See how well you remember the words to this classic cartoon theme song, and if you feel up to it, sing along. Check back every Tuesday for a new episode of On the Streets. (Jonathan Kesselman)

Read the transcript

>> Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Heart, go Planet! By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet.
Jonathan Kesselman: Are you familiar with Captain Planet? 


>> No.
Kesselman: If I were to play a song for you, would you mind singing it for us? 


>> Sure.
Kesselman: All right.
>> It was a guy who flew around and taught kids how to treat the environment.
Kesselman: Right. We have the German version of Captain Planet theme song. Two men from Austria who speak German, because apparently in Austrian, they speak Austrian and German, didn’t know that.
>> Captain Planet, he’s the hero.
>> He’ll take pollution down to zero.
>> [indistinct]] to zero. He’s a [indistinct]
>> [foreign language]
>> He’s the power, magnified. He’s fighting all the [indistinct]
>> Captain Planet, he’s our hero.
>> Gonna take pollution down to zero.
>> Down to zero. [indistinct] mumbling lyrics—planet!
>> Captain Planet, [indistinct]
>> Gonna take pollution down to zero.
>> Hey [indistinct], guys who like to loot and plunder
>> You’ll pay for this, Captain Planet.
>> You’ll pay for this, Captain Planet.
>> Captain, Captain Planet. [foreign language] Captain Planet!
>> We’re the Planeteers!
>> You can be one too. ‘Cause saving our planet
>> Is the thing to do.
>> We’re the Planeteers, Whoo! [indistinct]
>> [indistinct]
>> Looting and polluting is not the way. Hear what Captain Planet has to say, ya’ll!.
>> The power is yours.
>> The power is yours.
>> [foreign language]
Kesselman: That was awesome. Can I get a hug from you? You were much better than Patty Smith.
>> Good.
Kesselman: It’s like the scariest sounding language ever. But the way you just sang it, it made that song which was horribly atrocious sound like music to my ears.
