I think we should pool our nickles and buy time to run some of the civics Schoolhouse Rock songs on Fox "News". Their demographic could use a refresher.

molipley.bsky.social•6 days ago

We need a modern reboot!

auntieed.bsky.social•6 days ago

There is one! Schoolhouse Rock Rocks (well... it's about 20 years old 😀)

jmhardin.bsky.social•6 days ago

I'll be that if we could somehow slip them into the Faux News stream folks would watch them.

rob-knotts.bsky.social•6 days ago

For some reason I don't remember "Elbow Room" making the rounds on TV.

thesoozgazooz.bsky.social•6 days ago

A mediocre white guy I work with who grew up in middle of no where Iowa had never heard of the Schoolhouse of Rock. I’m like bro, you grew up in the 80s. How is that possible? But explains so much.

2-smooth.bsky.social•6 days ago

I like Rufus Xavier Sasparillo.

nsogrammy.bsky.social•6 days ago

My kids are in their 50’s and can still recite Schoolhouse Rock.
They also understand how a bill becomes a law.

Colleague studying for citizenship test thought these were helpful!

borisbadenov64.bsky.social•7 days ago

I was thinking this 2 weeks ago. And thank you for sharing the link.

kimsteed13.bsky.social•6 days ago

That's the foundation of my knowledge of government. But, along with that came the Fractured Fairy Tales, and the Wacky Races. So, yeah, that is the essence of the 70's.🤣

butterflyhg.bsky.social•6 days ago

I watched them and can still hear most of them in my head. "I'm only a Bill"

jaxlovesamerica.bsky.social•6 days ago

No More Kings is pretty fitting for the moment!

There are schools across the country that put on school house rock Jr as part of their theater program. Those that chose it this spring will be doing a public service.

stanzman.bsky.social•6 days ago

Not Unless it's got a Friday the 13th meets Halloween meats Freddy Krueger version of the song I'm just at bill!!

harriet75.bsky.social•6 days ago

Love it

socellatus.bsky.social•7 days ago

Did you know there is a Schoolhouse Rock Rocks album where the songs are interpreted by popular (at the time - 1996) artists? I personally like the Mr. Morton one by Skee-lo but No More Kings sung by Pavement is more apropriate for the current times

auntieed.bsky.social•6 days ago

Love that cd! May need to put it on my Playlist 😀

jfrog9676.bsky.social•6 days ago

I am not 100% sure but I think Better Than Ezra did Conjunction Junction.

Three is the MOST magic of numbers.

I hate that Disney has them. They should be free & easy to access.

That was such a great program. Reagan canceled it.

spursiceman.bsky.social•6 days ago

Perhaps 🤔 if the White House staff played Schoolhouse Rock videos for the Cheeto colored 🦧 on the Government and how a bill becomes law would be helpful-it’s a cartoon in color …

freegravy.bsky.social•6 days ago

Revisited these with my kids just last week. Wonderful memories!

pacificatiler.bsky.social•6 days ago

Ah, the good old days of corporate education.

wethepeoplestill.bsky.social•6 days ago

We need more of them

mwarren86.bsky.social•6 days ago

They also need to watch similiar songs PBS shows BETWEEN kids' shows. Kids act out and sing about voting, the states, the Constitution, the difference between a rule and a law, etc. Even have celebrities singing with them.

liannel.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don't need to. I can sing along.

happyd0330.bsky.social•6 days ago

Problem is are they dummied down enough for Trump supporters?

rjdio1.bsky.social•6 days ago

chuckoff.bsky.social•6 days ago

As a Canadian i can verify this is why i know more about the government systems in the US than that f/ing idiot, Trump, and equally as gormless, Elon Musk.
I passed a mock citizen test my cousin had me do when i was going to join the US navy with her in '84. I joined the Canadian Reserves instead.

duchessofdirt.bsky.social•6 days ago

I, happily, could sing em all to you…part of my “distract a dog” song repertoire at work. That and Sound of Music which is also suddenly vaguely relevant due to the Nazi thing

heyuguys8.bsky.social•6 days ago

To this day, I can only recite the preamble if I sing it.

drcrusty675.bsky.social•6 days ago

That’s how my friend and I passed the test in grade school. We practiced by singing the song.

thegoldfishmind.bsky.social•6 days ago

My first post on Bluesky last November was Schoolhouse Rock. We seriously should have kept that whole series going because people seriously don't understand the fundamentals.

notdoingthis.bsky.social•6 days ago

Loved that show!

AND MORE! In easy to digest words to music for elementary kids!

ddagger2024.bsky.social•6 days ago

I still use Schoolhouse Rock songs to remember things.

alicia0001.bsky.social•6 days ago

Darn! I can't choose between "Conjunction Junction" and "I'm just a Bill".

sherryhamill.bsky.social•6 days ago

Part of the one about the Mayflower has been looping in my head: "No more kings! We're going to elect us a president! No more kings! He's going to do what the people want!" *I miss that.*
