Title: Fun Songs + Nostalgia Value
Review: I certainly wouldn't know the preamble to the Constitution if it weren't for seeing "School House Rock" on Saturday Mornings. I guess it's a testament to these videos that I could sing it on demand, though I probably haven't heard it for 25 years. I'm sure nostalgia value is a big seller for parents who buy these. (Did anyone see the wonderful parody they did of "I'm Just A Bill" on The Simpsons? It was about adding a flag burning amendment to the Consitition: "They're a buch of damn hippies, and I want to defeat 'em. I want to make it legal for policemen to beat 'em. Oh I want to be a law someday!)Anyway, some people have questioned the idea of teaching something as complex as history by catchy songs. They're probably right, but that doesn't mean that these videos aren't worthwhile as far as they go. They're certainly a lot of fun!
