Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
The horn-backed swing of "Fireworks" will charm the ear of countless Gen-X listeners and their parents, as will most of this historically themed collection of songs from the ingeniously educational Schoolhouse Rock animations. Lyricists Lynn Ahrens and jazz vocal great Bob Dorough make fine yarns out of a (homogenized) overall narrative of the United States, which all seems pretty peachy in this context. This isn't a set to teach the nuances or vagaries of U.S. history, but "I'm Just a Bill" can leave kids in the single digits tracking the progress of legislation and asking what suffering and suffrage have to do with each other ("Sufferin' Till Suffrage") and inquiring about the Bill of Rights. The music is gentle but never silly or unlikable. Like that of the other volumes in the Schoolhouse Rock series, this CD's length is brief, but these themed packages seem to bear their pithy contents well. --Andrew Bartlett



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Catchy tunes & fond childhood memoriesnost
Not only do these tunes bring back fond memories, they're musically fun. And in case I'd forgotten any of the things they teach, I can learn them all over again. Lots of fun.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I loved these as a kid, still do
Man, am I glad I bought this when it first became available, as the current prices are outrageous, but I still love these songs.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Schoolhouse Rock! sings about U.S. history and government
All right, boys and girls, here is a little ditty that has got to jog your memory if only you are old enough:

I'm just a bill,
Yes, I'm only a bill,
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital city,
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a law someday...
At least I hope and pray that I will,
But today I'm still just a bill.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Hey, Do You Know About The USA?
I love these songs. My fifth grade social studies teacher taught us the
Preamble song, and now I'm going to sing the thing in the day camp talent show!!! Get this CD! It's worth the cash!
