Shakin' it up for Round 8. Instead of a contest, let's have a collaboration.I've thrown out a clue: Schoolhouse Rock. Now y'all give me lines. One per comment, and one comment per day, please.
No googling! Let's see how deeply we can milk our memories for lines from Schoolhouse Rock.
Shall we see if we can get to 20?
By entering a line in a comment, you are eligible to grab the LCT button and add it to your bloggy bling. You can either copy the image and link to this hyperlink, or get the code here.
Now. How long will it take for Lolly and her adverbs to get here?

I'm just a bill,
Yes I'm only a bill..
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
(I hope you were meaning the Schoolhouse Rock from Saturday mornings!)
Someone from my loss group actually mentioned this Schoohouse Rock episode at one of our meetings. Here's the line that's haunted me since then:
A man & a woman had a little baby
They had three...
They had threeeee in the family
It's a magic number.
That's called taxation without representation.
And THAT's NOT FAIR!
(It's wrong! It's wroooong!)
Three, it's a magic number...
The Election Connection!
I actually saw a commercial for this yesterday.
Figure 8 is double 4.
So sorry to put the whole thing but I sang this in a talent show in grade school and it is one of those things that you just never forget. My boys laugh at me because I can still sing it and sing it fast...
sadly it is not the only one that I know by heart...
Well, every person you know,
And every place that you can go,
And anything that you can show,
You know they're nouns.
A noun's a special kind of word,
It's any name you ever heard,
I find it quite interesting.
A noun's a person, place, or thing.
Oh, I took a train, took a train to another state.
The flora and fauna that I saw were really great.
I saw some bandits chasin' the train.
I was wishin' I was back home again.
I took a train, took a train to another state.
Well, every person you can know, like a bandit or an engineer
And every place that you can go, like a state or a home
And anything that you can show, like animals and plants or a train
You know they're nouns - you know they're nouns, oh...
Mrs. Jones is a lady on Hudson Street.
She sent her dog to bark at my brother and me.
We gave her dog a big fat bone,
And now he barks at Mrs. Jones.
She's a lady who lives on Hudson Street.
Well, every person you can know, Mrs. Jones, a lady, or a brother
And every place that you can go, like a street or a corner
And anything that you can show, like a dog or a bone
You know they're nouns - you know they're nouns.
Oh, I took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty.
My best friend was waitin' there for me. He took an early ferry.
We went for a walk on the island you know,
And in the middle of summer it started to snow,
When I took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty.
Well, every person you can know, like a friend or the captain of a ship
And every place that you can go, an island or a sea
And anything you can show, like a statue, a ferry, or snow
You know they're nouns - you know they're nouns
Oh, I put a dime in the drugstore record machine.
Oldie goldies started playing if you know what I mean.
I heard Chubby Checker, he was doin' the twist
And the Beatles and the Monkees, it goes like this!
I put a dime in the drugstore record machine.
Well, every person you can know, the Beatles and the Monkees, Chubby Checker
And every place that you can go, like a neighborhood or a store
And anything that you can show, like a dime or a record machine
You know they're nouns.
A noun's a special kind of word
It's any name you ever heard.

A noun is a person, place, or thing.
I don't know how you people do this stuff. (said in the most complimentary way).

Lori, I'm so loving this! AFTER I posted I Googled and got a good laugh. My SIL has a dog named Rufus and I've always called him Rufus Xavier Sasparilla, but I couldn't remember where it came from.. SHR, of course! LOL!
Yep, they need to bring back the classics.. that does not mean Knight Rider.. like SHR and "Battle Of the Network Stars", etc. :o)
We the people, in order to form a more perfect union . . . Schoolhouse Rock is how I learned the Constitution.
My hero zero, such a funny little hero...
Oh, the memories. Love this!
I can actually sing every history and english one ever made. But I'll offer a science one:
"I'm a machine, you're a machine."
When you're in the dark and you want to see, you need electricity.
Talking about Schoolhouse Rock has brought back so many memories. Anyone remember The Electric Company or Zoom (Boston Mass 02134)
I'm out. they got em all.
Tina.. I wanna Zoom Zoom Zooma Zoom. I wanna Zooma Zooma ZOOM! that and oh ay, THE ELECTRIC COMPANY ROCKED.
:o)
Sorry, I just a blabber mouth today..

You already used it but my fave is:
Lolly, lolly, lolly
Get your adverbs here...
I once taught "Planetary Janet" to 3rd graders. But I don't remember it from the originals.
Last year, I won the whole Schoolhouse Rock CD set in a fund raising silent auction. I thought I'd be dating myself by ever mentioning Schoolhouse Rock, but looks like I'm in good company! Well, everyone else took the ones I remember the most, except for one. It may not be original, but it's the only reason I know this piece of our American history:
"We the people, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare an-and, secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. Do ordain and establish this constitution, for-or-or the United States oh-of A-meri-ca!"
Oh crap, someone took mine already (previous comment)! Ok, here's another, since we're in the political zone...
"And we were sufferin' until suffrage..."
(this song has so much soul - it rocks!)
I'm gonna send your vote to college,
When you vote for president,
And if you'll let me share some knowledge,
You'll understand this big event!
Darn! That's the end.
A hanker for a hunk of, a slab or slice or chunk of, I hanker for a hunk of cheese...
Does anyone remember that one?
Thanks to Schoolhouse Rock, I can sing the preamble...
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Or, how about this one...
Inner planet Janet, she's a galaxy girl...
