    I just took the AP world history test and wrote an essay comparing the American and French revolutions. I started singing this song in my head and it's what saved my essay from being complete trash

      Also, the French Revolution had started in 1789, just 13 years AFTER our country had DECLARED its INDEPENDENCE (also, the French Revolution started as we had our 1st President, George Washington)

    I loved these School House Rock cartoons as a kid. Sure they were simplistic - what would you expect from a 3min cartoon/song for 8 year olds?
    The simple catchy tunes stayed in my head. Even today, when I recite the preamble of the constitution, more often than not, I hear it in my head with the School House Rock music.

    Rockin' and a-rollin', splishin' and a-splashin',
    Over the horizon, what can it be?
    The pilgrims sailed the sea
    To find a place to call their own.
    In their ship Mayflower,
    They hoped to find a better home.
    They finally knocked
    On Plymouth Rock
    And someone said, "We're there."
    It may not look like home
    But at this point I don't care.
    Oh, they were missing Mother England,
    They swore their loyalty until the very end.
    Anything you say, King,
    It's OK, King,
    You know it's kinda scary on your own.
    Gonna build a new land
    The way we planned.
    Could you help us run it till it's grown?
    They planted corn, you know
    They built their houses one by one,
    And bit by bit they worked
    Until the colonies were done.
    They looked around,
    Yeah, up and down,
    And someone said, "Hurray!"
    If the king could only see us now
    He would be proud of us today.
    They knew that now they'd run their own land,
    But George the Third still vowed
    He'd rule them till the end.
    Anything I say, do it my way now.
    Anything I say, do it my way.
    Don't you get to feeling independent
    'Cause I'm gonna force you to obey.
    He taxed their property,
    He didn't give them any choice,
    And back in England,
    He didn't give them any voice.
    (That's called taxation without representation,
    And it's not fair!)
    But when the Colonies complained
    The king said: "I don't care!"
    He even has the nerve
    To tax our cup of tea.
    To put it kindly, King,
    We really don't agree.
    Gonna show you how we feel.
    We're gonna dump this tea
    And turn this harbor into
    The biggest cup of tea in history!
    They wanted no more Mother England.
    They knew the time had come
    For them to take command.
    It's very clear you're being unfair, King,
    No matter what you say, we won't obey.
    Gonna hold a revolution now, King,
    And we're gonna run it all our way
    With no more kings...
    We're gonna elect a president! (No more kings)
    He's gonna do what the people want! (No more kings)
    We're gonna run things our way! (No more kings)
    Nobody's gonna tell us what to do!
    Rockin' and a-rollin', splishin' and a-splashin',
    Over the horizon, what can it be?
    Looks like it's going to be a free country.

    So we all just gonna ignore the fact that:
    1) The King ate an entire chicken in one bite
    2) The King’s throne is outside and right against the shoreline
    3) It takes 5 seconds to cross the Atlantic Ocean
    4) The Atlantic Ocean is about 3 feet deep
    5) The King could see the colonist sticking out his tongue at him through that little ass telescope from across the Atlantic
    6) The Mayflower is about 1/10th the size of North America
    7) There were only 10 pilgrims
    8) There were only 2 Native Americans
    9) There were 3 soldiers in the entire British military
    10) The flagpole is more than 500 miles tall
    11) The colonists are about twice as tall as 2 story buildings
    12) The President “is gonna do what the people want”
    13) The worst thing the Sons of Liberty said about the taxes on tea was “we really don’t agree”
    14) A colonist could throw a bucket of tea across the entire Atlantic Ocean and hit the King
    15) The King’s clothes changed colors multiple times
