Okay, so this post was inspired by Kathy's awesome Share and Voice with the Sesame Street video clip. It got me thinking about which cartoons or shows from my childhood had the the catchiest songs that have stuck with me for years, and I realized that a favorite series of mine has always been Schoolhouse Rock! I adore Schoolhouse Rock, and those cartoons helped me memorize everything from multiplication tables to the Preamble to the United States Constitution. In fact, my siblings and I used to rent the complete set from the library just so we could sing along and drive our parents crazy!
Anyway, I was wondering if they ever had songs that talked about the environment, and I couldn't think of any. Slightly disappointed, I searched around online for awhile, and then I came across an exciting discovery! The creators of Schoolhouse Rock have come up with 13 new songs specifically about our environment, and the DVD comes out on March 31st!
If there are any other Schoolhouse Rock fans out there, you should definitely check out Schoolhouse Rock! Earth. This website even lets you see clips of some of the songs. Personally, I really like "Caron Sasquatch" and "The Little Things We Do". (Does anyone remember Mr. Morton from the subject and predicate song? He's in this one, too!)
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteWow...it's suprising that they took so long to come out with something related to the environment, but I'm glad it's on the way!
ReplyDeleteHaha I remember watching this! Best show ever! I'm glad they are shedding some light on the environment to the younger generation now.
ReplyDeleteI loved watching schoolhouse rock in school... every once in awhile I'll get some of the songs still stuck in my head :)
