Highlights of My Day (A Conversation with the Members of Rockapella)
Ask and you shall receive: Rockapella
This is your one and only chance to ask Jeff, Scott, Sean, Barry & Elliot what it is like to be a member of one of the greatest bands of our time.
You all owe me big for this....
1. Jeff, is it true that you were threatened to be kicked out of the band for messing around with a gumshoe?
2. Sean, it could have been a rumor, but was there anything going on between you and Chief?
3. Scott, people tell me all the time that I look like somebody they know....I think it's you, how does that make you feel?
4. And another thing Scott, I love the way you tight-rolled your jeans, what was your secret?
5. Elliot, did you ever overcome your $9,000/day (1992 street value) coke habit?
6. Barry, it is obvious that you continue to inspire today's youth, how do you deal with the pressure?
7. Jeff, where do you see yourself 5 years from now?
8. Scott, as the leadsinger of the band, was it your insticts that lead the band to such classics as the Folgers Coffee commercial?
9. Barry, you let many of your fans down when you were caught in '91 with a bag of mushrooms and a 14 year-old asian hooker, what do you have to say to your fans?
10. Finally, I just have to ask, what is it like knowing that every superstar in the music industry has you to thank for their inspiration and muse?

You are nuts, great writing, but nuts.
2nd comment fuckers!!!
Someday I WILL be #1!!
though my mom says I am number 1 in her book.
Strangely, my mom always said I was #3 in her book.
You are totally crazy!!! In a good way of course. :o) But doesn't the word conversation imply that they replied?
Dude you are very talented. I can see you writing for SNL or Letterman someday.
That was amazing! You forgot one key question, can they play at my birthday party?
hahhahahahahahaha... i would never have thought this was gonna happen!!!! hahahahah...dying of laughter!
That was really funny. Messing with people you don't know is ALWAYS fun.
Hah.
I'd like to see Barbra Walters get such in depth answers.
you know...I never really cared where Carmen was. I only cared about seeing those sexy, rhymin' & harmonizin' studs!
Who the hell is Rockapella?
As the '90s progressed, this five-man powerhouse, whose sound had become an infectious blend of soul, rock, r&b, and jazz, advanced across the USA, selling-out shows and appearing on radio and television everywhere. Five seasons of Carmen Sandiego had produced a huge crop of fans, young, old, and every age in between.
ahem... who is rockapella? pshaw! i think that pretty much sums it up... Only thing I would add is that it was infectious like a bad case of herpes rather than a blend of music genres...
oh yeah and in case you didn't know i stole that description from the "official" rockapella website... EFFEM!
ohhh...
da mushwooms were mine.
He promise he love me long time and he run out of my room.
you tell him come back, I give him fi minute sucky.
you bad man.
Telling someone you can see them writing for SNL someday is a fuckin insult.
SNL has been horrible since Eddie Murphy left.
I can see his humor more along the ines of Conan O'Brien.
I didn't like this one. I didn't get it.
OMG.. .PEOPLE! Rockapella was the band that played on the 'Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego game show back in the 90's...
In case you had forgotten, here are the lyrics... sing with me y'all!!!
Well she sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina,
She's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize,
She'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Steal their Seoul in South Korea, make Antarctica cry Uncle,
From the Red Sea to Greenland they'll be singing the blues,
Well they never Arkansas her steal the Mekong from the jungle,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
She go from Nashville to Norway, Bonaire to Zimbabwe,
Chicago to Czechoslovakia and back!
Well she'll ransack Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia,
Then she'll stick 'em up Down Under and go pick-pocket Perth,
She put the Miss in misdemeanor when she stole the beans from Lima,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Oh tell me where in the world is... Oh tell me where can she be?
Ooh, Botswana to Thailand, Milan via Amsterdam,
Mali to Bali, Ohio, Oahu...!
Well she glides around the globe and she'll flimflam every nation,
She's a double-dealing diva with a taste for thievery,
Her itinerary's loaded up with moving violations,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego
Ok, I'm gonna go back to pretending to be cool... bye now!
I really think this was the best post ever! Rockapella was the best group of all time yo!
23 million people want the same drugs you're on
Having Rockapella play at one of my birthday parties was always on the "to do list"....always
I think you should have written an interview with Spinal Tap!
Nice interview...its good to see they havent become jaded after all these years.
This is so wrong on so many levels. You're a genius.
You are crazy! Teee heeeee! I can see you writing for Jay Leno someday, or maybe Carrot Top.
You know what, when you don't do this daily, you make my work day longer. You are all I have to get me through my day...it's been two days without you. I'm suffering from withdrawal.
Yeah, the Chief always scared and annoyed me.
Wasn't Rockapella just some random group that did the whole where in the world is Carmen Sandiego thing? That show should come back it would be better than the current day reality shows.
it's 3:10, right?
I SAID, the necromancer says that Tiffany needs to take her dick outta Brian's mouth before speaking!
LOOKINGBUSY: Don't diss the Chief, or I will have to get a WARRANT and arrest your ass for conspiring with Carmen SanDiego. And she was not scary and she recently died.
BTW: Someday our Casual Friday guru will not be writing for Conan or Jay or SNL he will be writing for his show. I see him taking over the desk at The Daily Show.
earl jenkin: What you said makes no sense! You don't want kids to pick on "different" kids, but you're happy that the rich white Christian kids were killed? Why? Cause they're different than you? I bet you were picked on as a kid. Anyway, you're an asshole! A dumb stupid asshole!
I was so sad to hear about Barry and the hooker - was she that cute little Japanese girl in season three that found Carmen in Myrtle Beach?
