Off-Topic Tuesday: "King of Kong" by TV's Kyle

The third Off-Topic Tuesday song for Donkey Kong Month is "King of Kong" by TV's Kyle from his 2010 album (appropriately enough), Pocketful of Quarters, and featuring Devo Spice on a rap verse. "Pocketful of quarters" is also a line of the chorus. Although the song shares the name of a Donkey Kong high score "documentary", it is unrelated to any of that. You can both listen and buy it at tvskyle.bandcamp.com.

But wait, there's more! Kyle also released an acoustic version on his album Ray Fillet in 2011, which also features the Devo Spice rap verse. It's also available on Bandcamp.

And finally -- or, actually, firstly -- Kyle originally released the song on the FuMP Sideshow in 2008 without Devo Spice's rap verse. That version, sadly, is no longer available anywhere that I'm aware of. (Outside my various personal devices.)
