Unless you’ve been living under a rock all this time, I’m sure you’ve heard or at least recognize this familiar tune that keeps playing on the Discovery Channel. Even the Simpsons created their own version. Boom de yada or bunti yaya – hehe. Its called “I love the world” or in some cases “I love the whole world” and its really catchy.

If you haven’t seen or heard this – then its your lucky day. I bring you the video with lyrics!

AND here’s the Simpsons version:

Here’s how its broken down:

First version
Lyric Visual shown
(Dialogue)
Astronaut 1: It never gets old, huh?
Astronaut 2: Nope.
Astronaut 1: It kinda makes you want to…
Astronaut 2: Break into song?
Astronaut 1: Yep. Two astronauts on a space walk
I love the mountains,
I love the clear blue skies
I love big bridges A shot of the Millau Viaduct bridge
I love when great whites fly A great white shark jumping out of the ocean in an attack (Shark Week)
I love the whole world Les Stroud with a camera lying in a desert (Survivorman)
And all its sights and sounds A shot of the Hong Kong skyline at night
Boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda (twice) Alaskan crab fishermen (Deadliest Catch)
An African tribe dancing, with one getting near the camera (Going Tribal/Last Man Standing)
I love the oceans A surfer paddling out
I love real dirty things Mike Rowe in a sewer with rats (Dirty Jobs)
I love to go fast A man in a land speed record breaking vehicle
I love Egyptian kings A scientist examining an Egyptian mummy
I love the whole world A temple of Buddhist monks (a space shuttle launch in the alternate version)
And all its craziness A deep sea sub with James Cameron and a jellyfish
Boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda (twice) A large rock concert (also in another Discovery Channel commercial “Let’s All Discover”)
Richard Machowicz firing a Milkor MGL grenade launcher at a nearby test house (Future Weapons) (in the alternate version, the visual of the test house is replaced with that of an erupting volcano)
I love tornadoes Josh Bernstein standing in front of a tornado (Into The Unknown With Josh Bernstein)
I love arachnids Bear Grylls examining a tarantula (Man vs. Wild)
I love hot magma A man in a fire proximity suit next to a lava flow
I love the giant squids A humboldt squid
I love the whole world
It’s such a brilliant place A collection of people on a beach watching fireworks
Boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda (repeating until fade) Adam Savage setting Jamie Hyneman’s arm on fire (MythBusters)
Stephen Hawking in a lecture hall (through his voice synthesizer) [In the alternate version, Hawking's voice synthesizer is still heard, but a climber on Mount Everest flashing a V sign (Everest: Beyond the Limit) is shown instead.]
A man BASE jumping into the Cave of Swallows (also from “Let’s All Discover”)
“The World is Awesome” appears on the screen, then the Discovery Channel logo appears

Dont you think he should have won over Carrie Underwood?!! Kulang lang sya sa mass appeal, hehe. sayang.

Then there’s Chris Daughtry, who also was memorable in AI and is actually more popular now than the winner for that season, Taylor Hicks:  

Some people have been comparing Daughtry and Cook. I think there shouldnt be a comparison… they both rock! Cook is just more an “emo” singer though. hehe. What are your thoughts?

I’m stuck on you
Been a fool too long I guess it’s time for me to come on home
Guess I’m on my way
So hard to see
That a woman like you could wait around for a man like me
Guess I’m on my way
Mighty glad you stayed

Oh, I’m leaving on that midnight train tomorrow
And I know just where I’m going
I’ve packed up my troubles and I’ve thrown them all away
‘Cause this time little darling
I’m coming home to stay

I’m stuck on you
I’ve got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can’t lose
Guess I’m on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I’ll be with you ’til the end
Guess I’m on my way
I’m mighty glad you stayed
