Donkey Kong Country - Aquatic Ambience Acapella 

It's 'Aquapella!'

why the fuck does this sound so beautiful!!?

When vikings get tired of fighting, they start singing

There is nothing more beautiful or surreal than monkeys swimming underwater collecting bananas to this music.

The best version

Just wanted to let you know that our baby boy listens to your awesome acapella almost every night. It's one of the few things that gets him to go to sleep! He loves it! He's been listening to you since he was only a month old and is now almost 10 months. He is your tiniest fan! And he really likes it when he can see Charl.

I listen to this video about 2 or 3 times per month as background music while I'm at work, and every time I scroll down to "like" the video only to be disappointed because I already liked it over a year ago. I wish I could like it more often :(

2021. Still the best version of this song. Thank you for the feels.

Has anyone else noticed how those retro games and modern games have AMAZING tracks when in an underwater world....?

With headphones, it's like heaven lol

this is one of my daughter's lullabies before bed. Thanks for helping me getting her to sleep.

So beautiful !

I love how this one barely sounds like it's acapella and sounds more like Ambiance.

This is my favorite Smooth Mcgroove video by far, brings back so many memories...

I still love those old snes soundtracks and you're acapella versions are so freaking awesome! Keep up that nice work man! :)

Whoaaaa....this surpasses ANY remixes...ANY re-imaginings....ANY covers...and it's ALL WITH HIS VOICE!!! Unreal. I think I just had an eargasm!!!! xD

Im drunk, randomly found this and nostalgia hit me smack hard in the face. swallowed it and all.

i spent hours playing games with my mom, God how i miss her. RIP Mom i love you :'(

More DKC plx

This guys voice is practically a vibrator for your ears

When I heard Mr. Iwata passed away, I had to listen to this. I imagine wherever he is, this song is playing as he rides along that marlin into the great beyond... :(

Smooth, my man... Cannot express how much I enjoy this. *So Many Feels*

holy.... just. I'm speechless. I genuinely am.

It just never gets old. Never. One of the masterpieces on youtube.

I did not think it was even possible for a human to recreate one of the most soothing and awesome Water Themes ever created...and you did it Acapella. SUBSCRIBED!!!

So good. I haven't even played this, still liked it. Woah.

This sooo could easily be turned into the most epic Trance song... great note progressions. Nintendo games from the 90s.. best music ever.. pure genius.

もう…凄いとしか言いようがない。 素晴らしい！ 感動！！！！ 最高！！！！

This feels more atmospheric than the actual song.

I'm curious about the way you made the sound at 1:22 Sounds too perfect.

Donkey Kong games for SNES happen to be among some of my favorite games of all time. The catchy and amazing musical arrangements were always so awesome and were what had me coming back grueling death after grueling death until I finally beat the level. It's amazing to see this particular arrangement duplicated with nothing but the human voice. That's talent. For some reason I always get nostalgic on the oil.

come here every morning

it is so beautiful

I still have no freaking Idea how you imitated that harp sound 2:39 this whole thing and your channel is just masterful.

Can I just say I love the dissonance at 0:14?

This acapella is honestly beautiful. It literally made me cry the first time I heard it, and I still did now.

This is just perfect cover.. I am in disbelief! How can one human being do something as remarkable as this? I can't even....

Okay, seriously... how did I miss this one?!?! I could've sworn I've seen all of these vids, and suddenly stumbled upon this when searching for "Aquatic Ambience"! Lovely work!

He misses his dad :'(

Put my phone in my pocket and this played by mistake and I thought it was the actual donkey kong country song and just cried tears of beauty.

FUCK YEAH! YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE NEW AQUATIC AMBIENCE THAT DAVID WISE MADE FOR TROPICAL FREEZE! DAVID FUCKIN' WISE IS BACK!

I can't stop listening to this one. Personally, this has been the best of his videos. Hands down. I remember just pausing the game and letting the music play because it was soooooo good.

DK- (Drops jaw.) Dude, this is amazing, you sound just like the track. DIddy- I'm even lost for words, you should make money on this. You sound awesome.

曲のチョイスが最高です！！私のやってた好きなゲームばっかりです！！

Once I heard the original melody as a child I always wanted to head for the swimming hall.. And I still do. Great work you've done with this one I have to admit!

anyone notice that in the top middle one he moves his eyebrows with the pitch of the notes? xD

Seriously the best video game song ever made, so glad you made this one. Pretty awesome considering the complexity of the song. The bubble sounds make me chuckle everytime! Please, Please, Please...You should do the last boss battle song too!!!!

Seriously incredible that all these layers of atmospheric sound are all just from one guy's voice. Smooth McGroove is the 8th wonder of the world.

IMO, this is your best work. This song is so unconventional that you probably used every vocal skill you have to make it work. It's pretty incredible.

omg such epic hair and beard. we are not worthy!

*single tear* Goddamnit...

I'm stunned that this video has any dislikes. This is a truly masterful rendition of arguably one of the greatest old school gaming tracks. The accuracy with which he pulls off the sounds in this video is mind blowing. Love it.

Wonderful taste in music.

this man is awesome the vocal cover is realy accurate

Everything is now right in the world. I can die a happy man having seen this.

damn...it's been 10 years huh? man we sure have come a LONG way such a great idea for a channel, still going strong to this day keep being awesome Smooth Mcgroove

Is it legal to do this to my ears?

Dude this sounds like the original track...you're amazing!

Need to to do Stickerbrush Symphony!

Dunno why this popped up in my feed 10 years later but I sure was happy to see it. I have more of an appreciation for this classic tune now than I did then.

This is yet another excellent video, Smooth! This one made me nostalgic for this game, lol.

I actually rarely post on videos but this is so amazing that I couldn't help myself. It's so incredibly accurate to the original track. I just wanted to let you know how fantastic you are at this. Please please please don't stop making these!

You should do Gangplank Galleon, that would be fantastic.

This is just bonkers how you created this. Sounds even more ethereal & atmospheric then the original. This must've taken a tremendous amount of work, great job

Chills. Wonderful memories.

Can someone just make a video game with a Smooth McGroove only soundtrack?

I got those amazing music chills

0:02 I like what he does with his eyebrows in the left under angle 😂

This guy has a great voice do not ruin it ps: you should sell albuns

I love the rich deep voices the Smooth gifts us.

You are extremely talented. I wish you the best and hope you keep making such amazing musical interpretations and live a wonderful life because of it.

Jesus Christ....everytime i listen to this i get goosebumps...thanks a lot for your work!

1. You could do the entire donkey kong soundtrack. Would be great to listen to this while programming. 2. How long does it take to get a beard like this? :D

tears almost fell from my eyes :)... keep rockin'...

You should clone yourself and go on tour. Beautiful :'D

素晴らしすぎる(^^) うっとりしていつまでも聴いていたいです✨

Holy goosebumps! I never knew you did an a capella to this! Sounds amazing as usual!

some people think this is easy but it really takes talent you're amazing at this man keep doing what you do

Your cat sure loves licking your fingers.

I’m not sure you’ll see this but I wanted to thank you for posting your amazing a capellas; I’ve been falling asleep to them for 7 years now

Wow.....

This is my fave song out of any Donkey Kong game! You did It Beautifully! Just close my eyes and imagine playing when I was a kid :) ( still do to this day lol :) )

これアカペラか、音色もそのまま綺麗ですごい！

A tribute to my childhood.

DK Country is one of my ALLTIME Faves, even in 2015 !! Same with "Dungeon Master II" from 1994 (still great to play, thanks to DOS Box...). I always fell in love with great Game Music (does anyone remember "Kikstart" from the great COMMODORE Plus 4 ??) and I take my hat off to the amazing composers. You've done an amazing job, thank you !!! One of the pretty current Soundtracks I adore is from the game "Deus Ex - Human Revolution"... JUST BRILLIANT.

You should do more donkey kong songs.

鳥肌がたつくらい感動しました、、

Nunca me canso desse vídeo

you know very well, which of the many video game music tracks are really great. Donkey Kong's aquatic ambience and Super Mario Kart's Rainbow Road (SNES Version!!!) are two of the most immersive tunes I've ever heard. Great a cappella Versions!

I still play this game XD

Once I discovered this video on RU-vid And when the instrumental from the start of the song started playing I automatically broke down in tears Wishing I could go back to my childhood and relive it all over again But I can’t what happens in your past will be and forever be history I just have to enjoy whatever life throws at me in the present Have a good day And god bless

Smooth is one of the few youtubers where their content has always been consistently good

I always hated playing under water because of this song. I would feel so out of place, anxious and weird when I was younger.

This gave me goosebumps.

Most relaxing song ever!!!

This is so awesome, i could cry q.q

epic

This song is so atmospheric to me.

2:47 I like that o noise he makes, so relaxing

duuuuude, this is fantastic!! congratulations!
