    Very fond memories of these. I still know a bunch of those songs. The multiplication tables got me through math classes. The Preamble song helped me pass a history test.

    Thank you Schoolhouse Rock.

      Oh man, you just hear the names of some of those tunes and they pop into your head. The man had skills.

        Yeah, one or two of the songs pops out of my head at least once a week. RIP and thank you.

          I think another thing that helped you remember these was his voice.

                    CNN has a story about Bob Dorough this morning just before 6am. Talked about him and his iconic influence with his compositions for Schoolhouse Rock. It was great to see.

                      Just this weekend I was reciting in my head the Lolly, Lolly, Lolly song to help my son describe what an adverb is. RIP.
                      It's all good!

                          My two favorites as a kid; still remember them today.
