Time for some more music... And anyone who LIVED during the early 90s will know what I'm going to talk about when they take the post title and add "music" to it. That's right. Rockapella! I was using StumbleUpon lastnight and it dropped me at a certain YTMND page with the theme song to "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego"... (Which will now be referred to as WWCS.) How StumbleUpon finds these things with my profile information is amazing. But OH MAN, I hadn't heard that song in years and years. Instant time warp to the past! Wait... What's this? The music isn't complete. The clip only has half the lyrics sung! It's not like it's cut... So it's probably a TV rip, right? Hmm. This calls for the great investigation skills of MISTER PUPPY! And it didn't take me long to find out that there was a CD made of all the WWCS songs. Sadly, something that old has been out of production for a very long time and even used CDs are 50 bucks at the cheapest, going all the way to 200 for new copies. Insane!

So after more investigation (coupled with my brilliant sources), I managed to find the actual full-length theme. The entire amount of lyrics. So... Awesome... Okay! So I now offer my find to you! Voila!

And here is a copy of the lyrics, so you don't have to trudge over to another site:

Well, she sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina,
She's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize,
She'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Steal their Seoul in South Korea, make Antarctica cry Uncle,
From the Red Sea to Greenland they'll be singing the blues,
Well, they never Arkansas her steal the Mekong from the jungle,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

She go from Nashville to Norway, Bonaire to Zimbabwe,
Chicago to Czechoslovakia and back!

Well, she'll ransack Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia,
Then she'll stick 'em up Down Under and go pick-pocket Perth,
She put the Miss in misdemeanor when she stole the beans from Lima,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Oh, tell me where in the world is... Oh, tell me where can she be?

Ooh, Botswana to Thailand, Milan via Amsterdam,
Mali to Bali, Ohio, Oahu!

Yeah, she glides around the globe and she'll flim-flam every nation,
She's a double-dealing diva with a taste for thievery,
Her itinerary's loaded up with moving violations,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

I love StumbleUpon. It's responsible for my rediscovery of Early Edition, too.

UPDATE 1: Got some news for ya! "That Man Came Back Today" has been extended by TW and released as a final version. Of course, he wanted it called the same thing as far as tags go, so I've had to replace the short copy with the extended copy. I would suggest you download the new version, which I've linked below... (And keep the old one, since it might become a collector's item when he gets famous! Even though that'll never happen, but it doesn't hurt to prepare.)

Alright... I have a treat for you folks! One night, Nomad and TW and I were in Skype and being morons like we usually are. In the middle of the conversation, I started saying "What?" over and over. Someone else (I could have sworn it was TW, but he swears it wasn't him, so it had to have been Nomad) started repeating "What?" back to me, and it was just us saying What? What? What? back and forth with (I guess) TW in the background laughing his butt off like the stupid face he is. He then decided it was something that should be turned into a song... (How he arrived at this conclusion, none of us can yet understand.)

So over the next few days, TW made Nomad and I record ourselves saying various things. Mostly "What?" and a few other special phrases, plus whatever we wanted to say on our own. We recorded ourselves repeating these random words several times and TW took them and put them into a freaky ambient musical track that makes it seem like we're floating in space. It's actually incredibly difficult to explain for those of you who didn't get premier broadcast on the Valentine's Day Cyan Chat Radio Show! Plus, I guess I'm supposed to be the official host of the sound files, so I've tagged them (with TW's real name as the artist) and uploaded them!

So, without further ado, the files!

(The first voice you hear is that of Nomad's. He says "What?" twice, and then that's me saying the third "What?" Hopefully that will get voices straight for people who don't already know our voices! I'm also the one saying "What are you doing here?" and "I am sounding like a robot." Nomad is saying the rest... So, yeah!)

(That Man Came Back Today is a quirky little thing TW put together with a single line of Nomad's, and it has somewhat of a, shall we say, "interesting" beat to it, for those of you I know that don't like that sort of thing.)

Here I am reciting the Iliad for BroBro to make sure I remember it for the World Literature exam I have this afternoon:
