Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Sing-Along

"Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?" is a song made famous by the vocal group Rockapella, and currently performed by that group as well as by former group leader Sean Altman, who co-wrote the song with David Yazbek. It was the theme song to the Peabody Award-winning game show of the same name that ran on PBS from 1991 to 1996. Every episode of the show ended with Rockapella singing the song, surrounded by a gleefully dancing studio audience. Rockapella's original recording appears on the 1992 BMG/Zoom Express album Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? and Television's Greatest Hits Volume 7: Cable Ready (TVT 1996). The song has maintained public awareness via The Today Show (NBC-TV), which licensed the song for its annual "Where in the World Is Matt Lauer?" campaign in the years 2000--2005.

@DisneyVillain I actually spell it Van-Helsing (with a hyphen), but I was quoting Hellsing Abridged by Team Four Star ;)

@cold0ero I couldn't agree more with this. Back in the 80s and 90s, children's shows ACTUALLY taught geography and world history and culture (I'm looking at you Histeria, Puzzle Place, Where on Earth/In the World is Carmen Sandiego, and that Nations of the World song from Animaniacs) But now they don't seem to give a crap whether or not the children are going to grow up ignorant or not. All they care about are fart jokes. I know I wouldn't know as much as I do if I didn't watch them.

Sadly, the only people who understand the locations in this song are most likely the ones who watched the show. Play this song to kids today and they would mostly draw a blank. They wouldn't even know the song was changed when Czech Republic and Slovik Republic were formed.

This is so damn catchy, I didn't even watch this show as a kid, but I would hear the theme song occasionally, and to this day I still remember the chorus.
