Beast was nervous. Then again, so would anyone else who had to sing a musical number from Donkey Kong's cartoon show.
He peeked out the the stage, and noticed (Much to his relief), that the big ape was absent.
Yang walked up to him, "Good luck man. I hear that Foodfight! Would have gotten the composers if they ran out of crappier music."
Hank gulped, "Well… It can't be any worse than that-"
"By the way, Hankie," Deadpool interjected, "I took the liberty of hitting the randomizer button, You won't be singing the opening theme."
"Murphy's Law is only a theory. Murphy's Law is only a theory. Murphy's Law is only a theory." Hank repeated to himself, in a vain attempt to try and calm his nerves.
"It's… That love song. Our Love is Stronger Than a Golden Banana." Tifa confirmed. "And I thought the song I sang with Yang was fodder for us being shipped. This might start a Beast slash DK one."
Hank sighed, "It's not a theory…" He lamented.
When I see a smile on your hairy face
I know there's no other ape that could take your place
Hank was visibly uncomfortable. If there was a telepath, they would be aware that he would rather stare down a small army of Sentinels than be doing this.
I can't believe you feel the way that you do
Your love is like a dream come true
You are the sunlight warmin' up my day
Take my hand and everything's OK
It was rather clear that most of the audience was uncomfortable too. Hawkeye had even taken out his hearing aides so he could drown out the uncomfortable song.
Unfortunately, Astro Boy couldn't exactly turn off his hearing.
I see bananas when I look in your eyes
I'd shower you with coconut cream pies
A love like ours don't grow on trees
Our love is like a summer breeze
Some of the combatants were herding out the children of the group. Aware that these songs scared people for life. The adults had enough scars, one more wasn't going to hurt at all… Hopefully.
Can't you see we're meant to be?
Our love is stronger than a Golden Banana
Our love is stronger than a Golden Banana
Stronger than a Golden Banana
Many patrons were left feeling… Violated. Even Dante was uncomfortable. He had planned for Hank to sing the opening theme, not this thing.
Many of the contestants backstage felt the need to leave and continue the debate elsewhere.
"So…" Yang started.
"... Yeah. Nobody seems to be commenting." Chief finished.
"Whatever. I'd rather look at the hate comments for Bowser's fight with Ganon than listen to a song from that show." Tifa shuddered.
"Well, from what I see, most of them are complaining about how Ganon's 'curse'," Yang made sure she placed air quotes around the word, "Shouldn't have acted as fast."
"Wait, seriously?" Iron Man asked, "I figured that spell he used near the start was the curse."
"Y'know… I just realized that." Steve realized.
Wolverine also came to a realization, "He must've kept fighting in hand-to-hand so that the turtle-dragon's immune system would have to work overtime-" he smacked his head, "I can't believe I didn't see this before."
"Bowser had to be put back together by his kid in that game. He really was dead." Donatello said.
"Wow…" Leonardo trailed off.
"I guess it wasn't his day or something." Michelangelo offered.
"They still should have left it at 'Superior magic and intellect' though." Yang snarked.
"Oh yeah. Totally agree on that."
Up next, sigh…
It's MY time in the spotlight! Hey, I decorated the disclaimer again.
Really?
Well, I put a lightbulb on it.
… Well… At least it's environmentally-friendly.
See? Look for the positives.
