There were so many of them, I couldn't set up a poll. My personal favorite is "Conjunction Junction".

[arwalden]

1. Lolly Lolly Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here.... and.... Interjections!

[CanuckAmok]

6. I like "Elbow Room"...

...gotta teach that imperialism early, while it still makes sense.

I always wondered how Shooolhouse Rock was able to push both absolutes (science and math) with debateable political ideology...

But maybe I'm reading too much into it.

[Shakespeare]

11. Eh....I think you're reading too much into it.

Westward expansion is part of our history, for good or ill. Besides, how can you not love a song that give you all of the following information:

--Louisiana purchase
--Louis & Clark expedition
--Sacajawea! (no clue on the spelling)
--manifest destiny
--transcontinental railroad
--California gold rush
--space travel

[CanuckAmok]

13. It's the Moon or bust, in God we trust, there's a new land up there...

Mmmm, hmm...."Westward expansion"? Or perhaps MANIFEST DESTINY GALACTIC IMPERIALISM?!

[Shakespeare]

16. Well, since we're not seeing a moon base anytime soon....

...that line doesn't get me too worked up. ;-)

[CanuckAmok]

18. Did someone say "moon base"?! That reminds me of the Mars Mission...

GWB’s Monorail, sung to the tune of “The Springfield Monorail Song”:


GWB: “Well, there’s nothing on Earth like a genuine, Senate-approved, citizen-funded, porkbarrel of a Mars Mission”

GWB: “What’d I say?”

Public: “WMDs?!”

GWB: “Once again!”

Public: “Deficit?!”

GWB: “One more time!”

Public (reluctantly) “Uh…Mars Mission…mars mission…mars mission….”

Citizen: “Is there a chance we’ll over-spend?”

GWB: “Count on it, sucker…I mean ‘friend’!”

Citizen: “What about our deficit?”

GWB: “HA! I don’t believe in it!”

Citizen: “I hear those things are awfully costly.”

GWB: “Sorry sir, I think you’ve lost me”

Citizen: “We need that cash for social programs”

GWB: “In space, our problems will weigh no grams!”

Citizen: “Do you think this gets you in to heaven?”

GWB: “(mumble…mumble)…Nine-Eleven!

GWB: C’mon you know you have no choice, throw up your hands and hold your voice”

All: MARS MISSION, MARS MISSION, MARS MISSION!!”

Citizen: “but who on earth is going to fund it?”

GWB: Don’t ask me, just trust the pundits!”

All: MARS MISSION! MARS MISSION! MARS MISSION!

2. I'm Just a Bill..... n/t

[htuttle]

3. I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill

And I'm sitting here on capitol hill.

:)

(I was kind of a policy wonk when I was a kid...)

[Liberal Veteran]

4. The Preamble....

My favorite.

[Political_Junkie]

19. Yep, mine too.

Schoolhouse Rock helped me pass more than a few tests in school.

[Catfight]

5. Unpack your adjectives!

[Nevernose]

7. Conjunction junction, what's your function?

My 9th grade English teacher claimed to have written that for a contest (which he won), but we all suspected him of being a liar.

[swag]

8. Tie between "Conjunction Junction" and "Lolly"

[Kadie]

9. Remember that guy with the wobbly knees

feeling kind of week in the knees, hankering for a hunk of cheese.

Bwahahahahaha

I just thought of that and cracked myself up. Excuse me, please continue.

[CanuckAmok]

12. That was "Time for Timer"

Hey, here's orange juice and milk and toast,
Just waiting to be taken,
And bless my soul,
Right Here's a bowl,
With one cold piece of steak in.
A hard boiled egg,
A chicken leg,
Or cheese or luncehon meat,
Or a peanut-butter sandwich any time of day's a treat,
So to stop your mother grumblin',
And stop your stomach grumblin',
And to keep your legs fro stumblin' when you play,
You've gotta eat some kind of breakfast everyday.


Cold steak or a chicken leg for breakfast? No wonder the seventies are over!

[Kadie]

14. Thank you!

I couldn't think of anything but the knees and cheese.

[pocket]

10. Ween's cover of "The shot heard Round the World"

kicks ass

[Shakespeare]

15. Just too many good ones to choose from.

Three is a Magic Number
Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla
Tale of Mr. Morton
Preamble
Noun Is a Person, Place or Thing
Conjunction Junciton
I'm Just a Bill
No More Kings
Sufferin' Till Suffrage

Now the NEXT question is--is anybody so sentimental that they get choked up by any of these? For me, it's No More Kings.
