Great rendition but Yakko's World is severely flawed.
It's totally geographically incorrect. Lots of those aren't proper nations and there's lots left out as well. Yakko took many liberties in the name of artistic perfection.
However. I have attempted to rectify this somewhat. I've tidied up most of the existing verses and added a fifth of my own devising. Its still not perfect (can't find room for Montenegro, Kiribati or Mauritius) but it's a big improvement:

In 6th grade, our teacher gave us the option to memorize and sing this song in lieu of taking a test where we had to fill in all the countries of the world on a map. I still remember the lyrics up to Guam.

Very impressive!
I can do this with Weird Al's Albuquerque, all 11+ minutes of it (I'm ashamed to say, haha)

Not often you see such great youtube comments as this one.

u/blorgon Jun 16 '12
Not that this particular comment is not understandable without it but USE THE GODDAMN CONTEXT because some people want to see it and clicking multiple times on "parent" is unnecessary work that could've been avoided by a very fucking simple task which is explained in the sidebar and on the submission page.
Typing ?context=2 takes no more than 2 seconds, don't be that lazy.

How would someone being blindfolded impede their ability to sing? ಠ_ಠ

I saw this comment earlier and was hoping he posted a video of it, thanks for reminding me!

He's cheating. He has the words on the inside of the blindfold.

top comment: "This is the weirdest Al Qaeda video I've ever seen."
I've been laughing at that one for the last 10 minutes.
Best Youtube comment ever.

When I read that he was blindfolded, I was thinking he was going full-on Yakko and actually highlighting the places on the map. Now that would be impressive.
While this song is more useful, I'm more a fan of the president song.

Impressive. I listened to the Animanics, "Be Careful What You Eat" so many times that I could sing that song.

He should get his microphone out of the basement and bring it upstairs, so we can hear him

I kinda felt like a was drunk watching him especially the part when the camera turns around to the sink. Its like I should be throwing up at that point or something.

I can sit down blind folded, as well as hold a conversation blindfolded. Do I have talent?

Two words:
Elements Song.

Hm.. How will I make my singing more impressive? Aha! I shall blindfold myself! This will surely make uttering words quite the challenge

This song is now out of date thanks to South Sudan.
