I grew up watching these on Saturday morning television, and I swear… these songs pop into my head even now when I’m writing.
But now that I’m a bit older (with some more musical perspective), I can tell who they’re mimicking with the song styles, too.
Grammar nerd + music nerd = pure bliss.
I.Love.Those.Cartoons.
I still occasionally kick myself after seeing a DVD at Walmart containing all those shorts, including the US civics and history lessons, but I failed to purchase it on the spot.
Ohmygoodness! I loved those. I thought I was the only person on earth (other than my brother and sister) who remember these things. My absolute favourite is Interjections! (hey! That’s not fair, giving a guy a shot down there!)
I DID buy the DVD years ago (ordered it online from chapters, I believe).
Thanks Meg.
