Free Music Notes for Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks
Free Music Review: good but inappropriate
Hit: 4 Stars
All i'm going to say about this disc is that its really cool music, and its a fun homage for someone who specifically grew up with SHR and who is into indie music in their "adulthood", but this CD doesnt work for kids today. I would feel really awkward and uncomfortable playing Chavez's version of "Little 12-toes" to my neice, yet i wouldnt mind rocking out to it in my car. So in a nutshell, this disc is not really for kids, its for the kids who have already grown up.Free Music Review: What a disappointment
Hit: 1 Stars
I had purchased this CD for my students so that I might share with them some of the songs from my past that helped me to learn. It wasn't even close to what I remembered. But the truly disappointing part was that the words in the booklet didn't match the songs on the disc and it is difficult to sing along with these versions. If you are hoping to reminisce with your students or children of your own, don't buy this disc.Free Music Review: Best Educational Show Ever!!

I remember watching School House Rock when i was younger. I wouldnt have remembered the Preamble if it werent for the song.. I sang it in class and passed!! =) These skits should be put back on the air for the kids today , they have nothing like these for their entertainment nowadays.. I think they were the best learning tool ever. LisaFree Music Review: Know what you're buying

DON'T buy this album yet! If you think this is the original Schoolhouse Rock, it's not. (Given some of the reviews below, apparently some people are a little too quick on the "buy" button while visiting Amazon.com.) If you're looking for the originals, there's several different versions of the original recordings available at Amazon. Go up to the search window, type in "schoolhouse" and go buy one of them.THIS album is actually a mid-1990s remake disk, with various "alternative" and otherwise bands doing their riffs on the original Schoolhouse Rock. Some of the tracks -- Biz Markie's languid "Electricity" -- are a real hoot, some -- the Lemonheads' "My Hero, Zero" -- are very faithful to the original, and a few -- "Little Twelvetoes" by Chavez -- are just kind of a mess.
A similar album, "Saturday Morning Cartoons' Greatest Hits," is much more successful, with a better category of performer generally -- some of the performers on this seem to be there for their brand name recognition, not for any particular ability on their part -- and a wider selection of television tunes to choose from.
Having said that, so long as you know what you're getting here (a novely album of Schoolhouse Rock COVERS by 1990s' alternative rockers), this is a fun album for your collection ... especially if you already own the aforementioned "Saturday Morning Cartoons' Greatest Hits" CD.
Free Music Review: Not what you remember
Hit: 1 Stars
This CD is awful and my kids hate it. If you are expecting the understandable tunes you remember from childhood -THIS IS NOT IT!! It is much to "rock" for the tastes of my children. I intend to file it someplace and try purchasing the other CD's. This one was a HUGE disappointment, particularily after the build up I gave it before we listened to it.
