is a song that features in Rare and Nintendo's 1999 video game Donkey Kong 64. It was composed by Grant Kirkhope; Donkey Kong 64 director George Andreas co-wrote and performed, with Rare staffers joining in the chorus. The "DK Rap" is a comedy hip hop song whose lyrics describe Donkey Kong 64's five playable characters.

Despite Kirkhope and Rare's intent, many critics took the "DK Rap" as a serious songwriting attempt and it quickly garnered notoriety as one of the worst songs to feature in a video game.
