— Groucho Marx
A Little SchoolHouse Rock
Ok, Raise your hands if this song helped get your through a test or two.
But Conjunction Junction takes the cake. What a catchy tune.

I have to admit, I still sing a few of them to remember things. They were awesome. My fave? "I'm just a bill" - such a GREAT song. Those songs were how I learned the preamble to the Constitution (which I can still sing today!)
I LOVE it! We actually have a CD that came out while we were cool newlyweds - "SchoolHouse Rock Rocks!" It's a "tribute" album with covers of all the old songs by grunge-era bands. Let me tell you - you've never heard "Conjunction Junction" until you've heard Better Than Ezra's version! Our kids love it, and we plan on taking them to see "SchoolHouse Rock Live" pretty soon.
"Interjection!" (ouch!) will always be my favorite. And I can still sing the whole Preamble to the Constitution.
I have the DVD's and I've seen the live show too - and I don't even have kids (yet)... and I guess now it looks like I have to go find the tribute CD :)

Z,
"I'm just a Bill" is great.
AMM,
I remember that tribute CD.
I learned all my grammar from schoolhouse rock.
Thanks for posting those. My favorites were the 4-legged zoo and naughty number nine. I guess I was a weird kid.

We bought my kids the DVD - it still rocks after all these years and they love it!
PT,
It is pretty cool.
Rebecca,
They weren't still on when you were younger?

EK,
It is a good feeling isn't it.
