Also, pardon the video linkage, but this Discovery Channel promo makes me happily weepy. If people can make money promoting a worldview like that, maybe we aren't completely screwed.

Thank you so much!

I know I'm going to be singing this in the car -- so I figured maybe I should try to write down the lyrics. They're probably not actually completely correct (and feel free to correct them!) but in case anyone else is interested, I heard:

(Spoken)
It never gets old, huh?
Nope.
It kinda makes you wanna break into song?
Yep.

(Song)

I love the mountains
I love the clear blue skies
I love big bridges
I love when grey whales fly
I love the whole world
And all its sights and sounds
CH: Boomdiyada boomdiyada boomdiyada boomdiyada

I love the ocean
I love real dirty things
I love to come fast
I love Egyptian kings
I love the whole world
And all its craziness
CH: Boomdiyada boomdiyada boomdiyada boomdiyada

I love tornadoes
I love arachnids
I love hot magma
I love the giant squids
I love the whole world
It’s such a brilliant place
CH: Boomdiyada boomdiyada boomdiyada boomdiyada
Boomdiyada boomdiyada boomdiyada boomdiyada
Boomdiyada boomdiyada boomdiyada boomdiyada
Boomdiyada boomdiyada boomdiyada boomdiyada

Thanks for transcribing it!

I would make three changes:
1.) break "It kinda makes you wanna...
...break into song?" into two lines, since there are two speakers.
2.) for "grey whales", I hear "great whites" (and that does appear to be a shark, not a whale, in the image)
3.) for "I love to come fast", while it sounds ambiguous, I think it's "I love to go fast", which would also make more sense.
