A/N: Mark Knopfler's song "Boom, Like That" has always reminded me of the Kremlings due to the spelling stuff, but it wasn't until I read the history behind the song that I found my inspiration for converting it fully (with a modified title coming from a type of Kritter enemy for good measure). The original song is about Ray Kroc seeing the potential in the McDonald brothers' fast food joint, helping them build it into a franchise, buying it from them when their aspirations weren't as high as his, and then even forcing their original restaurant out of business when they tried to continue on independently. From this, I came up with the idea of King K. Rool trying to take over DK Isle for its raw resources – thanks to the Kongs, he had much less success than Ray Kroc, but they're both pretty cutthroat so it seems like a natural fit. Great song, great story, and hopefully this version is good too!

Kaboom, Like That

I'm going to DK Isle, ring-a-ding-ding
Cannonfire, that's my thing now
Riches, ore and other such stuff
And I gotta see a good thing sure enough now

Or my name's not Kroc, that's Kroc with a "K"
Like "crocodile" but not spelt that way now
It's Kong eat Kong, rat eat rat
Kroc-style, "Boom", like that

Apes beat down all my Kremlings
Now I'm seeing Donkey devour his fruit now
And then I feel it, "Wham", as clear as day
My pulse begins to hammer and I hear my voice say

Come boys, we got this down
Outta run out all of these-a monkeys from town
Come boys, I got the touch
He just beat me once with his beginner's luck
"Wham", "Bam", won't take long
Shake, fry, flatten – they're gone
And everyone'll know my fearsome name
Heck, I don't even need to keep it the same

Or my name's not Kroc, that's Kroc with a "K"
Like "crocodile" but not spelt that way now
Oh, it's Kong eat Kong, rat eat rat
Kong eat Kong, rat eat rat
Oh, it's Kong eat Kong, rat eat rat
Kroc-style, "Boom", like that

This pirate king ought to expand
We're gonna want some pristine lands now
So Kremling Krew, keep following me
We'll make a little reptile history now

Or my name's not Kroc, call me "Rool"
Like "crocodile", but much more cruel now
It's Kong eat Kong, rat eat rat
Kroc-style, "Boom", like that

Well, we're sailing up and we're jumping out
But man they make us grind it out now
We conquer all the areas we see
But they do too, and then come for me

I got the crown, I need the town
They beat me in the end and the ship sinks down
Sometimes you gotta reinvent yourself
You wanna take your dreams down off of the shelf
Resistance, don't let them wage
If they gonna fight put them all in a cage
Do not press "Start", go straight to "Save"
I smell that banana cave

Or my name's not Kroc, that's Kroc with a "K"
Like "crocodile" but not spelt that way now
Oh, it's Kong eat Kong, rat eat rat
Kong eat Kong, rat eat rat
Oh, it's Kong eat Kong, rat eat rat
Kroc-style, "Boom", like that
