Rockapella - zombie jamboree - studio version.

[@shrinkwrap]

my uncle made me a tape with this song on it when i was little and it was my favorite song for a while. i used to make my mom play it every time we were in the car. it's still hella catchy.

[@rubioblack]

I first heard this on “Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego” 30 years ago.

[@wandererwerewolf477]

Yep. It was funny until PBS noticed the mild profanity and made them change it.

Best version of this one ever heard is when I heard them perform it live at the Shasta Fairgrounds in Anderson California, and they did it on a flatbed trailer. I honestly have no idea how long ago it was, but it was at least 20 years ago. They were amazing!

I grew up with this song. I listened to Do It Acapella every time I was in the car.

[@JPumpkinKing]

Unfortunately, the photo of the group in the video is NOT of the guys who are in the recording you are listening to. NONE of those guys in the photo are from the ORIGINAL Rockapella group which made this recording. Just some FYI!

[@weeedster]

I was in a hurry when i made this. Didn't know anything about them at the time, other than i liked the song. Still don't know anything about them. I just picked this off of google cause i thought it looked nice, and was better than a black screen.

[@litigioussociety4249]

Pretty sure the guy in the left and the middle guy were. They were both in Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego in the episode that featured the song. That's what brought me here. The episode is The Taking of the Shrew.

[@furrykef]

The guy in the middle is Scott Leonard, who was indeed on Carmen Sandiego (which began in 1991), but I believe this recording is from 1989, before Scott joined. The guy on the left is Kevin Wright, who didn't join until 1997, well after the end of "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?". So I think it is indeed the case that none of the people pictured are heard in this recording.

[@Oleoay]

@@furrykef I believe Scott was in the original. If you do a search for "Rockapella Zombie Jamboree (Doo Wopp)", you'll find the original music video.

[@MI325A]

Hi, ALL. For the correct group of guys, watch this YT video : kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKbUmZmJlrZmqcU Starting at timestamp 5:30

[@agtac76]

Thanks for putting this up! Love this song. :-)

[@possumridgeentertainment4614]

I remember seeing them perform this on Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. I couldn't understand anything they were saying other than "I don't give a damn." That shocked me because my mouth wasn't squeaky clean at that age, I said much worse things, but hearing them say "damn" on a PBS children's show aimed at preteens/early teens was scandalous to me at the time.

[@NellieKAdaba]

Great show.

[@jlsmithmedia]

I was just thinking the same thing!

[@AggeTGF]

Thumbs up if you came here from Newgrounds. AND FINALY FOUND THE RIGHT VERSION! :D

[@axellachauve7389]

I like the idea

[@GenerallyAGamer]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH3UiWWfrrtrn6M I thought the exact same thing lol

[@AmeliaMaud]

To me it's weird how many people associate this song with games, films, or fantiasies about KILLING zombies. The song is all about a bunch of zombies having fun and not bothering anybody. Why kill them? (Not to mention that zombies are already dead, right?) The original song (BEFORE Harrry Belafonte and many others) was Jumbie Jamboree. Jumbies are a type of undead creature, but they don't eat brains.

[@ryomahoffman6803]

They should put it in a walking dead episode

[@thebox822]

Well lucky for you I’m making a zombie trailer very soon

[@TheBlueKnight5]

Came here because of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego!!! Saw the ORIGINAL Rockapella sing the song, but Harry Bellafonte sung the original song!!!

[@adamsbja]

Kingston Trio did it before him, and they credit Lord Invader.

[@tanyasobsessions2131]

i LOVE how sean sings i need the chorus at 2:42

[@elrasa3]

@carapo66 thanks for the info but i already knew they were'nt the original singers of the song...... i was only referring to the "original" that rocakapella did back in 90 (with Altman singing lead) when they were performing on spike lee's "do it acappella".... as opposed to the new rendition when they had kevin singing the lead....

[@Phoenixfirex]

It sounds a little different than the version used in "Gone too Far Too" But it's still stuck in my Head!

[@AwesomeOxtheExploder]

I swear. I will embrace the apocalypse if it sounds like this.

[@BlankManj5]

How has this song not shown up on a zombie movie soundtrack yet?

[@Go1US1Marines]

My scoutmaster taught us this song back in the 1950s. Troop 173, Brooklyn, NY. Made for a rousing campfire sing along.

[@Matthiasflint]

Far and away the best version of this song, even though I usually prefer originals, they all pretty much fail to catch the rhythm like Rockapella does!

[@NinjaFoxWafflez]

This will always be my happy song xD

This song was playing at the beginning of the Beetlejuice show at Universal :P Its awesome

[@59cadcoupe]

@elrasa3, the original version was sung in the 1950's by a Trindiadian calypso singer named Lord Invader (Rupert Grant).

[@tiyenin]

@sushisroxmysox Actually, if the version that you're looking for is the one from Gone Too Far Too (watch?v=RgTh_6d-Mh4), then this ISN'T the right version. This is the studio version from when Scott Leonard was high tenor, and the GTFT version features Steve Keyes, probably the recording they used on Spike Lee's documentary, "Do It A Cappella."

I remember the first time I heard this was two years before Carmen Sandiego TV show when I heard this on the premier September 30,1991 I cried because I already knew the song

[@NEAmarillo79107]

This song was used for a clue on the premier espisode of Where in The World Is Carnen Sandiego Monday September 30,1991 this show was on the air Monday September 30,1991- Friday December 22,1995 this show ran for 5 seasons And continue to July 1996 with replays of the previous aired tapings

[@NEAmarillo79107]

viewers had a second chance to rewatch there favorite espisodes if they got the question wrong the first time

[@NEAmarillo79107]

Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego will always be my favorite children's TV Show of all time I liked this when I was age 9 I was one week from my 10th birthday when this show first aired I continued to love watching this until the end of my 8th grade year 95-96 prior to entering the 9th grade 1996-1997 this show prepared me for W HIST in the 6th grade I earned a 95 for the whole year and in the 10th grade W HIST I earned a 87 for the entire year of enrollment
