To this day, I can recite the entire preamble to the constitution because of his song.

When my kids study the constitution, they are amazed that I memorized the entire preamble and that I can still remember it. Then I sing it to them and they just become annoyed.

Schoolhouse Rock was a brilliantly executed series of educational videos and I'm a little bit smarter because of them.

I never really got into School House Rock. It always seemed like they were trying to use cartoons to fool me into learning.
