Earlier this month, during an appointment to have botox injected into my vocal cords, I got to talking with the nurse, Amy, about how well the "Schoolhouse Rock" songs from the '70s still hold up. She agreed that it was an effective way to reach her kids and other kids.
When Dr. E. entered the room, the nurse asked him if he was familiar with "Schoolhouse Rock" songs. He replied, "Yes, like 'Conjunction Junction,'" and launched into a verse from it. Dr. E. then left the room briefly to ask other staff members if they remembered "Schoolhouse Rock."
He reported back that at least one other staff member also remembered and liked "Schoolhouse Rock." Whether it's "Conjunction Junction," "I'm Just A Bill," or "Three Is A Magic Number," "Schoolhouse Rock" tunes have staying power. They're catchy teaching aids but also stand on their own musically.
