  • You know, I'm pretty sure this song was how I first heard about the breakup of the Soviet Union way back when I was five. Talk about nostalgia...

  • Man, remember when it was cool for cartoons to be informative? Carmen Sandiego, Animaniacs, Histeria! Those were the days

  • Rockepella Ladies and Gentlemen!

  • The tune is "Long Cool Woman (in a black dress)"

  • "Used to be the Soviet Union but it ain't no MOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRE OW!!!!" LOL man, u gotta love rockapella :)

  • this is just a guess, but do you think they used the bonus round music because of the fact that the kids watching would recognize it?

  • yea probably

  • *applause*

  • Recorded April 10, 1992. A day later, I turned 6.

  • Holy crap, this was really cool to "sea" again! LOL!

  • Where is the seas song? Didn't see it?

  • The former USSR countries are (in the order in which they were sung): Russia Lithuania Azerbaijian Belarus Tajikistan Armenia Kyrgyzstan Uzbekistan Ukraine Kazakhstan Latvia Estonia Turkmenistan Georgia and Moldova.
  • Singing the former USSR to "Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)" by the Hollies. That's what made this show and the group so popular!!

  • Everyone, someone has posted Rockapella's Seas song on Youtube if you want to check it out. Find it in my Favorites.

  • i know who put the seas song up.

  • I like this song!!

    This song is in the tune of

    "The long cool woman in a black dress"

  • I used to love watching the Rockapella music extras at the end of Carmen Sandiego. I'd also love to see the Seas song if anyone has it.

  • Does anyone have the A-MNE clip of Rockapella singing about the world's seas to the tune of Billy Joel's "The Longest Time"??

  • I have it on a tape somewhere. I'm going to upload it when I start capturing some Season 2 episodes.

  • GabeNJunk, does this mean you have WITWICS episodes?

  • My understanding is that GabeN Junk has some of Season 2, most (if not all) of Season 3 and 4, and most of Season 5. (keeps her fingers crossed that these episodes will be posted soon)

  • really?! Awesome! Woot Woot! I can't wait!

  • What's keeping him?

  • he has to get something for his computer. I don't quite remember what it is, but he said he'll get it sometime this month, and then...it's Carmen time!

  • Relax, Lubber. He'll get to it when he gets to it and not a moment sooner. You should be a bit more like me: excited but patient.

  • and just like me, Emily. I'm excited as well, but I'm being patient, too. =]

  • I'm glad of that Aubrey.

  • It's all good, Emily. =]

    oh, and Merry Christmas, too. That goes for everyone

  • is this the same song used during the end game? when the contestant chases carmen?

  • Yes, this is the very same music that's used during the Map bonus round.

  • It's also their version of "Long, Cool Woman in a Black Dress," except with different lyrics. Check out Rockapella, Vol. 2: From N.Y. Killer album!

  • I recognize the "beat" of it as the bonus round music

  • yes

  • haha! I tried to figure out what all they were saying! I didn't get very far.... lol! I love this song though - the original one, that is. "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress" (I prefer the Rockapella arrangement)!

  • They're singing about the 15 independent republics that were formerly the Soviet Union.

  • HAHA!! Thanks for telling me!! At first I couldn't understand much of anything. I can understand the whole thing now that I know what it's about!

  • Or the USSR. (for short)

  • ....holy cow.....

  • best bonus round music ever. its up there with legends of the hidden temple

  • Legends of the Hidden Temple used to be my favorite kid's game show, but when I saw this after 10 years, this quickly became my favorite.

  • and of course the Double Dare Obstacle Course

  • That was Awesome! They sung to the bonus round music! I like that music!

  • One of those filler segments I've heard about. Awesome!
