Kapp'n's Song

Kapp'n's Song is a series of melodies performed by Kapp'n in and  during boat rides to and from Animal Island and Tortimer Island, respectively. During these songs, Kapp'n sings about his life and family.

In
Kapp'n's Song first appeared in, with the introduction of Animal Island. The melody Kapp'n sings in this game is unique, and was changed for international releases of. It would later reappear as a K.K. Slider song, "Marine Song 2001" (referencing 's release date).

In, the melody of Kapp'n's Song was changed to a more western-style sea shanty. This melody would become Kapp'n's leitmotif in future games. However, all songs use the same Animalese syllables despite the lyrics. In, the new melody is retained, but individual songs have their syllables changed to match the lyrics in Japanese. The old melody was introduced as "Marine Song 2001".

In the GameCube games, Kapp'n's songs have first and second verses that are randomly paired together. There are 10 first verses for male players and 10 for female players, and 10 second verses that are used regardless of the player's gender. However, in only, the eighth possible second verse only does change depending on gender. Kapp'n also has 20 possible comments for each gender in between verses.

In
In, the melody of Kapp'n's Song from is played on the radio in Kapp'n's taxi. "Marine Song 2001" is also briefly incorporated. The track is intentionally low-quality due to playing on the cab's radio, but the high quality version was featured on Animal Crossing Sound CD: Keke Choice! Mix as "Heavy Rotation - Hi-Fi Mix". Composer Kazumi Totaka explained in the accompanying magazine issue that the track was named so to keep Kapp'n's appearance as the taxi driver a surprise.

In
In, Kapp'n will whistle the same melody from on the bus. He will also occasionally whistle part of "Marine Song 2001". After about seven minutes he will whistle "Totaka's Song".

In
In, Kapp'n once again will sing the player songs, on the boat ride to Tortimer Island. A new melody is introduced for the trip to the island, and the old one is used for the trip back. Kapp'n's songs are split into two verses which are randomly paired together. There are ten "A" and "B" verses each depending on whether he is ferrying a male player, a female player, or some multiple players (making for 120 songs total, 60 each way). Like in and, each song has its own syllables correspondingly sung. Kapp'n has 20 comments between verses for each gender in singleplayer, and if there is more than one player there are different possibilities depending on the number of individuals and combination of their genders, each with 10 or 11 comments.

In addition, Kapp'n will whistle the melody of the respective song when taking the player to Club Tortimer online. The song will continue indefinitely if the player has a bad internet connection. As such, the "Go" version of the song also incorporates "Marine Song 2001" after a while, and after about three to four minutes Kapp'n will whistle "Totaka's Song" followed by the normal song in a minor key before starting over.

In only, the song can be skipped if the A button or touch screen are pressed repeatedly, although Kapp'n will express disappointment at this. Additionally, during multiplayer, the player can tell Kapp'n (or Leilani if they are heading home) that they do not want him to sing.

In the Super Smash Bros. series
Kapp'n's Song from is featured as a song in  and  in an upbeat ska remix.

Male
Oh, listen ye to mine salty shanty about the sweet lady who once liked me. She looked fair and fine with her eyes upon mine. ''Oh! Until she got ill:'' seasick from brine. - This sweet young lass, so full of spunk an' sass, over tea, she tells me I gots no class. I ain't no crummy creep who lives in trash heaps! I'm just one old sea-hun who needs some sleep. - Ye can't go wrong  with me cucumber song. Cucumber, cucumber, so green an' long! They're the best ripe an' raw or with some coleslaw. Please get me two or three that I can gnaw! - Here, take good note:  What moves old Kapp'n's boat be an iced, extra-nice cucumber float. Fetch one for me young lad you won't be left sad! Don't be slow or you know I might get mad! - Ye think ye're bad? Some kind of wrestlin' lad? Ye've got guts, but ye're nuts. Don't make me mad. With me turtle-tough shell I'll ring yer wee bell, black yer eye, make ye cry, and say farewell. - The wind, she blows, and yer boat, well, she goes. ''Whar's it end? That depends.'' Nobody knows. So do ye carp an' scream? Or pursue yer dreams? Either way, ye'll be swayed by the wind's schemes. - I've heard me share of uncanny affairs, and I, too, pulled a few pranks on a dare. But I gots hopes an' dreams of swamps and sweet streams. ''Life at sea... Yar! It be'' the life supreme. - Hey now, me boys, with yer trinkets and toys... Yar, I know Nintendo gives ye yer joys. But I ask this of ye: Can games sing like me? Mario can't croon, bro! Don't ye agree? - A wrestlin' dog a mean old tusslin' frog an unsound, muscle-bound, big boxin' hog... They're just silly old clowns. I'll take 'em all down! For I be the best sea turtle around. - Life on the sea suits a pirate like me. A footpad like you, lad, ain't so lucky. But on briny sea swells, me heart, it beats well. Through sea air, I'll float where me soul compels.

Female
Oh, listen ye to mine secret shanty about the mean lady who once hurt me. She took me old boat, and she set her afloat, just because curt I was with the ol' goat. - Oh, sweet young lass, please don't ye think me crass just because smells I does like a sea bass. Life out on the sea ain't no cakewalk you see! There's no one but the sun to comfort me. - Ye can't go wrong with me cucumber song. Cucumbers, cucumbers, they make me strong! They're the best ripe an' cold long before they gets old. They're so good no one could let them grow mold! - Here, take good note: What moves old Kapp'n's boat be an iced, extra-nice cucumber float. Honestly, though, dear mum! It hurts me poor tum to just eats cukes an' beets; that ain't so yum! - It's quite a treat for you to hear me bleat! Charge I don't, pay you  won't. Aren't I so sweet? But me heart does foretell that me poor old shell will not help this sea kelp say his farewell. - Strong the wind blows, and me boat, well, she goes. ''But to where? I don't care!'' That much I know. Clear night skies and moon- beams they fill up me dreams. Like the time that sail o' mine tore at the seams. - I must declare lass please do not despair, As you'll see, strong I be! I'll get you there! Now ol' Kapp'n I be. I row your ferry. In the past, on me mast crossbones you'd see. - ''Oh! Dainty girls with'' yer curves an' cute curls... ''Yar! I bet me songs set'' yer hearts awhirl! I'm smooth an' oh-so fair, an' quite debonair. I'd combust if I just had some more hair. - Me puppy dog he likes to play leapfrog. When we're done havin' fun we drink eggnog... We be silly old clowns who just goof around! Me an he pals we be. I love that hound. - Life on the sea can at times, lonely be, when just whales an' wee snails listen to me. But on briny sea swells me heart, it beats well. Through sea air, I'll float where me soul compels.

First verse
Male: ''Big 'rassler. That's what I'd like to be.'' But you know I loves me lady, the sea. I'm not big, but I be strong, and I gots a will likes the wind. So I says 't won't be long till I'm in the ring with all me friends! - ''Me lesson's learned. Always be nice to the girls.'' 'Cause if yer not nice to girls, girls will not be nice to you! ''So don't you pull any hair. Don't you toss 'e many bugs.'' ''Hold them doors! Hold them ha-nds! Be-e charming if you want them hugs!'' - When I was young, I wanted all the girls to love me just for me and not me good looks. I've a nice face, it be true, chiseled abs, and fancy hair. ''But I'm smart! I gots heart! I gots feelings! I gots lots to share!'' - Hey, mister bug, don't you-ou get me wrong. ''I won't be squishin' you. 'Least not in this song.'' I'm only followin' you, bug, 'cause my house is down this street. ''I won't stomp. I won't squish. Long as you stay away from me feet!'' - I wants to sail 'round the whole world with you, have some adventures, too, but me wife has other plans. If I could shrink this ol' world, puts it in me ba-ack yard, ''we could sail seven seas in 10 minutes! The world would be ours!'' - Oh, summertime, you're so summery. ''You makes me toes so hot. I ne-ed some tea!'' So gimme so-ome tea with a nice twist o-o' lime. ''I won't drink it! Can't think it! No, this tea I'm pourin' on me feet!'' - Oh, cucumber, you're not a pewcumber. ''I love you so-o much. You are me best friend.'' Though you're a bit tho-orny, we can still geta-along. ''Let's not fight! Take a bite! So-o tasty! Love you to the end!'' - When I was young, I'd call me sweetie to talk, but if her dad picked up the phone, I'd hang up. ''Sometimes her dad's kinda mean. Even now I'm scared o' him.'' But I asked for his girl's hand, so I guess he thinks I'm man enough! - I met me wife sailin' the seven seas. ''She made me weak in the knees. I knew it was love.'' Sometimes love smacks you in the face, don't always play it fair. ''Makes you so sick. So-o ick! Puts you on the plank and gives a shove!'' - ''Oh, castaways! I've known some castaways.'' Offered to help 'em out, but they said they was fine. Once you get used to that life, there just ain't no goin' back. ''It's just fun in the sun. Guess it really does seem quite divine!''

Female: The frog croaks out songs that don't make any sense. He's an old frog, so he can't hit any high notes. ''Ain't a frog that I be. Fortune smiles upon me.'' But I'll sing the frog's song, and if you can, you should sing along. - Me boat's like a steed, a steed from a story-book. Once you give her a look, you'll see what I mean. She's a proud girl, and she runs hard to get you on yer way. ''She be humble, but she'll rumble. Aye, a-storm she's a fearsome sight to be seen!'' - In tug-o'-war, the guys're showin' off. They want the girls to see how big their biceps can get. Watch 'em next time, and you'll see they don't even care who wins. ''They'll just flex all their pecs. They forget it's a contest, I bet!'' - Once had me a ship made o' cucumber. But then me cre-ew number could only be one. 'Cause when ya chew on yer ship, swabbies say you're kinda strange. They think you'll all sink, when yer hunger makes yer ship come undone! - Stayin' young's about havin' a mischievous smile. You won't grow old for a while with agleam in yer eye. ''Take me old man, fer instance. He's a wily, ornery coot.'' Laughs all day, and in a way, his ol' soul will prob'ly never die! - Me surfin' days, they be behind me now. And I'll tells ya how it ain't 'bout me toes. When a big wave hits ya hard, knocks ya offa yer board, ''well I flailed! And I wailed! Oh, I still gots water up me nose!'' - ''I wrote so hard. I stayed up all night long'' to write me girl a song, and it turned out great! I poured me heart on the page, and I rented me a stage. But her dad was so mad, said, "Ain't no way she'll stay out past eight!" - Sometimes I kiss me own reflection in me window, and sometimes me neighbors walk by! ''I'm just practicin' kissin'. It's all fer me sweetie pie.'' ''But those stares! Oh, those glares! Neighbors must think I'm such a weird guy!'' - Me wife says she don't like me goin' to sea. She says that she misses me, but I ain't so sure! When I comes home from me trips, she's eat en all o' me chips. ''All me cakes and snack packs! Guess me junk food is really just fer her?'' - I can't keep track of all me licenses, man! Seems like the government can charge me all day long! First there's me boat, then me car, then me business license, too. ''It's not fair! I don't care! An' I won't pay, if they tax this song!''

Multiplayer: Some folks ask me how to avoid seasickness. I tells 'em it's just like this: you gotta have an iron gut. ''Do yer crunches. Work yer abs. Do some sidesteps like them crabs.'' ''When ya feel abs o' steel, no more queasy! You'll stay off yer butt!'' - Yer family has to have all kinds o' folks, ''some who tell weird little jokes. (I'm talkin' 'bout Dad.)'' ''Dad jokes be strange. It be true. Dad jokes rarely make ya laugh.'' ''But Dad thinks he don't stink. He just don't know. His jokes be so bad!'' - I'll do anything to be a popular guy. But please don't ask me why I want a flowery shirt. OK, I'll tells ya the deal: when I gets behind the wheel, ''shirt like that be so rad. I'd be so cool— so cool it would hurt!'' - Me new hairstyle, it's really easy ta fix. A pair o' chopsticks, that's what I use for a comb. I'd like a perm or an afro, a mohawk or odango. But I got just one lock, so's I usually just shine up me dome! - I done me best to chart this great big ol' world. Sometimes I feel like I hurled me self in too deep. ''So I turned o'er a new leaf. No more mappin' ev'ry reef.'' ''Dock to dock, that's how I rock. I can finally gets a good night's sleep!'' - I ran a ground on a deserted isle took me a swim to waste some sweet time. As me wet shell hung to dry (see, I'm a prudish guy), ''on me butt hung a coconut. Shell fit just fine. Much better than mine!'' - Me wife came in from a rainstorm one day. I said that her hair looked just like spaghetti. ''What I meant was it looked good. I don't think she understood.'' And the storm that took form inside the house nearly destroyed me! - Ya best be sure, sneakin' up on a friend, it really be yer friend, not some random schmoe. Once I made the mistake o' not lookin' 'fore I leaped. ''I confess, 'twas a mess! From behind she looked like me pal Joe!'' - Her beauty's like sunset at ocean's end, and she's still my best friend, me wife, Leilani. As fine as she be, she's got moods just like the sea. ''Storms for days, then sun's rays. How I love her! She's the one fer me!'' - Well, life be like crossin' the ocean wide. ''We're all on this ride. Together we sail!'' ''Get ta know yer mates. Look out fer each other's fates.'' ''Do yer best! Love the quest. Life's a journey! It ain't pass or fail!''
