Rockapella!

Because I was feeling nostalgic after writing my last posting and wanted to hear the old theme song myself, I decided to enhance my last posting with a sound track of the music to Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego for the benefit of all. So, I went looking for a snippet of the theme song.


I think what I found deserves its own post - hence today's posting!


I found a youtube video that is worth watching and listening to - even for more than just nostalgia's sake! I had never really thought about the fact that Rockapella - who accompanied the unfolding action in the show - are actually a completely a capella singing group. Yes, that means even the percussion you may remember from their songs...


Check out the "drum solo" from one of the guys in the group on this video:

And, just another trivia tidbit: the main singer is from Indy - his dad runs the scoreboard at Colts games and Rockapella performed at a 2007 Symphony on the Prairie!


Now you can all have this catchy tune stuck in your head for the day like I do...

All for now!

  1. This is you daughter, Audrey, and I would like to say that he is really good at his job. I thought he was moving his mouth while someone to the side, out of veiw, was playing some real drums. Although, I would not like to touch the microphone after he was done because, by the looks of it, spit was flying everywhere! You could probably tell his DNA from that, if you were a scientist anyway. Also, I would like to say that I have that song stuck in my head too. ugghhh!! I want it out out of my head but it is too catchy!!
    I am signing off

  2. That's so neat. Thanks for bringing back the memory of that show and song! Watching that, and watching them get so much enjoyment out of it sometimes makes me resent really talented people like that...just a tad! (Carrie O'Connor)
