Yakko's World
Yakkos Voice: Rob Paulsen
Album: Animaniacs
This is a nice song where in you will know a lot about the different countries in this world. Good song and entertainment for kids as well as grown ups. Forget about singing this song, if you can count the number of countries exactly with the same speed as Rob Paulsen sings then you can consider yourself a genius in counting .. lol ;-)

"Yakko's World" is a song from the second episode of Animaniacs, sung by Yakko Warner. It was the first Animaniacs song of many that had educational value. The song was written by Randy Rogel, directed by Rusty Mills, and animated by Tokyo Movie Shinsha. The melody of the song is set to a slightly varied tune of the Mexican Hat Dance. Yakko's World is featured on the musical album of the same name that Animaniacs released with the Rhino Records label.
The song starts with a map of the world and an announcer saying "And now, the nations of the world, brought to you by Yakko Warner!" Yakko then pops onto the screen and then starts a fast song, naming the nations of the world, save some irregularities (see below). As Yakko sings the name of a nation, he points to it so it glows. At several conventions after the end of Animaniacs, voice actor Rob Paulsen could sing the entire song without reading the lyrics.
