Schoolhouse Rock owns the bragging rights to being the hippest musical vehicle to elementary education. Grammar Rock is a particularly compelling volume, bringing jazz vocal legend Bob Dorough to the lyrical table, untangling the secrets of the English language in a way that's both entertaining and instructive. The music is never less than humorously beguiling, comfortable in its simplicity and yet unafraid to dance outside the lines. Yes, the music sounds a tad manufactured, but this is the soundtrack for Generation X's early education. And, yes, this is a short CD--clocking in at 27 minutes--but it's not about length, it's about ideas. --Andrew Bartlett

The song most imbeded in my brain of this collection? It has to be "The Noun Song" - I never forgot what a noun was because of this song. I actually like "Mr. Morton" about predicates; this is not one of the originals from the 70's - in fact I'd never heard it before I bought the DVD - but I think this song has the best story line of ANY of the songs, and I like the melody! Also love "Interjections."
Not my favorite: "Conjuction Junction." They over-played this during its initial run in ... Read More

this stuff still kicks my ass 30 years later. i grew up on these songs and was amazed a few years back when i heard them again - they are great!
a couple of notes: 'busy prepositions' and 'mr. morton' are recent LAME additions to this collection. it might be the original artists, but the new stuff don't work. why tarnish the perfect collection from way back when?
buy the cd anyway. the original songs are incredible.
also: whoever is posting "reviews" for all ... Read More

When it comes to the rules of grammar I know the difference between an independent and a dependent clause and that is about it. If you want to talk about the building blocks of sentences I really do not even know the basics (you only had to go up and diagram sentences on the board if you were not putting them together directly and I was reading books all the time and sort of picked up correct sentence structure by osmosis, so I know how to fix sentences even if I am totally incapable of explaining the ...

School House Rock is etched in my brain. These are tools I wish to share in the future with my kids. Saturday mornings in the 70's & 80's were fun as well as educational. I found myself looking forward to the breaks in-between cartoons to sing along with School House Rock. This series was especially helpful during tests. I would replay the jingles in my mind to help me to answer problems correctly!!
