What are the lyrics to the Discovery Channel song Boom De Ya Da?

Answer 1

This song is properly titled "The World Is Awesome," and is part of a new Discovery Channel make-over. The original song is a traditional campfire song. There are several versions of the commercial. Here are two of the most commonly-seen: Two astronauts float in space - voiceover: 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 I love the mountains, I love the clear blue skies ... change to a shot of the Millau Viaduct bridge I love big bridges ... a shot of a great white shark breaching I love when great whites fly ... a shot of Les Stroud from Survivorman, lying in the desert with a camera I love the whole world ... a shot of Hong Kong at night And all its sights and sounds ... shots of crab fishermen from Deadliest Catch, followed by African tribal dancers Boom-de-ah-da, Boom-de-ah-da, Boom-de-ah-da, Boom-de-ah-da!a shot of a surfer paddling beyond the waves I love the ocean ... a shot of Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs, in a sewer surrounded by rats I love real dirty things ... a shot of a super-powered car racing across the desert I love to go fast ... a shot of a woman scientist examining a mummy I love Egyptian kings ... either a shot of Buddhist monks at a temple, or in one alternate version, a shot of a space shuttle launching I love the whole world ... a shot of James Cameron in a deep sea sub And all its craziness ... a shot of a rock concert - followed by Richard Machowicz from Future Weapons, firing a grenade launcher - followed by an erupting volcano Boom-de-ah-da, Boom-de-ah-da, Boom-de-ah-da, Boom-de-ah-da!a shot of Josh Bernstein from Into the Unknown, in front of a tornado I love tornadoes ... a shot of Bear Grylls from Man Vs. Wild, with a tarantula I love arachnids ... a shot of a scientist in a fire-proof suit beside a Hawaiian volcano I love hot magma ... a shot of a Humboldt squid I love the giant squid ... a shot of people sitting on a beach after dark, watching fireworks I love the whole world, it's such a brilliant place ... several rapid shots - Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman from Mythbusters (Adam is setting Jamie's arm on fire) - Stephen Hawking using his synthesizer to speak (in one alternate version, a mountain climber from Everest: Beyond the Limit is shown instead, flashing the peace sign) - a man BASE-jumping into the Cave of Swallows - finally, the original astronauts from the first shot Boom-de-ah-da, Boom-de-ah-da, Boom-de-ah-da, Boom-de-ah-da! In a shorter version, you have the same first four lyrics, but the line "I love the whole world" shows a shot of Bear Grylls from Man Vs. Wildwith a tarantula on his shoulder instead of the shot of Les Stroud from Survivorman. Also, instead of the line "I love the oceans," there is a shot of Adam Savage setting Jamie Hyneman's arm on fire in Mythbusters, with the line "I love to try things."
