[WiglahWoo]

As a Looney Tunes stan I cannot describe enough how hard I smiled when I clicked on this and heard the Foghorn Leghorn voice. Any other person woulda given them a typical evil scientist voice, but your references Juno are genius.

[SnackPack]

I love the idea that the random chicken on an island far away from everything else is a hardcore southern

[marlinjohnson]

The thought of the chicken sounding like Foghorn makes this even more perfect

[Rudeus-rr]

Now, I say, now as a Foghorn Leghorn enthusiast, I am mighty happy that Colonel Pluck sounded just like him

[thechocochicken]

"What the peck are you gonna cock-a-doodle do" is a heck of a fun catchphrase for a chorus. It's also always fun to see boss progression in Juno lyrics, and Colonel Pluck's glorious bird references are a great way to keep up the wacky energy of the DK franchise in general. The tasteful explosions at the end definitely bring the whole cover together.
And for the memes (which Donkey Kong is also known for, obviously) - the rendition of the DK eyeballs-out-of-sockets face in the art is glorious. And - hey, isn't "monkey with a glock" a reference to that one beta where Donkey Kong had a fully modeled shotgun?

[YeOleJester]

I need to find a way to work “More lethal than a monkey with a Glock” into more sentences. Great song, love the Foghorn Leghorn impression!

I laughed so hard when Colonel Pluck started talking like Foghorn Leghorn, that was something I didn't know I needed.

[resyrum]

"I'm going down faster than a pair of country dogs in heat, "
You're too good at this songwriting thing Juno

[garbage]

God what I’d pay for more covers for Donkey Kong Returns. That hypnosis jingle has been stuck in my head for WAY too long to be considered normal.

[v-gamer]

Im loving this cover, the Colonel Pluck's southern accent is really fun, all the chicken and bird puns are silly, and its always great to get another DKC cover!

[DramaJosh]

This vid is a masterclass example on how choosing a voice/impression before writing is finished (or even started) can easily add so much more character to the lyrics beyond just a voice slapped on afterwards. Fantastic as always! 👏👏👏

Donkey Kong: who let Foghorn Leghorn into this game?
Cranky Kong: ... i owed him a favor

[anexplosion]

0:13 Not the voice I expected, but I say, I say, it's damn well fitting.

[tackey]

The line “I’m about to OSHA violate you” goes unreasonably hard…and the best part is that it’s not even that great compared to the _rest_ of the cover. Great work as always, Juno!

[gamebitz]

Long have I waited for this underrated gem to get a lyrical cover.

[ktoon]

I never thought I needed to see Foghorn Leghorn fight Donkey Kong in a pair of robot chickens legs but Juno has truly opened my eyes.

[creationarycrew]

BUCK-A-HA-HA-HAA!!
An excellent cover of everyone’s favorite poultry-guided plantain-pounding mech and master! You struck an excellent balance of memery and seriousness and the depiction of the Colonel is so perfect. I never would have thought of it in a million years. The art is stellar as per usual and the line “what the peck are you gonna cock-a-doodle-doo?!” is perhaps my favorite line of the year now.
As someone who also did a cover of this song, I know full well the effort and thought that goes into it and I can confidently say you did a fantastic job! 9/9 puzzle pieces!

[Glamurina]

"I'm about to OSHA violate you" is such a banger threat

[BlackAttack_Animations]

I can’t believe someone did a cover for donkey country returns this game is underrated
