The Wonky Donkey is a 2009 children's book by New Zealander Craig Smith. [1] It is illustrated by British-born Katz Cowley, who has a degree in Illustration from the University of Northumbria. [2] The book is based upon a song that Smith wrote in 2005 after hearing the joke: "What do you call a donkey with three legs? – A wonky donkey".
The song took five weeks to compose and Wise used a Korg Wavestation. [1] He said the track was his favourite and the game's biggest technical accomplishment in regards to the audio. [4] Rearrangements of "Aquatic Ambience" appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns (2010) and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (2014). [5] [6]
After being made redundant, O'Brien decided to pursue a career writing and performing children's music, using the stage name Mr Yipadee.

In 1995, he composed the music for The Ant & Dec Show on Children's BBC, and later worked on their SMTV Live programme, for which he wrote the 'Wonky Donkey' jingle, among other themes. He continued to work extensively as a jingle writer for their ITV show Saturday Night Takeaway .
Wonky is a subgenre of electronic dance music known primarily for its off-kilter or "unstable" beats, as well as its eclectic, colorful blend of genres including hip-hop, electro-funk, 8-bit, jazz fusion, glitch, and crunk. [1] [2] Artists associated with the style include Joker, Rustie, Hudson Mohawke, Zomby, and Flying Lotus.
The phone-in game "Wonkey Donkey" first appeared on SMTV Live from 1998. Also see: The Return Of Wonkey Donkey on Saturday Night Takeaway (2015): here. I am surprised there is no mention of this in the article, given that it pre-dated Smith's song and book by many years. 205.239.40.3 16:56, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
