  • THANK YOU!!!! Now I don't have the small commercial part stuck in my head forever! XD This is AWESOME!

  • sea world needs this song back on their commercial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This song reminds me of sea world....

  • ang ganda at ang galing ng qcumba zoo. sayang di sila nagtuloy tuloy

  • a great song ang a a great video... one of thebest euro-mixed version! and for me Qcumba Zoo is one of africas greatest gift to human music history!

  • I used to put this song on repeat while out kayaking or biking, I like it's energy.

  • This song was played a lot on B96 in Chicago. It was also played at a club on the TV show 90210!

  • This video is great! So so positive. Ane the ladies are Alt and beautiful...but tell me what happened?! Did someone from the band die? ( as i mentioned on the other blog i am new to youtube..but alot of nice people on here.)

  • @VulpeLunatica Hi. Thanks for the complements (for the ladies that is :) ). Yes, the dancer passed away about 9 years ago. Tragic, but her spirit definitely lives on in this video.

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE! I think almost everyone first heard this song on the Sea World commercial! lol How can you not get up and dance to this song?! I love jamming to it in my car and getting weird looks from people lol BEST! =D

  • @drumrgrl4him09 ME HA PASADO LO MISMO!!! NO ME CANSO DE ESCUCHARLA,,...A MIX MASTER PIECE!!

  • @mrjavierange1 Yo tampoco! Esta canción es el mejor! =D

  • I used to love this track!! I still have the mixes on vinyl. Their music and social consciousness was way ahead of its time. Some of the mixes of this track are sick. What a great track!!

  • This is one of the most uplifting songs I've ever heard. Every time I heard the sea world commercial as a kid, I felt uplifted. Thank you so much for putting this on youtube and ending my long search to find it.

  • Hells, yeah - I wish they all stayed together (& the suicide never happened) because their music & originality is AMAZING - it's the kind of thing that just plunges thru your ribcage & grabs your heart, and never lets go.. AWESOME! ~=o)*

  • I Honestly didn't think it was possible for a song as heartwarming and mood-lifting as this to even receive a negative rating. This song truly is amazing, everytime I hear it, it just makes me cry because it reminds me of my father, who passed only 3 months ago. This song truly makes me love him more and more. I miss you dad, please watch over me. Thank you, Qkumba Zoo, for such an amazing song.

  • Love this sound! Too bad the group isn't still around....it's such positive stuff!

  • you all have good moves*

  • The best music for me!

  • i have ben looking for this song for 4 years love it

  • It never fails! Every time I hear this song, it lifts my mood! I can't help but get up and dance! And to find out that there are 5 new tracks that were released last year (N3x) and a new album due in 2011! I'm excited!

  • Where can i download this for free.

  • SEAWORLD!!! 

  • I looked up this song because after moving into my apartment, I was going through some stuff that hasn't been opened in many years...low and behond this single was in some old music cassettes. I completely forgot I had it. Very catchy song then, and even now. Awesome find!

  • Must...go...to...Seaworld...

  • child inside????...it means shes pregnant right lol!!! XD

  • @sieramike69 lmfao!

  • Thumbs up if you've been searching for this song for 15 years.

  • @DJKB94

    Yes, I HAVE been looking for this for 15 years. I was about 3 when I heard this song on a Sea World commercial. Glad I found it!!

  • this is ART!

  • this song is year 2000's? or 90's song?

  • @yt532em The first time I ever heard this song was in 1995 on a Los Angeles Radio Station called KIIS-FM.

  • @yt532em. Around 1997 give or take a year.

  • A true work of art xD

  • i wish there were more bands like this... i'm so sad it just ended up being commercialed.... sad to think spiritual music can be bought out by big corps.

  • Trippy.

  • This song moves me, it's beat syncs into my rhythm! Why?!

    My friend says this song is corny and annoying, and I tell him I cannot help but enjoy it

  • I VE BEEN TRYING TO RECOLLECT THIS SONG NAME FOR LONG. IT USED TO BE TELECASTED IN MTV DURING 1996-97..SAD TO KNOW SHE COMMITTED SUICIDE

  • For 15 years, I have been looking for this song. When I started watching those old Sea World Commercials, that's when I wanted to look for this song again. Every time I hear this song, I think of Sea World. Thank you for uploading this song here on You Tube.

  • @Jiltedin2007 Dude i was like 5 when i saw the sea world commercial. This song hes been my theme song my whole life.

  • this video cuts out alot of parts 4m the original.... luv it tho :D

  • This is the best Euro-dance song, ever. For the record, Qkumba Zoo is a South African band. However, this is a GERMAN remix by the Berman Brothers (The same producers as the Real McCoy) This explains why this song, "The Child Inside", sounds nothing like other Qkumba Zoo songs. In fact, I really would like to hear Qkumba Zoo's original version to the "The Child Inside", without this German Euro-dance beat

  • @enchantedsky1 Hey. Thanks for the complement re. "best euro dance song ever". Much appreciated :). Actually this video IS the original version. The Berman bros did do a mix, though. As did junior vasquez.

  • @enchantedsky1 si es la mejor euro song ever the mix is MASTER PIECE..STILL LA TOCO EN MI CLUB !!

  • I remember this song from a Sea World commercial from years ago. Very nice and uplifting song :)

  • It's like they're from the future. This is absolutely beautiful. And I thought all the magic and surrealism died in the Eighties. Reminds me of Cirque du Soleil.

  • @vigo894 I know what you mean. QZ is unique and inspiring to me. Just to let you know, the dancer and sculptor, Tziki, had plans to join Cirque Du Soleil. Each separately is magical. Together I can only imagine what could have been.... It's nice to see another Cirque fan out there. I just bought tickets for "OVO" in Atlanta this November and can't wait..

  • I LOOOVEEEE this song ;D

  • Oh shit. I remember for some reason on weekdays whenever I would leave my T.V on I would wake up in the morning like 1 hour before school to the sea world commercial playing this song. Took me forever to find this song. This song was my alarm clock for like 2 years lol.

  • She looks like Nina Flowers...fierce.

  • i heard this in a sea world commercial years ago :D im surprised i found it! brings back memories :')

    although...the video is a bit odd O.O

  • Da theme song 2 Sea World & it's my jam!!! Thanx.

  • I love this song!............thanks for posting, it really brings back some great memories

  • What!!! this singer did not pass? No way! Please fill me in. Suicide What! Confused here.

  • @roctex Nope, she did not paass away. The dancer for the band however, did commit suicide about 8 years ago

  • Cooool !!

  • It makes me wanna turn into a gorilla and run in the jungle!

  • This is one of my all time favorite songs! And the video is great too. Reminds me of the nights at BJs gay bar, dancing our asses off, good times!

  • Comment removed

  • Perfect car commercial song.

  • Comment removed

  • Great song! There's something nostalgic and sad about them though.

  • So this is the music video...

    A teacher's aide gave me a music CD with this single on it - I never forgot it

  • I absolutely freaking love this song AND this video.

  • so inspiring! I love them! Big is another one of my favs by them:) so gorgeous!

  • There is so much more to this song and group than Sea World.......

  • everytime i hear this song i think of Shamu and going to Disney World :) such a beautiful, feel good song.

  • @1:31 Target ad

  • Everytime Time I hear this song, I go to SeaWorld.

  • renejone ang eat bulaga ang nagpa contest nito

  • just my opinion.... i think this is one of the better songs released in years. it's cool that sea world used this song in their commercials b/c it exposed this group to many that would have never heard of them. i was a major fan before the commercial and my heart is still breaking knowing that one of the group is no longer with us. she will be missed.

  • @jessenuf

    what happened? did they get eaten by wild niggers in south apefreaka?

  • @niggerObamaHasAIDS  No, the dancer committed suicide...

  • @jessenuf need to mention that?

  • @KabbalahWestCoast mention what?

  • @jessenuf that they fucken commited suicide u dumbass kabbalah matthewshepard

  • @WashougalDreamHouse "They" did not commit suicide. The dancer, Tziki, did. I believe she IS worth mentioning, she was a very gifted performer and I feel the world lost a little magic with her passing. As far as Matthew Shepard goes, why would you bring a guy beaten to death into this? It has nothing to do with this topic and is just mean and disrespectful. Me asking "mention what?" was a valid question. I have left several posts in the last year or so. Make your parents proud, grow up.

  • i like this song soooooo much..

    AWESOME!

    nakalimutan ko lang if sang noontime show

    ba nag karoon nang dance contest tong

    kantang to... SANG LINGO NA PO SILA ba yun?

  • @OliviaHuerta ..TENGO SU CD DESDE HACE 12 YEARS AGO AUN PLAY THIS MIX NO ME CANSO DE ESCUCHARLO CREO ES EL MEJOR MIX QUE HE ESCUCHADO .............

  • i saw this song on a sea world commercial when i was little. it always made me so happy :)

  • @BloodHoundFangs

    Can't really "see" a song :P But it is a nice remix they did for the commercial.

  • nice colors, strange lloks:)))

  • I was obsessed with this song when I was little...I still love it sooo much!

  • @IchigoxRin if u picture it, she sound a little like Janet and chili from TLC lol

  • I love this song, it reminds me of Sea World !! The commercial song they used was with this song. Love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Imiss this group. I remember them in HS. Sang it all the time for Guard

  • Love, love, LOVE Qkumba Zoo! 14 years later and no South African group has come near them!

  • interesting video, really good song

  • i remember my high school days!

    we danced with this music for a campaign we made and it was hella fun.

    hugs from the Philippines!

  • great voice

  • oops sorry qkumba zoo.

    You disagree?

    Yeah? So what you gonna do about it?!

    LOL

  • i was only 7

  • i really like the music, the art in this video is very nice

  • ITS THE SEA WORLD SONG YEAH!!!!!!

  • LOL

  • Where did I keep my MDMA stash?

  • i remeber my sister dancing this back in high school...tnx for the post, been searshing for this...

  • Listening to this makes me want to go to Sea World.

  • Ha!

  • I guess that is funny. Is it?

  • It's just funny, because I had forgotten that it was once used in a Sea World commercial.

  • What? You didn't know that?

  • Yes - I knew it - but I had forgotten it. I remember this song LONG before that - back when it was played in clubs.

  • The very first time I ever heard this song, I was listening to the Radio on 102.7 KIIS FM-Los Angeles, and I found this song very profound to where I was trying to find out all of the information of this song, but was very unsucessful.

    Later when I saw a Sea World Commercial with this song a their jingle, that's when I came here to You Tube just to see who did this song.

    This is also how I found about the song "We Like To Party" used for the Old.Magic Mountain Commercials.

  • Next ALbum pls QKumba Zoo,lets Party tonight Party People....Techno Dance to the Maxxxx....

    Dj Twist of Manila Philippines----09157411555

  • She really is pretty but she needs to grow out her hair

  • one of the most beautiful enchanting songs and videos ever! Thanks!

  • Good song

  • CLASSIC!!! AWESOME!!!

  • at least they're not as fake as that jonny clegg and savuka...great video!

  • That's called being Racist BiteHunter

  • I am not sure whether I made my point clear; however, allow me to see this from your perspective. Since Eminem does truly represent rap with precision and soul, I do believe you are correct that my view may be erroneous. I stand corrected. Love Qkumba Zoo!

  • BiteHunter, this song isn't even South African.

    The song writer is GERMAN, like from Europe. The Berman Brothers wrote this song, along with many other European dance songs from 1995, like Real McCoy's "Another Night". If it were African, it would sound nothing like this song.

    Also, Whites live in South Africa, not just Blacks, so it isn't fair to say that the vocalists should be black in order to represent Africa when Whites live there too. That's like saying America is a white country only

  • Solarwinds1

    All the songs on the album "Big" were written by Owl and Levannah, and the the album originally produced by Brian O'shea (who also co-wrote Cloud Eye's). Not too sure how the Berman Brothers fit in?

  • Tell me this: Why is it "The Child Inside" sounds very different from other Qkumba Zoo songs? Because Qkumba Zoo did NOT write the music for "The Child Inside"! This video is a German eurodance remix of Qkumba Zoo's original song. I've been collecting German music for over 10 years online, and this style of music in this video is definitely German (with African drums)

    If you don't believe me, Owl, who is an original band member and sometimes replies to comments on Youtube, will confirm this

  • I bought this album "wake up and dream" when it originally came out and this version of "the child inside" is identical to the one on the album.

    Is there somewhere else (a link?) where one could find the "real" version?

  • Love the video and the song. This is what MTV used to be. I miss the old MTV. Thanks so much for posting this.

  • Comment removed

  • For some wierd reason I feel like going to sea world... *smile

  • dudes my uncle directed this music video i love it!!!!!!

  • Nice song.

  • OMG I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!^^ I remember hearing it on the Sea World Commercial!!!^^

  • LOVE this song!!! lol^_^ hey??*_* dont they use this song for Seaworld?? (lol)

  • i'm speechless.

    this is the greatest song i've ever heard.

  • Damn..........

    Where has this woman been hiding?

    We miss you love!

  • oh gosh i just bought this cd single in ameoba, and im in awe! wow.. i miss their album im gonna buy it again ;) more qkumba! hot!

  • Give them time. Good things come to those who wait. And I'm sure when they do release something new, weather or not under the name of Qkumba Zoo, it'll be fantastic.

    I just hope Owl continues with the use of African instruments.

  • Hey guys, Owl responded to a message I sent to him and he says they're working on some music at home and if anything comes of it he'll post it on YouTube. It would be great to hear more music from them.

  • I'd like to hear some soon, he keeps saying soon to me but when is soon? I understand though, he does have other commitments I am sure. When some new stuff does come out, though, I'll be thrilled to hear it!

  • I've put this song on so many mix CDs and tapes over the years...people always ask me about the song and the group. Thanks to Owl for posting and allowing us to share his (and Levannah's and Tziki's) art!

  • I have been looking for this song for months!

  • Now we just have to get rid of America's apartheid on gays.

  • I love this song, and the music video is so artistic, like nothing I've ever seen. Love it.

  • oh man! nostalgia!!!

  • Very Nice song

  • Awesome song, and the vocalist is one fine lookin hottie.

  • Tziki has the green hair and is dancing in the glitter box

  • Levannah is the singer, Owl is the guy abd Tziki is the dancer

  • ahhh! I see, thank you. Owl's tattoos are AWESOME! I think like body art is cool looking.

  • Okay, I cannot find any information on this band, or more very very little. who is who? Which one is levannah and which one is owl and tziki?

  • Junior's Club Mix is so much better.

  • I just bought the double vinyl remix lp. And I have to disagree with you. Junior's club remix is very repeditive,kinda boring and is lacking any energy and punch. It hardly resembles this fantastic original version. Non of the remixes capture the energy of the original version.

  • This was awesome for sea world

  • yeah it was great. That's where I first heard the song. Seaworld used it without Qkumba Zoo's permission.

  • me too!!!

  • Does anyone know the translation to what Owl is speaking? And is the chorus african or is it just just gibberish.

  • I think they are cool looking. Great artist videos. The group is/was from Johannesburg South Africa and their music sometimes refers to their opposition to Soith Africa's politics.

    Their look is very african inspired, not by

    the circus.

    After Tziki commited suicide Qkumba Zoo made anothe cd but changed their name to QZoo. It is a rare CD cause know one knew it was Qkumba zoo

    Their first CD WAKE UP AND DREAM is simply fantastic. Very talented people.

    Today, Owl is still producing music.

  • yay i remember this soong woohoo

  • I'm so sad to hear that Tziki commited suicide. What beautiful and talented people. I wish the rest of them happiness and success in life! :)

  • oh, wow! it shows just how behind the times i am! i remember this song from when i turned ten. how amazing to find it here!!!

    it's always sad when someone commits suicide. and those who do it are always the ones with the most beautiful hearts or talents.

  • how did she pass?

  • omg it took me 5 yearsa to find the name of this song, i use to hear in on those sea world commercials and i loved it, and now i found it! its such a good song, but the people in this video looked like they crawled out of a circus. but who cares, itz a great song

  • love love love it

  • OMG!!! I haven't heard this slammin' classic tune in a long time!!! The DJs used to play this tune all the time here in Chicago and it still remains as one of my favorite classics :) To me personally, this was their best hit :) Qkumba Zoo consisted of singer/songwriter Levannah and multi-instrumentalist/producer Owl. The third ex-member of Qkumba Zoo, dancer and sculptor Tziki, joined the group in 1996, but later committed suicide. 20 stars all the way :) This video has been added to my plalist.

  • Isn't Owl the one who committed suicide?

    D|

    I really need to study up on them more...

    Gorgeous song, though.

  • is levannah married to Owl?

  • they need to put this song on ddr... anyone agree? XD

  • i love this song so much. this song made us popular, coz we use this in many dance contest. we all girls from philippines. This is reminds me a lot. We love you guys. Please make new song to inspires us

  • I heard Owl is still making music, and I know that Tziki killed herself, what happened to the third member?

  • levanna is married

  • isn't Tziki the real name for gyro cucumber sauce...

  • We so need music like what you guys have done. 'Hope you'll be back. Love the creativity and the positiveness of it all...

  • I love this song. And Sunchyme by Dario G is also AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Love the African Motif ^^

  • i likes this song

  • I LOOOOVE THIS SONG!!! Magic!!
