First appearance Donkey Kong Country – "Bad Hair Day" (1996)

The "Donkey Kong Country Theme,"[1] also known as the "Donkey Kong Country opening theme song,"[1] is the theme song for the Donkey Kong Country television series that plays during the show's opening. The lyrics and melody of the theme song were written by Pure West.[2] There is also a shorter instrumental version used in the end credits.

The Japanese version of the show uses two other theme songs instead: "Ashita ni Nattara..." as the opening theme and "Banana Tengoku" as the ending theme.
