@saywhat10293 It was under Spanish sovereingty until 1975, when Morocco tried to occupy it in the militar strategy called (The Green March). Nowdays Western Sahara remains with no independence because Morocco has economic interests there, and saharaui people have no hope, they have no freedom of speach because of the repression of Morocco. Neither Spain nor UN want to disturb the regime of the king of Morocco, so saharauis have to become refugees in Mali or Argel. Sorry for my bad English ;)
@saywhat10293 Spanish Sahara was the name used for the modern territory of Western Sahara when it was ruled as a territory by Spain between 1884 and 1975. The territory represented one of the last remnants of the Spanish Empire, and was abandoned following international pressure, mainly UN decolonisation resolutions, as well as internal pressure from native populations and the external claims of Morocco and Mauritania. Its sovereignty remains under dispute.
We watched this in class a while back and i remember thinking "that looks SO familiar?" and then at the end i asked what show this was from because i knew i seen something like that and she said "Animaniacs" and i was like "OH YEAH!" That show was boss!
@TheStarryArcher1213 Haha, I think the most difficult part is trying to keep up with the clear enunciation- he certainly has the perfect voice for it! It gets easier to memorize if you listen to it or read (out loud) the lyrics repeatedly, like a ~million times or so, trying to go faster gradually until you finally get it to the beat XD I was determined to see if I could do it myself & now this song is ~ingrained in my head, LOL oy.. I keep randomly singing it, so hilarious!
Spelled Israel wrong, many of those are not countries anymore, some aren't even countries, like Palestine, and now there are more. Also they missed some that existed in 2006, like Vatican City, for example.
@xxjman1217xx Except that this song was made in 1991-1992. The video was just *posted* in 2006. But it was over 10 years old even then. The USSR hadn't even broken up when this was originally made back in the '90s.
Anyone else totally lost when he got to the countries of Africa? I had no problem at least generally knowing the countries in the rest of the world, but Africa is just a clusterfuck. Besides, if the dictators who run those countries would stop having revolutions every 2 months and constantly changing the names/borders then maybe I'll put in an effort to memorize their country.
I... I'm not even that old, but I was alive when this was originally made, and there have been so many changes in regards to countries, I feel old. T.T;;
@andrewlawrence2209 If you take into account that at the time this song was made, Czechoslovakia and Soviet were each still intact, which makes up for most of those contries.
Although I love Yakko, he made some errors - typical of a an imperialist doggy faced cartoon! He mixed up Crete with Cyprus. Also Transylvania is not a country. AND Yugoslavia was probably not one piece during the making of this animation (if it is post 92'). Finally, he spells Israel wrong. Ok, it is a tough song, but come on, we -who were kids in the 90s- learned faulty Geography because of you!
@MegaLamb Its Germany now in one piece. After and before the iron curtain was dropped, East and West Germany were two seperate nations. Now its just Germany. YAY
@RossEatWorld It's considered England. There just weren't enough beats to but in Wales, Scotland, North Ireland etc. And United Kingdom just threw the song off.
@Utopiansybill It's considered England by people who don't know the difference between England (which isn't even technically a nation), the UK, and Great Britain.
England, Wales, and Scotland make up Great Britain.
Great Britain plus Northern Ireland (and some other bits) make up the UK.
The UK plus Republic of Ireland (and some other bits) make up the British Isles.
did anyonw knows the warners brother put a fake country in there, and after all this 23 years only 3 people called the warners brother, and one of them is my teacher.
He gives independence to Tibet, Palestine and it reunifies Korea. There are probably others it but it is just a song and is not a text book of nations.
Even so I think we maybe need to give up the expectation that this song was supposed to have all the countries in the world and just enjoy it.
@tjjurkowski It is a cool song and I only list the ommisions (in my three posts I have not listed them all) to show off and because I am a geek who is at least old enough to remember when czechoslovakia existed.
Because I am a geek here goes: the following are missing Seychelles, São Tomé and Príncipe Central African Republic, Cape Verde Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso and South Africa. Some small nations in Europe are missed too. Not to mention the ones missed from the Pacific etc. Some names are put in to make the song work he says Borneo, Sumatra, Crete, and Transylvania which are not nations and were not in 1990-91. He says Dahomey and Kampuchea which even in 90-91 were called Benin and Cambodia.
I presume the song is from between Oct 90 (German reunification) and May 91(independence for Eritrea) or June 91 (independence for Croatia and Slovenia). This goes some way to explain some of the missing nations. Even so I think we maybe need to give up the expectation that this song was supposed to have all the countries in the world and just enjoy it. There are various Anomalies and archaisms even for the time it was written but only a geek like me would point them out.
