A List Of Best To Worst Schoolhouse Rock Videos
Picshype

In grade school, I vividly remember watching all of the "Schoolhouse Rock" videos on repeat. I actually had a DVD with all of the videos on them and I would just watch them for fun because that's how much I loved it. I do still watch these videos from time to time and I enjoy them like I'm watching them for the first time. You get the same learning experience every time you watch the video. I came up with the idea for this article when I was scrolling through ABC's throwback section on their watch ABC app. They had numerous "Schoolhouse Rock videos," so why not put them in order of best to worst (in my opinion). (For the purpose of the list, I have decided to exclude the Earth Rock songs as I did not realize they were a thing until I wrote this article)

Numbers 1-10:

All of the songs that I have listed as 1-10 I think are some of the most recognizable songs in all of Schoolhouse Rock. They might not necessarily be my favorite but if you ask someone what "Schoolhouse Rock" is and they don't know, play one of these songs and they will definitely recognize at least one of them. There are a lot of Grammar rock and Multiplication rock that make up the top 10, probably because it is so catchy.

1. Lolly, Lolly, Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here


2. Interjections!

3. Conjunction Junction

4. I'm Just A Bill


5. Three Is A Magic Number


6. Electricity, Electricity

7. The Preamble

8. The Shot Heard 'Round The World

9. Interplanet Janet

10. Figure Eight

Numbers 11-20:

The next ten videos are still recognizable but it takes someone who knows "Schoolhouse Rock" a bit to know these videos. Again, Grammar Rock and Multiplication Rock kind of dominate this section but I brought in some Science Rock and Money Rock as well. "Tyrannosaurus Debt" is probably the only one that is controversial here but I think it's one of the better videos which is why I placed it in this section.

11. Ready or Not, Here I Come

12. My Hero, Zero

13. Unpack Your Adjectives

14. The Great American Melting Pot


15. Telegraph Line

16. Elementary, My Dear

17. Verb: That's What's Happenin'

18. Tyrannosaurus Debt

19. Dollars And Sense

20. A Noun Is A Person, Place Or Thing

Numbers 21-30:

There is a lot of History Rock videos listed in these ten videos. I would think that's because the History Rock videos, while being really well done, were never quite as popular. There are some Grammar Rock videos that made it here too and I rounded out this section with some Science Rock because Them Not-So-Dry Bones is such a quality video. I've seen on other lists that Sufferin' Till Suffrage has been placed higher up but I just wasn't a big fan of the video to put it any higher on the list.

21. No More Kings

22. Elbow Room

23. Naughty Number Nine

24. Busy Prepositions

25. Them Not-So-Dry Bones

26. Mother Necessity

27. Fireworks

28. A Victim Of Gravity

29. Sufferin' Till Suffrage

30. The Tale Of Mr. Morton

Numbers 31-40:

As I get further down the list, I find it easier and easier to put them into a list because I either really like the video or I really dislike the video. Most of them left are Science Rock or Money Rock as well so they're very easy to put into a list. I don't really think there are any controversies on this part of the list because I think all of them are lower list material.

31. The Body Machine

32. Tax Man Max

33. Lucky Seven Sampson

34. Three Ring Government

35. $7.50 Once A Week

36. Do The Circulation

37. I'm Gonna Send Your Vote To College

38. This For That

39. I Got Six

40. Where The Money Goes

Numbers 41-49:

I finally reached the end of the list and as I said for the earlier section, I found this to be pretty easy to order. I think the only thing people would disagree with is "Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla." People really like that song but I just don't think it was very well done. I just don't really like that song.

41. Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla

42. The Check's In The Mail

43. Walkin' On Wall Street

44. The Four Legged Zoo

45. The Good Eleven

46. The Energy Blues

47. Little Twelvetoes

48. Presidential Minute

49. The Greatest Show On Earth

Overall, I think everyone can agree that "Schoolhouse Rock" is great no matter how old you are. You can always watch these videos and learn something from them, which is fascinating. We can disagree on what videos are better than others but Schoolhouse Rock will always have a special place in my brain.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
