Boom de Yada

Discovery channel advertising campaign? yup. I love this song. This is a re-writing of a traditional camping song known as I Love the Mountains or I Love the Flowers, depending on the lyrics, with a distinctive chorus of "boom-de-ya-da, boom-de-ya-da".



I hear it whenever we stay in a hotel. Since the hotel doesn't have a Playhouse Disney channel, we always watch Discovery Channel there. And when we hear this commercial the three of us will immediately sing along. It'll be our last song syndrome and we will be singing it for a few more days.

While Sage was waiting for me to go to bed last night, he watched Discovery Channel- Human Body. And when I entered the room, he said….

Sage: Mommy, do you know what happens when we sleep?
Me: What?
Sage: We will become energized, learn faster and remember more.
Me: that's right.
Sage: Can we stay up a few more minutes? I want to learn.

Very good. He learns a lot. Back when we don't have our Playhouse Disney Channel, Discovery Channel and Animal Planet are his fave. Pretty impressive, don't you think?
And then there's the Boom de Yada song again..

Here's the lyrics:



It never gets old huh? Nope.

It kinda make you wanna..break into song? Yep.



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 Yada Boom De Yada Boom De Yada Boom De Yada.



I love the ocean

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 Yada Boom De Yada Boom de Yada Boom De Yada.


I love tornadoes

I love Arachnids

I love hot magma

I love the giant squids

I love the whole world

Its such a brilliant place

Boom De Yada Boom De Yada Boom De Yada Boom De Yada Boom De Yada Boom De Yada Boom De Yada Boom De Yada Boom De Yada Boom De Yada.
