Donkey Kong Meets Phoenix Wright: Legend of the Crystal Turnabout
DangoDoof for Kaptain Skurvy (Singing)
Video Examples:
Someone uploaded all of Skurvy's songs in one video
Some notes:
- You only need to record the lines spoken by Donkey Kong marked "SKURVY ", and the chorus sections marked "ALL KONGS"
- Just a reminder: you can apply to be the singing voice of a character without necessarily applying to be their speaking voice, or vice versa. Just let me know in your audition email.
- I have included instrumental versions of the songs for you to sing along with, but please do not record your voice over the instrumental track. I need to be able to hear your voice by itself while considering who to choose.
- You do not have to record multiple takes of the songs unless you want to. For the most part, you can just hit me with your best take!
"Skurvy's Sea Shanty"
[To the Tune of “What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor,” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOwXlANwerI and "Shipwrecked" by Alestorm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOwXlANwerI Instrumental version here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hthWsPOw_zc Let me if you need help on how the lyrics should be said and I'll try to accomodate]
[I have recorded a sample of what the song should roughly sound like, which I have uploaded to Google Drive for demonstration. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ABMQovvVasGItnDRccPrNmE-CK3aEvMM/view?usp=sharing]
SKURVY:
What would I do with a broken mirror?
What would I do with a broken mirror?
What would I do with a broken mirror?
Early in the morning!
I still need a mirror!
I still need a mirror!
I still need a mirror!
Early in the morning!
I can’t shave without one!
I can’t shave--
*Record Scratch*
K ROOL (Speaking): We don’t care about the mirror anymore; the problem is that you could have stolen the Crystal Coconut…
*Pirate Metal Begins*
SKURVY (Speaking): Arrh! It always be about the Crystal Coconut with you lot! Can’t a buccaneer just steal a mirror in peace?! Arrrrrh!!
DIDDY (Speaking): But you’re always trying to snag the Crystal Coconut, Skurvy!
DIXIE (Speaking): Yeah! What makes this time any different?
SKURVY (Speaking): I’ve been thinkin’… all this talk o’ legacies ‘n’ ownership o’ the blasted thing… maybe this Crystal Coconut business might not be all it be cracked up to be. Arrh…
SKURVY:
When I was but a lad
Me great-great-grandpappy said to me;
Er, I can’t remember well,
But who cares, he can burn in hell!
That coconut belongs to me
It’s been me right from birth
But I be sick o’ me destiny
It be more trouble than it be worth!
SKURVY (Speaking): So, nuts to the coconut, I say! Arrh! I don’t even want the thing anymore!
SKURVY:
Hey! I’m nasty!
Hey! I’m rude!
I’m one bad pirate dude!
But for once I hope you’ll see,
That this time, it wasn’t me!
Hey! I’m nasty!
Hey! I’m rude!
I’m one bad pirate dude!
But for once I hope you’ll see,
That this time, it wasn’t me!

I'm pretty convinced at this point, I think you're going to make a great Kaptain Skurvy. Welcome aboard! And, as a side note, some good Alestorm songs: "No Grave But the Sea," "Wenches and Mead." Also, funny enough, Alestorm very recently actually did a cover of one of Skurvy's songs, "Pirate's Scorn" in an album they even named after the Crystal Coconut, lol. Hilarious coincidence that they are familiar with Donkey Kong Country too!
Thanks a lot for the opportunity! Cheers to a good time as our beloved pirate! I'll definitely look into those songs, I agree it's a pretty awesome coincidence that they know Skurvy enough to cover a song lol
