Nations of the world Lyrics


by Animaniacs

 
"Nations of the World" is a very pedagogical song, yet it gives one a lot of fun. Again it was a big hit of the Animaniacs, composed by Randy Rogel and sung by the cast of the show. It has been aired in the year 1993 and easily became a favorite of most people, mainly because of the tune and how fast one lists the countries. Basically, the song acts as an informer to the audience about the nations in the world, but in a very interesting and memorable manner. It is through the clever lyrics and the playful animation of "Nations of the World" that the informative mnemonic helps one remember the countries. The descriptions are so short, but some even give a hint about culture or geography and increase the educational content, justifying the meaning of the phrase "somewhat educational." Interestingly enough, it also embodies in its artistic choices the changes around borders and the need that comes with them to conform to a constantly changing world. This element alludes to the authorial intentions that the dynamism of the political realities around the globe be brought forth in the song, not just being a list of countries but having a comment on the fluidity of international relations. Use of "Nations of the World" by instructors whose aim is to make certain, often dull subjects within geography, fun and create an appreciation of worldly diversity in children: it is catchy and good fun, making any subject that would otherwise be very dry indeed jump to life and become memorable. That the song itself became popular after that broadcast should be laid at the altar of what was also a fun, spritely melody in its own right, complete with humorous lyrics, and the fact that the internet enabled rediscovery and appreciation of all classic Animaniacs clips. "Nations of the World," in short, is an example of how music and learning can be put together and is a really entertaining piece of creativity. It remains an important part of the Animaniacs legacy, highly celebrated in most respects for a cleverly written script of great educational value.
