What utter bullshit. lol

Loved Schoolhouse Rock. We should all live that long.

Three
is the magic number...

I love Schoolhouse Rock. It was an interesting but unrelated extension of Sesame Street in some ways. SS had those trippy cartoons counting or highlighting a letter, teaching children how to count, and spell. Fast forward to the 90s and Barney filled that. My friend's daughter had a hard time learning to speak, and she was in 2nd grade at that point. She's always said that Hooked on Phonics and Barney cartoons helped her kid learn to speak.

Schoolhouse Rock took the SS idea of learning to a new level, teaching politics, grammar, sentence structure, math, and many other things. It was so 70s and trippy, but it served a purpose. They were such catchy songs.

For those interested, in case you didn't know, there was a box set of all the songs released quite a few years ago. No doubt it's still out there. I think it's a 4 or 5 CD box set.

Growing up in the 70s,I loved Schoolhouse Rock still enjoy hearing those songs every now and then

They did get the history wrong.

Not sure if this is the guy who wrote it,but my favorite is "Lolly Lolly Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here"

My favorite Schoolhouse Rock video:

I saw Bob Dorough perform here in NY a few years ago and met him briefly afterward. Very nice guy. I have the preamble to the U.S. Constitution memorized thanks to Schoolhouse Rock.

I got to see Bob play a few years ago, he was 92 at the time and still a very charming performer. I loved it.

...

My favorite Bob Dorough song was this one, although as a kid, I couldn't make sense of the math, LOL!

Incredibly, he also did a few tracks with Miles Davis, including this one:

Miles Davis, with Bob Dorough -Nothing Like You

...

and this one:

Miles Davis Sextet, with Bob Dorough (Piano, vocals)- To Whom It May Concern (Blue Xmas)
