Schoolhouse Rock!! How could I not know about this?
Apparently, “Schoolhouse Rock originally aired on the ABC Television Network from 1973 to 1985. This classic series of three-minute educational vignettes combined animation, hip music, and catchy lyrics to tackle lessons in American history, the rules of grammar, multiplication tables, science, government, and finance. Its toe-tapping lyrics entered a generation’s lexicon and, four Emmy Awards later, its melodies are still a pop-culture frame of reference common to an astounding number of under-30 Americans” Oh! That’ll be it then - I’m not an under-30 American!! (I’m not even an under-30 Brit, but we won’t go there!).
Many thanks to Stephanie for putting me onto this - the children and I have had a fun week full of Schoolhouse Rock ‘coffee-breaks’! Here are some of our favourites from Youtube:
