Carmen Sandiego; status: FOUND!

[Funk]

SPOILERS: Carmen Sandiego's location REVEALED

I posted it so people could listen to the best theme song ever again.

Here are the masterful lyrics:

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

Well she’ll ransack Pakistan & run a scam in Scandinavia.
Then she’ll stick ‘em up Down Under & 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?

And an interesting note: 'Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego' was the most watched children's show by adults when it first aired.

I loved that show.

Re: Carmen Sandiego; status: FOUND!

I watched it religiously. I suffered through the first 2/3 of the show so I could watch them try to place the markers on the correct state or country and laugh whenever they got it wrong. I pretty much knew World Geography like the back of my hand back then.

I used to watch this show every day too, and I'd be so involved I'd yell at the TV when they placed the markers wrong.

Ahhh, memories. Thanks, bro.

I too loved this show. I even watched the crazy cartoon series.

Re: Carmen Sandiego; status: FOUND!

Did they ever catch her?

Re: Carmen Sandiego; status: FOUND!

I loved that show. I couldn't stand Rockapella but that song still kicked butt. And I also loved the cartoon series. There's nothing more exciting than watching Carment Sandiego steal something from your town. The games were cool too, as far as kids' puzzle games go. Did any of you watch the depressingly inferior "Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?" game show?

My school had this old ass game on their old black and white Macs, and all the kids played it. Travel around the world finding clues.

The only thing that sucked, was even if you got a warrent to catch the criminal, and found and arrested them, you couldnt keep them in jail unless you answered a random question. It wasnt even multiple choice. All your work went to waste unless you could answer that last question.

Non of the kids in the school ever got Carmen Sanfiego as their criminal though, even though she was listed with all the other criminals.

She reminds me of Condoleezza Rice.
