FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for January 21, 2025

If you ask my daughter for a state capital, she has to sing the whole Animaniacs song.

When my get up and go has got up and went,

I hanker for a hunk o’ cheese! :-D

Like the memorable ad for a product you can’t recall

Isn’t Con Junction where prisoners get together?

Ahh the good ole days. Im just a Bill is another one I remember. >

I remember enough to the song to know that the conjunctions are and, but, and or.

Lolly’s Lolly’s get your adverbs here.

My younger daughter was in a production of Schoolhouse Rock Live. Along with being in the chorus & a dancer, she got to yell, “Hooray! I’m for the other team!” which fits her personality to a T.

Oh I remember that! Helped my kids learn proper grammar.

What about some Elbow Room? Or Victim of Gravity? Three is a Magic Number?

He DID use normal words. In a catchy tune and easy way to remember. Schoolhouse Rock is a timeless classic.

Well of course Paige didn’t understand it, it wasn’t on a screen, she would have to actually pay attention to the words to understand the meaning.

I started singing before Roger did.

“A noun is a person, place, or thing” “Interjection shows excitement, or emotion they’re generally set apart from a sentence by an exclamation point or by a comma if the feeling isn’t strong.” Sure, I’m showing my age generation, but we really had some great stuff back then. Thanks Bill for the trip down Memory Lane.

Ahhh Schoolhouse Rock!! How I did Love those! Saturday mornings were the boss!

I can still only ‘recite’ the Preamble to the Constitution by singing it.

“And Pluto, little Pluto, is the farthest planet from the sun.” Well, sort of . . .

Best educational program there ever was.

M A double S A C H U S E double T S

This must have gone out of style just before I was old enough to learn it. I never learned that song!! But I hear it mentioned often… in comedy shows, comic stripts etc. I honestly wish I HAD learned it! I love language in general and this would have been a fun little song. That said, who else knows the “Fifty Nifty United States” song? Still know it verbatim. :D

And that was the perfect answer! :)

I think he just told you.

In chemistry class, sing Tom Lehrer’s periodic table song.

No sense of humor, she has.

I remember that song well…

Now PETTICOAT Junction, let’s not even go there…..

Schoolhouse Rock! Awesome!!!
