Summary

"Conjunction Junction, what's your function? If you don't recognize those five little words, then you weren't camped out in front of the television set every Saturday morning from 1973 to 1985. Those catchy, jazzy tunes from Schoolhouse Rock! taught millions of us the fundamentals of math, grammar, science, and history. We learned how a bill becomes a law in I'm Just a Bill, the planets of our solar system in Interplanet Janet, how to turn an adjective into a perfectly good adverb in Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here. Plus we unknowingly memorized the Preamble to the Constitution! A blast from the past, Schoolhouse Rock! The Updated Official Guide includes the unforgettable lyrics and memorable moments from the original segments and the later inclusions, such as: My Hero, Zero, Three Is a Magic Number, Figure Eight, Conjunction Junction, Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here, Interjections!, Telegraph Line, A Victim of Gravity, Interplanet Janet, Suffering 2019; Till Suffrage, The Preamble, I'm Just a Bill, Dollars and Sense, Tyrannosaurus Debt. Sprinkled with facts and behind-the-scenes trivia, Schoolhouse Rock!
