“Conjunction Junction, what’s your function?” From 1973 to 1985, the catchy, jazzy tunes from Schoolhouse Rock! taught millions of us the fundamentals of math, grammar, science, and history. We learned how a bill becomes a law in “I’m Just a Bill,” the planets of our solar system in “Interplanet Janet,” how to turn an adjective into a perfectly good adverb in “Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here.” Plus we unknowingly memorized the Preamble to the Constitution! In Schoolhouse Rock! The Updated Official Guide, you’ll find facts, behind-the-scenes trivia, memorable moments, and the unforgettable lyrics from the original musical segments as well as the additional musical shorts that were added on later. This blast from the past includes favorites like My Hero Zero, Three Is a Magic Number, Figure Eight, Conjunction Junction, Lolly Lolly Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here, Interjections!, Telegraph Line, A Victim of Gravity, Interplanet Janet, Sufferin’ Till Suffrage, The Preamble, I’m Just a Bill, Dollars and Sense, and Tyrannosaurus Debt, just to name a few. 112 pages, hardcover.
