I Love the Whole World

This discovery channel commercial has been driving me nuts! I remember the song, but the lyrics were different. It’s been an earworm for too long, so I had to go find it today. Most places had flowers instead of fountains, but I’m listing fountains as that’s the way I learned it.

I love the mountains, I love the rolling hills
I love the fountains, I love the daffodils
I love the fireside, when all the lights are low.
Boom-dee-a-dah, Boom-dee-a-dah, Boom-dee-a-dah, Boom-dee-ay

Discovery Channel did a great job with their commercials. My favorite scenes are Bear Grylls loving his arachnids and Stephen Hawking going Boom-de-ah-dah. What are yours?

Here’s their new lyrics:

I Love the Whole World

Spoken
Astronaut 1: It never gets old, huh?
Astronaut 2: Nope. It kinda makes you want to…
Astronaut 1: Break into song?
Astronaut 2: Yup

Sung
I love the mountains, I love the clear blue skies
I love big bridges, I love when great whites fly
I love the whole world, and all its sights and sounds
Boom-de-ah-dah, Boom-de-ah-dah, Boom-de-ah-dah, Boom-de-ah-dah

I love the oceans, I love real dirty things
I love to go fast, I love egyptian kings
I love the whole world, and all its craziness
Boom-de-ah-dah, Boom-de-ah-dah, Boom-de-ah-dah, Boom-de-ah-dah

I love tornadoes, I love arach-a-nids
I love hot magma, I love the giant squids
I love the whole world, its such a brilliant place
Boom-de-ah-dah, Boom-de-ah-dah, Boom-de-ah-dah, Boom-de-ah-dah
Boom-de-ah-dah, Boom-de-ah-dah, Boom-de-ah-dah, Boom-de-ah-dah, Boom-de-ah-da, Boom-de-ah-dah

    I love this commerical. When ever I hear it I start to sing along. ( I know all the words ) I think my favorite part is when the woman says “I like Egyptian Kings”. I think the commercial makes people realize that are world is amazing and that we need to appreciate it. Oh and thank you for putting something up about the original song, my mom always use to sing that to me when I was younger and getting put to bed..

    I don’t watch the Discovery channel so I’m not familiar with most of the people depicted in the video, but I still love it.

    My favorite part is when the guy fires the gun right as he says “boom”

    Oh, and the Discovery channel has an mp3 download of the song on their site, if anyone is interested: http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/world-is-just-awesome/promo.html
