Rare! A circa-1998 guide to the then-new TV ratings system we continue to use today, featuring the legendary Captain Kangaroo, and on-camera musical assistance from vintage Rockapella!
does anyone know what parodies of rockapella's songs are in this? i know that the opening of it is a parody of lift up but i don't know any of the others. if anyone knows, please reply. thanks.
I think the other two might have been modified for this use specifically, because there's nothing they've sung that sounds exactly alike. But to me, the melody of PG sounds like 'Hula Holiday' (apart from the last line). The DLSV backing vocals sound like their song as the Five Little Piggies in 'Mother Goose: A Rappin' & Rhymin' Special' from 1997. The melody for that one is a bit different, though. Hope this helps!
This is awesome!
Thanks for uploading this! My sister and I remember this coming on in the late 90s and we couldn't find a clip of it until now.

Y7 is "Nowhere" and 14 is "Bed of Nails". The other two I don't recognize, but I'm not too familiar with anything after Sean left the group.
Edit: I had the first one wrong.
@@bfish89ryuhayabusa ok thanks.
