Jim Duncan - Weather is probably a spambot
Old Jun 6th, 2005, 09:07 PM        Where In the World is Carmen Sandiego
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...!

Well she glides around the globe and she'll flimflam 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?

So, how many plays on words can you find in this song, one of the more obvious ones is, "She'll steal the Seoul from South Korea," but what can you find?

Is there something more to the "..make Antarctica cry Uncle" line aside from its half-ass rhyming with "jungle?"

antartica is a harsh place with harsh weather.

you throw a cup of hot cocoa in the air and it freezes before it hits the ground!

now that is pretty hardcore. and you've got to be a real toughie to make a place like that cry Uncle!

so i think it was illustrating just how good she is at what she does.

with that said, the song brought back HELLA memories.
