Animal Crossing: New Horizons features music in many different forms, with one of the most unique being the sea shanties sung by a turtle named Kapp'n.

His shanties contain entertaining, often heartfelt lyrics.
Kapp'n has been around since the very first Animal Crossing title, and many long-time fans were excited for him to finally make an appearance in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

In Animal Crossing for the Gamecube, Kapp'n will sing to the player while he ferries them to the special island on the Game Boy Advance, and while his character does not make another boat appearance until Animal Crossing: New Leaf, he will also serenade the player on the bus in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
