About the Schoolhouse Rock — Conjunction Junction
Bob Dorough's scat-jazz-influenced grammar lesson, sung by Jack Sheldon over a railroad-yard whistle-and-rhythm arrangement. The Schoolhouse Rock series ran inside ABC Saturday-morning programming for two decades and produced an extraordinary catalogue of one-take educational pop singles, of which this cue and "I'm Just a Bill" remain the most quoted.
