11. I swear I don't remember that one
Did I block it intentionally? I will admit, I have more memory of the grammar songs.

6. I wonder how many people in their 30's
know the preamble to the US constitution because of SHR? I'm one of them.
Sometimes I have to sing those songs to remember my m'cation tables.

12. No More Kings
I LOVE those old School House Rock. I even got the DVD. AND I make people watch it. People who aren't drunk, stoned or otherwise incapacitated. People who may or may not want to watch it.

23. Then I'm a thieving nerd. Cool!
Many years back I was reminded of the School House Rocks and went a-searching on the web. Found several sites that had a variety of them available in movie formats for free download. So I did.

VERY soon after all those sites disappeared, as the people with the rights had decided to make the DVDs and sell them.

When I have the excess funds I'll likely get the DVDs, as the movie files I got are of various quality, almost none of which are very good. :( Some pretty clearly videos shot off TV screens, and/or 3rd or greater generation copies. I imagine the DVD's are much clearer and thus worth the money. I just don't have the money right now.

And no, I won't make mine available. Rights is rights. Sorry.
