12 years since this song came out when "Madagascar 2: Escape To Africa" hit theaters and it's still one of my favorite songs. Anyone else here listening to this on 2020? If so, belated Happy New Year and Happy New Decade.
Just watched it again. I love this scene where Zuba finally accepts what his son does as a profession and is proud of him for being King in his own way
This song is even better from a story perspective than you might think at first. "Alex On The Spot" could be seen as a fusion of 2 other tracks in Madagascar 2; "Once Upon A Time In Africa" and "The Traveling Song". The first of these represents Alex's lineage, where he came from, the second shows the life he has lived up till that point, how he was taken out of a familiar place where he was king to a strange land where nothing makes sense and travels to find a place where he can belong, where he finds Africa and his birth family. "Alex On The Spot" is the ultimate culmination of these 2 pieces where Alex finds a combination between these 2 aspects of his life and being (dancing for newyorkers and dancing with his father). Edit: in hindsight the "Once Upon A Time In Africa" I mentioned could just be a leitmotif, but I still feel what I said applies to this.
Man i feel so old .. It remembers me the good times when we used too buy cds from the store no internet (at least at my place) i am 16 btw but still one of my best child hood memories. .😇😌
I loved these movies so much!! They were admittantly nothing too spectacular but they were kind of meant to be just a fun romp which they succeeded very well in being.
a king who conquers, not with force or foreign lands, but the hearts of the people and with that dance steps, that is a king whom I would follow and have my devotion.
What's with all the..... Portuguese comments? Edit: aight guys i realized it's polish, sorry for the confusion. Not really sure how I confused the two at this point, hahaha.
2020 e eu não sou a única que gosto dessa música de Madagascar, gosto da versão logo no início do filme também onde usam um instrumental com o Alex dentro da caixa, eu acho que essa versão deveria ser apliada para 3 minutos, para ficar uma música mesmo com o instrumental no início e perfeito❤❤❤❤
Eu que sou Brasileiro, essa música fica muito bonita, mesmo se não der pra entender algumas partes Eu ouso essa música na hora vem na minha cabeça uma sensação de como se eu estivesse no paraíso com uma paisagem muito linda com montanhas e nuvens ai começa a tocar esse "This is my Home!" passou Madagascar 2 esses dias na FOX ai eu lembrei dessa música, hoje fui atras dela Música de infância, nostálgica

They made it so fans would know what happens when they finally make it back to New York, and when they did, they learned that Marty really was showing them the light, even though he apologized for escaping in the first place.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH SONG WHEN IT CAMED OUT IN MADAGASCAR 2
I've been around the world in the pourin' rain
Feelin' out of place, I'm feelin' strange
Take me to a place where they know my name
Where everyone knows my name
Check it, check it out, I'm 'bout to do my thing
King of the floor, king of the swing
Play a lil' beat, I'll be a dancing machine
Play a lil' jam, I'll come alive, alive, alive
They got jungle fever, show em' some love
This is my home
This is my home
King of the throne
This is my home
This is my home
This is my home
This is my home
See, I've been travellin', been travellin' forever
But now that I found a home, feels like I'm in heaven
See, I've been travellin', been travellin' forever
But now that I found a home, feels like I'm in heaven
Hey-ey-ey, I- I'ma work it, work it out, I'm-
Check it, check it, check it out
I'm okay now, hey-ey-ey, I-

Check it, check it, check it out

This goes fkn hard
Awwwesome! Brilliant song
If I told you I've been looking for this song my entire life after hearing it just once one time, would you believe me?
Kinda disappointing tbh.
Tbh the only reason I finally found this now is because I had a slight flashback listen to "I like to Move It Move It"
this song makes me want to travel, see the world.
Alex taught me to be an individual and to do my own thing no matter what anyone tells u 😉💞.
Awesome!
This song remember me watching madagascar 2 everytime (1 too and some outher dreamworks movie) :)
if somebody could make an extended version of this song (or a remake of the traveling song with this orchestral element) that would be awesome
why they had to make madagascar 3? 1 and 2 were PERFECT
I thought 3 was ok. Not like the first 2 though.
AyameVioletNinja with that flying neon circus? wtf
If you didn't like the first 2 then you didn't get the Madagascar essence (which it wasn't present in the third one)
Ramix09 It looked good and it was fun to watch. But that's just some people's opinions.
personally, I liked 3. Now, it was no where NEAR 1 and 2, but it was still good. 1 and 2 however, were phenomenal.
They made it so fans would know what happens when they finally make it back to New York, and when they did, they learned that Marty really was showing them the light, even though he apologized for escaping in the first place.
HANZ ZIMMER?????? holy shit thats so awesome, that explains why this song is so good.
It's beautiful
I Can't believe it!
