(i don't know the original
artist) TWO WORDS: SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't anybody remember this tune from Saturday morning cartoons when they were a kid? There was a whole series of these little cartoon edutainment videos, one for every number 1-12, one for nouns, verbs ("verb, that's what's happenin'), adjectives, adverbs, interjections, conjunctions ('conjunction junction, what's your function"). They later branched out into areas of historic and governmental interest (remember "I'm just a bill, and I'm sittin' here on Capitol Hill,.....). There was a Schoolhouse rock "tribute" album recently released featuring your standard injection of "alterno radio" artists, each covering one of the schoolhouse rock tunes. I don't know the original artist(s), they were all probably written by some unknown songwriter. i know I can't be so old as to be the only person who remembers Schoolhouse Rock!? Halve Phun, James
