If the Carmen Sandiego Theme Song was Metal…
According to the Internet — which is never wrong, duh! — Rockapella are still an active band. The group, which performs acapella verisons of rock songs and has been going since the mid ’80s, is even on tour right now! Get dates here if that’s your thing.
Rockapella, of course, were best known as the house band on the childrens’ television classic Carmen Sandiego, the theme song for which is a jingle for the ages that you’ll surely be able to recall on command if you’re of a certain age. And now MetalSucks reader Rikk W. has alerted us to the existence of a metal cover by Incognito Cinema Warriors XP, which you can check out below. The cover isn’t terribly inventive — it’s just some chugs with the song’s famous lyrics growled over top — but it’s still a fun trip down memory lane if you spent hours upon hours after school obsessing over the location of Myanmar like we did, or you just tuned in to get casino tips.
