  • Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego???!!!!!!

  • My Scout troop is hosting our district Spring camporee. Theme - Zombie Apocalypse! I think this'll be our theme song. ;.)

  • My crew and I preformed this song for a talent show lol

  • It's funny that they're singing "don't give a dang" here. They performed this on "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego" when I was a kid, and they DEFINITELY sang "damn." This was probably in 1991 or 1992.

    I thought it was a complete scandal at the time.

    But it was magical nonetheless!

  • @UdallIn72 That's what I thought too back then! They said the "D" word on a kids show!

  • THIS IS SO CATCHY!!!!! XD I can't get it outta my head.

  • @CrimsonKira2010

    I know!! I can't stop thinking about it while thinking about Halloween, months earlier, since this is August.

  • That was a little too silly from about 1:30 - 2:10, and again at 2:30 - 2:57.

  • Since gaining Steve/losing Kevin, do they still do this song? And who does it?

  • they should make dvd of this concert.

    i love this set of Rockapella. Barry Carl is so awsome and Elliot were so cute back then.

    argggg so frustrated i was born kinda too late. now that i can effort to go see them, they're all gone.

    :(

  • it zombie jamboreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

    coolllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­lllllllllllllllllll!

  • They made the best version of this song

  • luv dem!!!!!

    

  • 20 people are not getting the humor behind this.

  • Rockapella did 9/11

  • Just loop the first second over and over if you want a laugh. Also, the first 18 are pretty funny too.

  • @ person509: I came here from newgrounds

  • These guys totally owned that song! No one has sung it better.

    Blonde surfer boy is hot. :3

  • @Nyghtshade409 I think the group was the originals even tho almost all of the members minus jeff have changeed, I could be wrong tho

  • Carmen Sandiego was mad at them for helping young gumshoes put her in jail and clicked the "dislike" button 20 times.

  • Wish I had been at the show!

  • i am from newgrounds, and i have to say i cannot believe they are well..white. I am not being rascist but they have AWESOME rhythm, and they break sterotypes which I love. I am in deep admiration that they total annihilated my assumptations of them!

  • @xXeternity2008xX Since this was made, 2 of them have been replaced by African Americans. Specifically the bass and baritone singers. They still kick ass either way.

  • these guys are so talented

  • God, I love Rockapella. 

  • lol

  • Here for gone too far too XD DUDE love it!

  • i think something is going on between blue shirt and pink shirt *wink wink*

  • @KingFernandoBono

    If you're talking about Sean and Elliot... both of them are married. Now if you were a choral man in your youth, you'd understand. As you almost certainly are not, please dinna cast aspersions where you've no idea what you are saying.

  • Gone Too Far Too

  • I thought it was wierd when he spoke at 1K50 with a normal voice after having that accent for the song o.O

  • I think the singers sings it a bit too Italian..ish..

  • Gone too far too :D FTW!!!!!!!

  • Love Scott's shuffle at 1:26. Very catchy tune!

  • i did this song in middle school

    loved it :P

  • my favorite Rockapella song

  • I danced to this with my dad at my wedding for our song! It was great!

  • thats my college! Go Moravian!!

  • what exactly does barry say at the beginning?

    Awesome song from a great group

  • ah "this island called manhattan". Got it

  • these guys should do a concert in New Zealand!!!!

  • I LOVED IT!

  • hahaha i was at this show. never thought i would experience it again. INCREDIBLE VOICES

  • these guys are why i started siniging as a kid!

  • im singing this in chours

  • my a capella group at school just got this song today...im so excited!

  • ahahah

    ow my eyeball

    =))

    lol

  • It is damn, I have the song downloaded and all of the original versions say damn so stop down-rating the guy's comment below me. He is right. It was sang by the Kingston Trio, Harry Belafonte and Rockapella and all of them say damn in the studio recordings. They are respecting the children is all.

  • Ow! My eyeball! :D

  • these guys are quite talented singers. who the fuck are you?

  • @brandonstylee311 You never watched "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego"?

  • @ibwilliamsi OMG so this is the same crew who use to sing on Carmen Sandiego faints!!! I use to love that show and these guys were my all time favorite part of the show as well. The look pretty dam good for their age considering how long it's been since the show, I'm 25 now (how the hell did that happen, blush, lol).

    Peace and love and God bless my friend, hugs,

    Allison

  • he says dang, its actually damn though. i sang it in a group at school, and the words say damn, but if there are little kids or something tis best to say dang

  • He says "i don't give a dang cause i'm stone dead already".

  • Comment removed

  • "I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already" ?

  • of course..stoned zombies;p

  • Comment removed

  • kevin has the best voice!

  • this is very good but i prefer harry nilssons version

  • my a capella group did this song in a show we played with the fault line. our beatbox and stuff was nowhere near as good haha but we love these guys ive seen them 3 times

  • i heard this song way back in 3rd grade and i loved it lol

  • One is from the north side of Indianapolis Indiana, and every few years they'll perform an inpromptu concert for their alma maters'.

    I'm guessing this is one of those. These guys are great! The Father's of modern a capella.

  • america

  • this group is cool

    i wonder wher thay live

    but i like the album copy better

    any clue where thay live ??

    thanks

  • Well I know that they perform at some schools, I've been lucky enough to see them :) Infact if you search "Rockapella Stand By Me Mendham" a senior from my school sang with them :)

  • Dude, that guy with the voice is a monster! I love these guys

  • Doesn't matter if you're a dude or a chick, these guys are just straight out awesome!!!!.

  • What a Performance..!! I would assume that all of these fine Lads are by now way way to Old to sing great songs like this on Television nowadays....oh you know, tv shows like Jay Leno 's Tonight Show on NBC and stuff like that. Oh well......

  • my 2 faves are barry and the blonde.

  • ok it's official. i have a crush on curly hair.

  • Kevin

  • Kevin is adorable and contributes some really great energy to the group; however, most of my fondness is devoted to Scott.

  • are any of the singers the originals?

  • Elliot and Barry (the first two people you see) were part of the original group, but they have both since left.

  • thanks!

  • actually, Barry wasn't in the original group

  • Oops, my mistake. I was thinking of the line-up from '89 - '02.

  • He was in the band until '07

  • This may be the single best thing I've ever seen. :P I can't stop listening!

  • This song really shows everyone a big Scott's range is.

  • Zombies in New York, eh? This song got a whole lot funnier since Lehman Bros. went bust. Black humour.

  • I love these guys...! If anyone can bring back the dead...well, folks it's these dudes....! This song is a Happy song even tho it's all about Zoms....! Could it "B" that it's cause it really Rocks...???

    Keep it up you guys ...You Rock...!

  • How can the singers slap their microphones, but I don't hear it?

  • This rocks!!!

  • Anybody else think Barry Carl looks a little bit like Ron Perlman (only better - which is not difficult)?

  • "Rockapella-Forever!!" "This Song Is Quite Grand, Barry Carl Rocks On Bass Vocals!!""Jeff Thatcher Is Grand On Vocal Instrumentals', This Song Is Always Wonderful To Listen To!!"

  • i professinal dance and this my recital song!

  • who are this guys who

    sing wonderfuly

    and have an air of metro sexuality

    who makes me think about "Queer Eye" ?

    i like their singing very much

  • WHO ELSE? They're the most popular acapella group, Rockapella

  • The best version of this song I've ever heard is by Harry Belafonte. It was part of his live show for years. I wish that someone would post it!

  • We're doing this song in show choir and I love it.We put in a Indonesian hand dance in the middle and it rocks.

  • I dreamed of mashing up this particular song with the Culture Club's lone US #1 hit "Karma Chameleon." How about the rest of you???

  • I love Rockapella's version of this. First heard this song performed years ago on the Barrymore show, by another acapella group. Would love to see that one again, but I doubt anyone has it!

  • dude same here

  • Elliot Kerman

  • My choir is doing this song, too! I'd never even heard of it before.

  • oh this was good

  • Hehe, I recently found out this is my favorite song... I've got it on my iPod, and found out i have listened to it about 250 times :D

  • 250 times? Man, you are a Rockapella fanatic!

  • I know ^^

  • I have a hit count of 340, and that doesn't include counts on YouTube or on my phone...

  • do you know where you can find a downloadable version of this song (I mean the Rockapella version not Kingston Trio)

  • we sang this song for our chorus concert.

  • they're really good :] my chorus teacher played this for us and for some reason i can't stop listening to it now... and i never knew they did the where in the world is carmen san diego until about 5 minutes ago. haha

  • love this song!! i sang it for chorus!! and i had a solo! rock on!!!! lol love it!! good job!

  • SUPER !!!

  • this is the best a capella group ive seen...but when kevin and scott are like grinding eachother is kinda gay...but then again it goes with the song

  • I love this version so much

  • Man, this song really makes me miss Barry being in the group. Don't get me wrong, I love George's sound and style, but I grew up knowing Barry through WITWICS, you know?

  • Barry isnt in the group anymore???????

  • No, his last show was in 2003. He retired from the group, and now does the voice of those bears on the Charmin commercials, as well as of Tony the Tiger and other miscellaneous voice work. Elliot retired from the group a couple years later, replaced by John Brown. Barry's replacement is George Baldi.

  • I completely, absolutely agree with you.

  • These guys are REALLY good! We're singing this in choir, and our director told us to look this up:) This is a really hard song as well.

  • We're singing this in choir right now! I have the CD from when they were in concert in Santa Barbara in 2001 and they performed it then! I was really excited to find out we're singing this song! Thanks for posting!

  • haha this is like my friends favorite song.

  • Notice the lyric at 2:15 - "there's a high wire zombie 'tween the world trade"...they don't perform this song anymore cuz of the lyric. Also, Barry isn't with the group anymore. :(

  • In 2002 they performed this song at Montclair State University with the new bass. And they didn't change the lyric. It was good.

  • I'm glad to hear that. I heard them late 2001...maybe it was just too soon.

  • the lead singer is good. he's new, right?

  • Actually, he's been with the group since it's inception. You don't recognize him because he had gold dredlocks in the 90's. If you can find any old episodes of "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?", you'll see the hair he had.

  • Actually the guy with the gold dreadlocks was Sean Altman, he left Rockapella to persue a solo career. The guy in his place now is Kevin Wright, Kevin wasn't with Rockapella during WITWICS, Sean was.

  • Meh, that's what I get for reading the website into too much detail.

  • ah well its ok lol

  • I love this song

  • yeah either the middle guy or the blonde top guy always go off tune

  • The backup guys need to tune up.

  • Berry is an awesome bass, no comparison to Richard Sterban of the Oak Ridge Boys, no one can sing lower than him, he kicks ass.

  • For some reason, whenever he says, "I lost my eyeball," that both cracks me up and grosses me out.

  • More like Garrison Nein Jamboree

  • bear is a fuckin beast

  • The male choir sings this song all the time in my school, and everyone loves it.
