Three is a magic number.
Yes it is, it's a magic number.
Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity
You get three as a magic number.
The past and the present and the future,
Faith and hope and charity,
The heart and the brain and the body
Give you three.
That's a magic number.


I'm in.

Word on the street is that they use 'I'm just a bill' as a quick civics refresher for new electees to Congress. No joke.

thanks Jokersmoker

[NeoMadHatter]

[rcraig]

Is there a site that lists which SHR videos are on this or is all of them on it? I think there are 4 VHS tapes that contain all the clips that you can rent.

Ah, the memories...

Lolly, lolly lolly get your adverbs here...

Interjection. HEY!!! It's not fair to give a guy a shot down there!

And thank goodness this release won't have the horrid singing and dancing by Cloris Leachman and a group of smarmy little kids that plagues the VHS releases.

From school-house-rock.com:

In 1987, Golden Book Video released Schoolhouse Rock on tape. But things weren't quite the same. Actress Cloris Leachman and a litter of annoying, singing children now introduced the timeless segments, and to make room for Cloris and the gang, some spots, including "Three Ring Government," "The Good Eleven" and "Little Twelve Toes" were not included on the videos. Tom Yohe deeply regrets the omissions. Regarding Cloris Leachman, he says, "She's just hideous. She is the antithesis of what we wanted to do."

In reference to the Golden Book Video releases in general, Dorough states, "The quality is poor and there is also some new, inappropriate and inferior material not written by me and more or-less sung by Cloris Leachman and some kids." Dorough also makes a point of noting that he "hasn't gotten any royalties from these videos yet."

VERB!!!!! That's what's HAPPENIN!!!

Excellent.

This is the only reason I can recite the preamble to the Constitution.

 

[rcraig]

Soundboy: Thanks for that url to the article. It answered all my questions. I'm in. Linked

Yepper: My wife can't say the preamble to the constitution without singing it. She learned it the same way as you!

Bah ... I *own* these videos, and everything said about them is true. Lucky for me, I had prosumer VCRs and created a copy with those insipid kids snipped out.

Hey, anyone wanna buy these, cheap?

 

[Soldat]

thanks for the tip...i think i'll pick this up. My kids will probably hate it though : )

 

[Boomer2]

My kids loved the VHS version...after we rid them of the new garbage they put in. I forget which song they had some recent rock group do; but it sucked.

From the product page the link points to:
=============
Bonus Content:
All-new song: "I'm Gonna Send Your Vote to College"
=============

Umm...I don't want any new crap some agenda-driven media wonk shoved in there. I want the original stuff and that is it.

More editing....

 

[rcraig]

Boomer2:
The new stuff in the Videos was produced by someone other than the original writers and animators. The person who created School House Rock said the new stuff stank. This All-new song: "I'm Gonna Send Your Vote to College" is about the Electorial College, which may be needed to explain a few things after the last election, and is by the creator and original animators of School House Rock, so it should be of the same quality and style. We can hope...

[Shagger]

I am down - My guys love the cd's with the songs on them so they'll go for this too I hope.

VERB! That's what's happenin', I can take a noun and bend it! I can take a noun and really send it!

Whatever happened to the stage play created by and performed by the original song writer? Who was he BTW?

 

[Shagger]

30 YEARS? Holy crap, what the hell happened to the past 30 years... Makes me kinda sad
The world has changed soooooooooo much in the past 30 years!

 

[TheCoop]

I'm just a bill sitting on Capitol hill. They signed you bill, you're a law, Oh Yeah!

Conjunction, conjunction, what's your function?

I hanker for a hunk of cheese, a slip a slab achunka, hanker for a hunka cheeeeeese!
