I don't think this guy understands how big of a part hes played in my life. He music and sound effect will forever been embedded into my brain. B&K was the first video game i played as a child and still to this day I think about it so much. Thank you so very much Grant, from the bottom of my heart.
まっとPSO2 まっとPSO2 Exactly my thoughts, except it wasn't my first game but my second or third one. I love this game and it's music so much and I will always remember it. To most people these are little cute and catchy songs, but to me they are much more. They are masterpieces and ooze with creativity and happiness. Thank you for the music Grant Kirkhope.
Artzie Music Same, I can't get through the whole thing without tearing up! At least I feel a little less insane about it now knowing that it's not just me.
Artzie Music I just heard the first second of this jingle and started crying again as if I had my cartridge for the first time so many years ago... I still can't gold my tears back each time I see this video.
You know, I originally was happy just to have another Banjo-esque game, but after seeing the overwhelming response I feel even more happy knowing that we for once can really show our appreciation and give back to the Playtonic team.
Even though I didn't grow up w/ Banjo Kazooie, I cried tears of joy, as I know how much this means to the people who did. I grew up w/ DK64. This isn't too far from home. :')
No, we don’t just love Grant Kirkhope because he wrote the soundtrack to our youth. We love for all the little things like this too. Thanks for putting a smile on our faces!
Flashback to christmas in 2001, when i got my banjo kazooie game...i skipped church that christmas because i wanted to play Banjo Kazooie...freakin tears man! This is gonna be so awesome
I first played Banjo Kazooie way back when I was about a 5 year old kid in 1998. I've been in love with the game and your music ever since! I'm proud to help fund Yooka-Laylee and very excited to hear more of your music!
Such an underrated composer! I love David Wise for what he has done with DKC but I'll never forget this guy as well!!! I just wanted to thank you for all the amazing themes you've made and I'm happy you'll be back for Yooka-Laylee :)
ClefairyRox Spiral Mountain from Banjo Kazooie. Easily the most iconic tune from the game. Knowing the song beforehand makes you grin 5x as hard watching this, fact.
I thought Platformers were dead, i thought my childhood was dead.. i'm 21 years old and I can confirm this makes me cry with the same intensity as my former 12 years old kid played the living hell out of these games, Rare might be dead, but the heart is right here folks, making our childhood reborn. Playtonic are those guys like us, that have aged waiting for something like this to happen.. but they are the ones that are making it real. *¨Goes back to cry of happiness* (Sorry if my english sucks, but anyway)
DeMat I'm gonna laugh if Microsoft is like "oh hey banjo Kazooie is popular again?" and then they make a banjo threeie and f*** it up HORRIBLY and just look terrible compared to these SEVEN dudes making a game for fun >_>
***** I get that, and the most relevant to us is in USD, so it's a milestone to us. Let's face it, 1 Million dollars is still 1 Million dollars to anybody.
***** In terms of a consumer, if I see 1 million is funded into a product that I want, I think that I'd matter. Not to mention backing it up, 1 million is a milestone for people like me to see.
For some reason this theme always felt like both a welcome and a goodbye, an intro and a closing song. Well, all the more meaning to both, here. :') Thank you so much for all the new possibilities.
Subal Andruszko That I get. I'm not THAT stupid. He said "Played with a Ukelele from Yooka-Laylee" again he said "Ukelele FROM Yooka-Laylee" my question was "How is that a Ukelele from Yooka-Laylee" Because he said that Grant's Ukelele is from Yooka-Laylee.
Hey Grant, I'm not sure if you know me (It's been ages since I last went to rare) but I'm Gregg Mayles' Nephew, James Robert Bakewell. I was testing Banjo N&B a while ago and I thought that I would just say hi!
You are my all time favorite composer and your tunes have always brightened my days and your soundtracks are in some of my favorite games of all time. I hope you will still be able to make amazing songs that we will enjoy.Your a great person Grant thank you for great memories.
Not afraid to admit that I shed a tear or two of joy part way through that song. You've brought lifetimes of joy and happiness to millions with your work. Thank you Grant and Playtonic Games for going back to your roots and working on this project. You're bringing that same joy back again and we can't thank you enough. We'll support you evermore! :)
Grant not only are you a musical genius and one of my very favorite composers! No matter what u do u always cheer me up! This video had me smiling and tearing up like a damn fool haha! Love it!

My man. You have no idea how big an influence you were in my life. You created the music for Banjo Kazooie, 007, DK 64 and other games I've played growing up. Thank you for your work on Banjo Kazooie, it's very much appreciated, even today.
Amazing as ever, Grant. Your music in the Banjo-Kazooie series inspired me to become a musician when I was younger. Now I'm 26 and I've even done some remixes of your music, such as Gruntilda's Lair which is one of my favorites.
The best thing ever!!! This music is a very sizable chunk of my childhood. Keep on keepin' on Mr. Kirkhope, your music has touched more people than you'll ever realize :)
Best cover ever. The composer should hear this!
FamilyJules7X This guy is the composer though?
I see what you did there :P
A wild FJ7X appeared!
*Throws master ball
FamilyJules7X Oh you funny guy. ^_^

This is the best thing ever.
I think I almost jizzed myself.
JonTronShow are you going to voice act in yooka-laylee?

Ech!!!
Yes it is
Damn straight
This video makes me happy
***** Where's the video? :O
Darth Dio You do realize it takes time to make a video right?
***** Not to GameXplain - we're used to get a video from them half an hour after the actual news/video. ;)
***** Rendering now =)
VincentGuillotine What the hell
Who needs an orchestral soundtrack when we have Grant Kirkhope in a pool chair with a kazoo and ukulele?
I feel like this should have been the climactic video released when the kickstarter hit 1 million (which it has!) :D
how'd you enjoy the game chad
THIS SONG AND THE BIRDS IN THE BACKGROUND. I DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN
R.I.P.
Haedox You're becoming like PressFartToContinue except not shit.

Grant, you are a wonderful man.
Christ, EVERYONE'S here.
*whispers in ear*
Are you gonna do a Yooka Laylee LP in October 2016?
Scykoh Why are all the youtubers I watch viewing this video?! O-o you and Yuriofwind both have been here >_>
Guess you have to do 2 more "Banjo" games after Tooie, eh?
Scykoh Oh hai Scykoh!
Scykoh he is not a man he a Demi god
That was really freakin' clever.
Really Freakin' Clever there are a few things wrong with it, don't you think...?
The puns are real
Really Freakin' Clever You have to stop that.

Well dang, I didn’t expect you to be here
Without context this looks like Grant has finally lost it
Rob Starling i can't unsee this now
This will become a gif now
Rob Starling Ah, great idea.
Rob Starling I can't watch this video without laughing my ass off now.
Rob Starling I didn't know Grant was ever sane.
I don't think this guy understands how big of a part hes played in my life. He music and sound effect will forever been embedded into my brain. B&K was the first video game i played as a child and still to this day I think about it so much. Thank you so very much Grant, from the bottom of my heart.
Banjo-Kazooie was my 2nd game I ever played. I've loved it ever since. My first was actually Diddy Kong Racing.

You know, I originally was happy just to have another Banjo-esque game, but after seeing the overwhelming response I feel even more happy knowing that we for once can really show our appreciation and give back to the Playtonic team.
grant, you're my spirit animal.
Even though I didn't grow up w/ Banjo Kazooie, I cried tears of joy, as I know how much this means to the people who did.
I grew up w/ DK64. This isn't too far from home. :')
Yes, Banjo and Grant are in smash now! Congrats to both :)
"Yes, we're all in tune? Marvelous."
Grant you're a magnificent man thank you for being such a great inspiration.
Everything I ever wanted
No, we don’t just love Grant Kirkhope because he wrote the soundtrack to our youth. We love for all the little things like this too. Thanks for putting a smile on our faces!
"Give generously!"
HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE HALF OF IT
The moment he started playing, I froze and went back into my childhood, thank you Mr. Kirkhope.
This is the best rendition of Spiral Mountain I have ever heard.
Plastiware your damn right
Holy crap.
I just realised that Yooka-Laylee is just "Ukelele" written differently.
...I need help.
Keeseman oh god. me too!
***** Woah, even Kyle is commenting here, wtf is so special about this vid ?
protonruffy12 Don't you mean "wtf *isn't* so special about this vid?"
MaximumKOF Nah... im serious.. I dont get whats supposed to be so special about that vid 0_o
protonruffy12 Besides Grant Kirkhope, the composer of Banjo-Kazooie, playing Banjo-Kazooie music to hype up the spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie?
Flashback to christmas in 2001, when i got my banjo kazooie game...i skipped church that christmas because i wanted to play Banjo Kazooie...freakin tears man!
This is gonna be so awesome
I have never been so happy to see such a thing.
Wow. The fact that so many famous youtubers commented here shows how popular and awesome this is. Yooka Laylee for life.
How perfect! I'm glad Yooka-Laylee has been doing as well as it has so far!
can you rap the dk64 rap next
Actually no. It'd get content id matched and taken down.
The Zigzagman Even though he wrote it?
The Zigzagman It really wouldn't if it's just a cover.

Damn, coming back after these years, and it still brings a tear to my eye. Thank you, Grant, for all you have done!

LetsPlaySagaraStyle Oh how i've missed you old friend.
***** Mountains can't be friends.
DementisXYZ They trick you into thinking you're friends, but then you realize that they have hearts made of stone.
DementisXYZ I wanna see JonTron's reaction to all this Yooka-Laylee stuff :O
baseballrunner76 Check out his twitter then. Where you'll also find that playtonic games invited him to voice a character.
I first played Banjo Kazooie way back when I was about a 5 year old kid in 1998. I've been in love with the game and your music ever since! I'm proud to help fund Yooka-Laylee and very excited to hear more of your music!
I love how you're getting more hyped about this whole thing than alot of fans. It's so great.
As always, our good ol' Grant Kirkhope has never lost his touch... Cheers, Grant, and as always, keep up the great work!
Such an underrated composer!
I love David Wise for what he has done with DKC but I'll never forget this guy as well!!!
I just wanted to thank you for all the amazing themes you've made and I'm happy you'll be back for Yooka-Laylee :)
Best thing is that both Grant Kirkhope and David Wise are composing Yooka Laylee's soundtrack. This game really is a rare-vival.
+TheDevious I know, it will be awesome!
GRANT STOP MY HEART CAN ONLY HANDLE SO MUCH
***** Is that Roy with a mustache.
***** Correct
***** Fabulous.
Nostalgia... OVERLOAD!!!!! *head explodes*
*IT'S A BANJO. AND A KAZOO. PLAYING BANJO KAZOOIE MUSIC!!* Grant, we love ya
Chiibe *Ukulele. still awesome.
*shush pretend it's a banjo*
Chiibe Er... not a banjo.
Chiibe ...
Senpai...? o-o
Not Banjo-Kazooie. Not a banjo either. It's a ukelele playing Yooka-Laylee music. The kazoo is extra, but the pun is still real.
This is perfect. So many feels from looking back on the past of Banjo-Kazooie, so many feels from thinking about the future and Yooka-Laylee :')
Oh my god. This made me grin from ear to ear. I don't even know the song but it was awesome of Grant to do this. Yippee!
ClefairyRox Spiral Mountain from Banjo Kazooie. Easily the most iconic tune from the game. Knowing the song beforehand makes you grin 5x as hard watching this, fact.
Nidna Ah. I have never played Banjo-Kazooie, though I really want to. I'm a huge fan of DK64.
PLAY IT NOW
Grant? Just by playing that one tune, you sir have touched the hearts of thousands of gamers. Hats off to you.
I thought Platformers were dead, i thought my childhood was dead..
i'm 21 years old and I can confirm this makes me cry with the same intensity as my former 12 years old kid played the living hell out of these games,
Rare might be dead, but the heart is right here folks, making our childhood reborn.
Playtonic are those guys like us, that have aged waiting for something like this to happen.. but they are the ones that are making it real.
*¨Goes back to cry of happiness* (Sorry if my english sucks, but anyway)
Farlan H.B Even though you said your English sucks you said "anyway" correctly lol. Most English speakers type it "anyways" which is wrong.
WOW! I haven't heard a tune that made me feel this good.
Digital JCW. me too
If only he had a banjo, he would literally be playing banjo kazooie.
but this way, he's hoboring both the old and the new
The Idiot Named Joe One dude made a Ukelenozoo, it was a ukelele, piano kazoo all in one. It was amazing! We need to make a BanjoKazooie
Paradi-Len YESSS
Wouldn't wanna be Phil Specter right now.
DeMat Would you wanna be Phil Sphincter instead?
DeMat It shouldn't matter, isn't the game coming to Microsoft's Xbox, too? Or it isn't? Because if it isn't.. it'd be like A TAKE THAT, BITCHES
DisneyandMoviesinHD It is! But Microsoft ain't gettin' any of that money.
They could instead be making Banjo Threeie and gettin all this cash.
DeMat I'm gonna laugh if Microsoft is like "oh hey banjo Kazooie is popular again?" and then they make a banjo threeie and f*** it up HORRIBLY and just look terrible compared to these SEVEN dudes making a game for fun >_>
***** No, they sell the IP's to Playtonic who become more successful than Microsofts division >:D
Yooka-Laylee has just reached over 1 million dollars!!
SprDrumio64 I think the point is that Playtonic Games are based in the UK, so sterling is the currency that will be most relevant to them.
***** weakest argument you could pull up. 10/10
*****
I get that, and the most relevant to us is in USD, so it's a milestone to us. Let's face it, 1 Million dollars is still 1 Million dollars to anybody.
*****
In terms of a consumer, if I see 1 million is funded into a product that I want, I think that I'd matter. Not to mention backing it up, 1 million is a milestone for people like me to see.
by their standards yes.
For some reason this theme always felt like both a welcome and a goodbye, an intro and a closing song. Well, all the more meaning to both, here. :') Thank you so much for all the new possibilities.
You along with David wise are amazing and have influenced countless people to innovate in music. You are an inspiration
I immediately felt sleepy/at ease as soon as Grant played the first note. Man.
And here we see the majestic Grant Kirkhope performing its beautiful mating call by the waterside, hoping to attract great games.
I have the biggest, dopiest, most stupid grin on my face thanks to you! Smiling from ear to ear; loved Banjo-Kazooie as a kid. This is great!
Grant is my inspiration to become a composer, changed my life.
The sunglasses make this even better than it already is.
0:58 - 1:08 is such a great movement of chords. You sir, are a genius. Cannot wait for the yookalaylee soundtrack!
Seems like a Inception : Banjo-Kazooie's Spiral Mountain theme played with a Ukulele from Yooka-Laylee by Grant Kirkhope himself !
Loved it ;)
Julien Gonin And a kazoo. Don't ever forget the kazoo
DeMat You're right !
Julien Gonin How is that a Ukelele from Yooka-Laylee?
***** say ukulele, then say yooka-laylee, if you didnt made a mistake, it sounded the same
Subal Andruszko
That I get. I'm not THAT stupid. He said "Played with a Ukelele from Yooka-Laylee" again he said "Ukelele FROM Yooka-Laylee" my question was "How is that a Ukelele from Yooka-Laylee" Because he said that Grant's Ukelele is from Yooka-Laylee.
And then I hear Spiral Mountain. Instant subscription.
Hey Grant, I'm not sure if you know me (It's been ages since I last went to rare) but I'm Gregg Mayles' Nephew, James Robert Bakewell. I was testing Banjo N&B a while ago and I thought that I would just say hi!
Can't wait to play Yooka-Laylee! :D
I’m ganna cry I miss banjo and kazzioe so much
:´D SO HAPPY... A remake of this needs to be in Yooka-Laylee
So many popular RUclipsrs commenting on this video.
Oh man, this made my day. Here's to Yooka-Laylee reviving the duo platformer genre!
Do I have to comment here too?
Aurum Yes. I think it's mandatory now. Not entirely sure, but I *think* this might be a cult.... I'm frightened.

I didn't know this was what my life was missing. Until now.
Not afraid to admit that I shed a tear or two of joy part way through that song. You've brought lifetimes of joy and happiness to millions with your work. Thank you Grant and Playtonic Games for going back to your roots and working on this project. You're bringing that same joy back again and we can't thank you enough. We'll support you evermore! :)
This needs to be a secret soundtrack in the game. Like waiting in a certain area or menu for a certain amount of time...
Love it! It's cool seeing the composer play the music he wrote, and the music that we all know and love :). Here's to project Yooka-Laylee!!!
Thaaaaank youuuu (in the voice of a gravestone)

Amazing as ever, Grant. Your music in the Banjo-Kazooie series inspired me to become a musician when I was younger. Now I'm 26 and I've even done some remixes of your music, such as Gruntilda's Lair which is one of my favorites.

So many celebrities here...
I can't believe it's been 5 years since this video came out and I watched it time goes by too fast.
I didnt notice that Yooka-Laylee was the same as ukulele untill I said it quickly
Almost two years later and I still can't help but smile. This man is awesome!
Aww Spiral Mountain, good to see you old friend...
Mountains can’t be friends
Or can they?
