The new version, which you can listen to below, was written by Jared Lee Gosselin and sung by Raquel Castro.

Saturday Night Live revived the beloved PBS game show Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? to solve a different mystery: The whereabouts of Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway.
The geography-based series was recreated in hilarious detail for the short sketch, even down to Rockapella's intro.
"She used to be on TV / On like every single panel / Then one day we all woke up and she was no longer there / What could have happened? / She is not on any channel," SNL host Chris Pine sang to the tune of the PBS' theme.

There's a long history of grown-ups trying to make educational materials entertaining. However, there's also a long history of most of these efforts turning out to be heavy on the education, light on the fun. It's a tough one for adults to wrap their heads around, but they're not always the best at predicting what kids will take to and what they'll sniff out as just being homework gussied up like playtime.
One exception? The various Carmen Sandiego games. Next to Oregon Trail, they were often the best possible use for a school computer back in the day. And in...

Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego was a cultural phenomenon that grabbed the attention of many children 30 years ago. The franchise started off as a game in 1985, but it also spawned a television series that aired on PBS during the early 1990s. The series aired for five years between 1991 through 1995.
Mashable brought Rockapella to their studio recently to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the game's release. The group performed the popular theme song that opened up the series.
The line-up of the group has changed since the series aired, but the original leader of the group back then, Sean Altman, also appeared to lead the group in the acapella performance.
Altman spoke about the experience and the history behind Rockapella's involvement with the series. He revealed that the band was first approached in...
