Originally Planned as a Posting in my TVLand Thread, But SO DESERVING of a thread of it's own...For those of you too young to remember "Schoolhouse Rock" I feel PITY, but maybe discovering these gems will move you up a little higher on the food chain...

SUFFERIN' TILL SUFFRAGE
Still one of my FAV entries in the series & still one of the coolest pieces about the early Suffragette Movement-I first learned about Susan B. Anthony from this awesome cartoon!
This was written & sang by the fab Essra Mohawk who later wrote songs for Cyndi Lauper

INTERJECTIONS!

This is probably my other very FAV entry in the series & I can still sing every word by heart!

They're generally set apart from a sentence by an exclamation point,
Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong...

NO MORE KING!

One of my Fav entries in the American History series. Being an Anglophile myself, I could handle us still being Brit, but that's beside the point! LOL! A very catchy, patriotic tune!

Another one of my favs in the series-really catchy tune. Classic singer Blossom Dearie (who was a big influence on Kate, Tori, Regina & Nellie McKay) does part of the vocal work on this one. Her vocals appear several times in the series-so I knew who Blossom was long befoe I became a music snob...LOL!

UNPACK YOUR ADJECTIVES!

Vocal performed by Blossom Dearie-more people have proabably heard this tune than any of her classic jazz records.
Girls who are tall get taller, boys who are small, get smaller....

Truer words never spoken! In more ways than one...

LOL Kate..

I love Schoolhouse Rock. Apparently no one else does!

^Well, there's a lot of Liz news so nobody cares as much about our regular fun threads, but I keep going anyway...
SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you are a fan, SN!
