please remember rockapella

How does it feel to be a group of Brown alumni singing a cappella on a street corner? Probably pretty great once you move on to Folger's coffee commercials. But we best remember them as the resident beat-boxers of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? I can't imagine the show being nearly as gripping without a theme song that is one of the most well-known in television history, according to the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences. Unfortunately, nostalgia doesn't make me hate a cappella music any less, and neither does geography.

  1. yeah, and knowing every word of that theme song doesn't make your self-addressed, stamped postcard with 5 correct answers any more likely to be chosen either. Please remember the summer i sent in dozens of said postcards.
