      A man was serving a life sentence in prison. He made a deal with the devil if he got him out and made him rich and famous he would spend his life worshipping him. That man got out and started one the biggest bands still known today..the beatles. That man was John Lennon.

    This song is EXACTLY how I learned The preamble of The Constitution. As a college professor, I use Schoolhouse Rock to teach my community college students the basics of how our government is SUPPOSED to work. I will always love SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK!!!

    In a week I'll turn 60. Growing up in the seventies school house rock was the best teaching tool around. I still sing and remember so many of the episodes, anytime you put music and facts in a condensed form like that, it makes it fun. God bless those who came up with that concept! 👍👌

I just celebrated 10 years since graduation from high school and I’m thankful for this now as I was then. I’ve never forgotten one word.

I looked him dead in the eye and recited the entire preamble, which I knew thanks to this song, and told him that if he was going to try to cite the constitution to make sure he had his facts straight before he did.

    I heard this song ONCE during my 4th grade history class and still sing it to this day (im 29 now). The one thing I always get out of this experience is: I'll never understand why my brain choose to engrave this in my memory. I thought I dreamt or made this whole thing up because it was such a blur and a onetime moment until I finally looked it up and lo and behold....it's real. Any neuroscientist or psychologist here feel free to give your interpretation why brains just love holding on to catchy phrases/songs cuz it's beyond me..
