How do I get Kapp'n to stop serenading me?

So when I first unlocked Tortimer's Island and took the first trip with Kapp'n, he asked me whether or not I wanted him to sing a song on the way or not. Seeing as it was my first trip, and I was heading to the Island with some friends, I figured why not have some entertainment.

This has now become somewhat of an annoyance. Sometimes I just want to get to the island quickly to do some fishing or bug catching, and I want to do it as quickly as possible so I can get back before shops close and pay off some of my loan. Is there any way I can get Kapp'n to stop singing each time we set sail?

Solution 1:

After trying out some random button mashing out of frustration and doing some research to confirm my findings, there is a way to skip the songs and go straight to or from the island.

Once he starts singing, you can either press A or B repeatedly (I tested and both buttons work, not just B, as many sites report), or rapidly tap on the touchscreen and he'll stop singing.

He'll also guilt you a little about skipping his song, but that has no effect on gameplay.
