is a song from Episode 2: Yakko's World/Cookies For Einstein/Win Big, and probably the most famous of their songs. In the song, Yakko names all (well, most) of the nations of the world (in 1993). A clip of the sing-along version of this song has been viewed more than ten million times on YouTube. To this day, Rob Paulsen , the voice of Yakko, never misses an opportunity to perform this song live, rarely with error.

The song was written by Randy Rogel, a writer from Batman: The Animated Series and Animaniacs, whose son was studying geography. When he saw that "United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama" all rhymed, he got to work on the lyrics and sent the song to Animaniacs. The music is that of the "Jarabe Tapatío," better known as the Mexican Hat Dance tune, a traditional Mexican song.

The song was released on two soundtracks: Animaniacs and Yakko's World.

The song has been referenced and parodied several times.

In one episode, Yakko sings "All the Words in the English Language" to the same tune, while Dot Warner and Dick Button (playing himself) comment on his performance like an Olympic ice-skating routine.

In "Cutie and the Beast", when Yakko demonstrates that he can say Dot's full name (Princess Angelina Contessa Louissa Francesca Banana Fana Bo Besca the Third) without error, she sarcastically comments, "Oh, thank you, Mr. United States Canada Mexico Panama!", which were the first four nations of the song.

In "The Sound of Warners", Yakko has a nightmare about flubbing the lyrics.

In one episode of Pinky and the Brain , Brain asks Pinky if there is in fact anything that he does know, Pinky replies, "I know all the words to 'Yakko's World'." (Both Pinky and Yakko are voiced by Rob Paulsen.)

, Brain asks Pinky if there is in fact anything that he does know, Pinky replies, "I know all the words to 'Yakko's World'." (Both Pinky and Yakko are voiced by Rob Paulsen.) In the Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain episode "Squeeze Play", Brain was talking about his latest plan when Pinky bursts into this song until Brain strangles him.

episode "Squeeze Play", Brain was talking about his latest plan when Pinky bursts into this song until Brain strangles him. A commercial bumper for Animaniacs that was used on Kids' WB! from 1996 to 1999 had Tweety start singing the song.

that was used on Kids' WB! from 1996 to 1999 had Tweety start singing the song. In some songs that has Yakko singing has the same Announcer voice is used. (Ex. When You're Traveling form Nantucket has the announcer saying "And now, Yakko Warner sings about time.")

The song was referenced in the Robot Chicken episode "Cheese Puff Mountain" segment "Animaniacs Kama Sutra".

In 2019, a Minecraft player made a parody of the lyrics that mentions every Minecraft block as of version 1.15.

In 2017, Rob Paulsen performed the song live during a Nerdist video and included a new updated verse written by Randy Rogel.
