Donkey Kong Meets Phoenix Wright: Legend of the Crystal Turnabout
Aidan OD for Cranky Kong (Singing)
Video Examples:
Kongo Bongo Gone Wrongo , I'm Gonna Be a Star
Some notes:
- You only need to record the lines spoken by Cranky Kong marked "Cranky ", 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!
"Kongo Bongo Welcomes You!"
[To the Tune of "Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town" from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlaRFRA4qFU. Instrumental version here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX47_f0JYuk 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/1JSMvxCPAsBqRaxS61tznor9NKLG8eXP2/view?usp=sharing]
(Spoken during instrumental opening)
Phoenix: Wait a minute.
Phoenix: What’s going on?
Phoenix: Uhhhh… Maya, are you hearing this too?
Maya: Shhhh! I think they’re about to have a musical number, Nick!
DK: Hey everyone look, we’ve got some visitors now
And I’m sure that they’re here to see our island town
DK: Our first tourists ever and I know that they’ll feel right at home, on our isle!
Dixie: It’s a tropical treasure trove;
DK: many things to do here
Diddy: There’s bananas and coconuts;
DK: PLENTY to go around!
Cranky: So find a seat, kick up your feet;
DK: please enjoy your stay
your vacation has just begun!
ALL KONGS: So take a swing from the jungle trees!
Look from the peaks and you will see!
A paradise, on the ocean blue!
Kongo Bongo Welcomes You!
(Spoken during instrumental break)
Phoenix: Seriously, where are these instruments coming from?
Maya: Who cares? Just have fun! This jam is funky!
Funky: That’s my name, don’t wear it out!
Phoenix: What?
Funky: Surf’s up my dudes, wanna ride some waves?
Diddy: Or hop in a minecart, and explore some caves?
DK: There’s so much more, so, why don’t you stay for a while, on our isle!
DK: Our new hotel is worth five stars!
Dixie: Your rooms have such a nice view!
Cranky: We’ve got a bar for you to drink!
Phoenix (Spoken): Sure, I’ll take a Mai Tai
Candy: So come and play down by the bay!
DK: Life here is so swell, as I’m sure you already see!
ALL KONGS: So won’t you feel the seaside breeze?
Or get a sun tan, if you please!
You’ll love it here that much is true!
Kongo Bongo Welcomes You!
(Spoken during instrumental break and solos)
DK: Come on Cranky, take it to the fridge!
Phoenix: What does that even mean?
Cranky: Watch and learn, youngin!
(Sax solo)
(Spoken right before song resumes)
Maya: That ape sure can play a saxophone!
ALL KONGS: So take a swing from the jungle trees!
Look from the peaks and you will see!
A paradise, on the ocean blue!
Kongo Bongo Welcomes You!
ALL KONGS: So won’t you feel the seaside breeze?
Or get a sun tan, if you please!
You’ll love it here that much is true!
Kongo Bongo Welcomes You!
