Discovery Channel -I Love the Whole World Don't know how many of you have seen this yet, but I can't get the smile off my face after seeing it. 
http://www.youtube.com/wa...5BxymuiAxQ I was looking for the Canadian version with Jay Ingram singing "I love the oceans", but this one's pretty awesome as well.  "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Ladies and Gents in advertising, take note: THAT'S how you do a commercial.  "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Seriously, everything about this ad is great!
The song with it's simple lyrics, the cameos, the amazing footage, the sheer joy expressed. Not to mention how promoting the channel takes a backseat to the real message of the commercial. That is, "the world is just awesome." Love it. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

I've gotta say, one of my favourite things about the song is that for the most part, it's not a bunch of trained commercial actors or professional singers. It's just hosts of their shows and a few scientists. The fact that much of the singing is a titch off-key makes it all the more endearing IMO.  "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |
