The Super Mario Bros. Movie will feature the best song about Donkey Kong

He’s the leader of the bunch, you know him well.

It turns out the best song from Mario’s history, the Donkey Kong rap, will be in the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie.

In a brief bit of promo for the film, Rogen was shown listening to it where he noted that “this is how my character comes out in the movie, to the Donkey Kong rap.” He goes on to say “this is objectively one of the worst rap songs of all time,” but coming from the man behind Sausage Party, I think we can leave his opinion at the door.

Original composer Grant Kirkhope seems pretty chuffed at the inclusion of his track in the film, writing on his own Twitter, “If you’d told me in ‘97, when I wrote the worst rap track in the history of rap tracks, that it would go on to be in a Mario Bros movie I’d would’ve burst with excitement! Long live the DK Rap!”

Chris Pratt, the controversial voice of Mario in the film, recently defended his own casting in the film , promising that the “movie really honours the video game,” and “the world of mario.”
