Origin

In the Animal Crossing series, a traveling musician named K.K. Slider appears on Saturday nights. With his acoustic guitar, K.K. performs an extensive catalog of music inspired by a wide variety of genres. When K.K. completes his performance, he gives the player an instrumental "aircheck", which features different instruments and no lyrics.

Go K.K. Rider! is one of the songs K.K. could perform in the original Animal Crossing game. This particular song is styled after theme songs for tokusatsu series such as Kamen Rider. This arrangement mixes the vocal and instrumental versions of the song with an original bridge; the overall instrumentation references the theme song for the original 1971 Kamen Rider series, including the revving of a motorcycle at the very beginning.

Trivia

  • Most likely to support usage of the easter egg, these tracks cannot be accessed via the Sound Test, nor can they be played through any other means, with the exclusion of "Rockin' K.K.", which plays during Event 26: The Slow and Easy Life.
  • "K.K. Western" notably uses the same song structure as the traditional folk song, "The House of the Rising Sun", most specifically the cover version by The Animals.
  • Similarly, "Rockin' K.K." is very similar to "Johnny B. Goode", a classic rock-and-roll song written by Chuck Berry, which was notably also the inspiration for the "Hippie Battle" theme from the EarthBound games.
