that seems kinda racist.
blame Tarzan, that was the first assosciation of bongo drums with the Jungle
That or Civilization by Danny Kaye and The Andrews Sisters.
I love that song though
Yeah, but it's still a bop. Soken usually sticks to the tropes, but after fighting things like fairy kings and bug dudes to very... unique boss themes, I think he gets a pass.
(I wonder if it was scored to be a "America" style theme. Would make more sense, lol)
I think he might have watched The Emperor's New Groove.
I did feel like the main theme that plays during certain montages had a bit of a 90s feel to it. Probably the use of a choir. Lol
When I try to think of stereotypical "American" music, it's always either this, Trace Adkins, or Earl Scruggs. Soken made the right choice with Bones Malone and The Spooky Boys.
Oof, can you imagine a Trace Adkins style town theme. I can stand that of it music, haha.
Then again, you know Soken must have at least thought about it for the Western areas, complete with Koji Fox doing a fake twangy accent singing about booze, his ride, and those cow analogue things you can ride.
