Free Music Notes for Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks
Free Music Review: Young & Old love it
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this CD when it first came out over 10 years ago. LOVED it for the sentimental value with the modern twist to it. I adore this version of Mr. Morton. And listen to the Energy Blues and realize just how far we still are from solving the energy crisis 31 years after that song was written! Anyway, over 10 years later my well worn School House Rock! Rocks CD is still scratch and skip free and the most played CD in the car as my 5 & 6 yr old now LOVE it. This is no cheesy kids' CD. I've listened to it at least a thousand times and will keep right on listening to it for many more years to come. At 5 my son already knows his 3's multiplication tables and my 6 yr old knows what adjectives and conjunctions are - terms they just don't teach you in 1st grade writing yet! And Zero is our hero!! One of the best CDs I've ever purchased!

Genre: ROCK/POP COLLECTIONS
The beauty of Schoolhouse Rock in its original Saturday morning run (1973-85) was that kids watching couldn't tell whether the catchy three-minute cartoon jingles were meant to be commercials, shows, or something else entirely. That enabled overexposed TV youth to learn without realizing it between episodes of Scooby Doo and Fat Albert. Then the Brady Bunch generation became the alternative nation, and the innocence with which they took in these grammar, history, and math lessons was lost. Now comes the obligatory tribute album, Schoolhouse Rock Rocks--pleasant enough, but full of postmodern yuks and missed-the-point nostalgia that aim to celebrate but instead drain the joy from childhood memories.
Though it's somewhat interesting to hear Pavement turn "Mo More Kings" into lo-fi krautrock or Moby make "Verb: That's What's Happening" into industrial techno-pop, the performers who most successfully preserve Schoolhouse Rock's edutainment viability are those who are most cartoonish to begin with: Ween ("The Shot Heard 'round the World"), Biz Markie ("The Energy Blues"), and Daniel Johnston ("Unpack Your Adjectives"). The problem remains, nonetheless: Any revamping of these songs implies Schoolhouse Rock somehow needed to be made hipper. That none of these songs is better than its original proves how very unhip '70s kids have grown up to be. --Roni Sarig
