Schoolhouse Rock - "I'm Just a Bill"

[@marcuswatson4910]

Finally I found one that doesn’t have comments blocked lol.

[@jorjahpeach1711]

The impact this had on my generation is amazing!!! What a legacy, R.I.P. Jack Sheldon!!!

[@Juliamnl]

Even children's music was great back in the 70s

[@drescorpio1114]

kids need this on saturday mornings like we had.

[@curtiswillams4476]

DeAndre Taylor word up!!!

[@The1baddman]

They should but unfortunately everything is so politically incorrect now (no pun intended).

[@Grace-q9h]

They do, I agree. I had the misfortune of being born in 2007, thankfully tho my mom would play school of rock for me and my brothers for school when we were younger. I remember this one was always my favorite.

[@believensee8621]

RIP Bob Dorough....thanks for the memories and education!

[@timeout1958]

We were lucky to have this in our youth -- it could never happen in these times...

[@Scarletspeedster68]

Actually, Dave Frishberg wrote the lyrics for this song. Btw, RIP Jack Sheldon (1931-2019).

Bob Dorough began his career as a composer and jazz musician, but his most well-known work came during his tenure as musical director of ABC’s “Schoolhouse Rock!” (which originally aired between 1973 and 1985). The Saturday morning cartoon combined animation with catchy songs that helped teach children subjects like math, grammar, and history. Sadly we reported yesterday about the death of #BobDorough at age 94. #SchoolHouseRock was a solid influence on millions of Boomers!

[@AliceBrown-713]

RIP to the First Person that song about the truth and it soon came into existence! I'm looking for the one that song about the stimulus checks and coronavirus 😮😮

[@catsend]

Boomers? I’m Gen X! I grew up on School House Rock!

[@KamelaSSpivey]

These sure stick in kid's heads... I remember this being such a big part of my childhood!! I don't know why they don't use the schoolhouse Rock episodes in today's classrooms.

[@sonc_]

Kamela S. Spivey they do! My class does anyway.

[@KamelaSSpivey]

Sonic032407 I'm so glad to hear they haven't been totally forgotten!! They used to be plastered all over Saturday morning TV, so the students knew them by heart, and the mechanics of each principle was learned by repetition (or osmosis even!) at least. My teachers used them, and kudos to you for keeping them active!

[@sonc_]

Kamela S. Spivey I did a play called School House Rock Live! So i know Elbow room by heart.

[@Name-gb8nr]

They play it in my class

[@emperorconstantinexipalaio4121]

Kamela S. Spivey They played it in my class in fifth grade. Now I’m going to high school but still quite recent considering these were made in the 70’s-80’s.

[@beckykennedy6886]

RIP Jack Sheldon.

[@RobdaVegasMailman]

He signed you, Bill...now you're a LAW...OH YEAH!!! Rest in Peace, Mr. Dorough...and thanks for these great memories. :)

[@chickenvasquez78]

Man this is classic.

[@ncnative1]

R.I.P. Bob Donough and thanks

[@mikedski9698]

I'm Just A Bill Is The Best Song Of All Time.

[@dan_ryuga]

This is mine and my older sister's favorite song from schoolhouse rock we used to have it on VHS and DVD but we lost both of them but still we miss ev'ry videos from schoolhouse rock

[@ArtfulElements]

I talk about this all the time with my friends! I loved watching it as a kid and adult!! Wonderful Legacy Jack Sheldon ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@aprilkalcsa9336]

Love this!! Man I'm old, lol

[@kennyhuskisson2684]

April Kalcsa Man, such a long time ago, so much has happened since this came out, still remember it like it was yesterday morning, I'm 54 now, old,lol.

[@joeysilberstein7936]

Saturday mornings will never be the same. I couldn't get up for school but I was up early every Saturday for some Awsome cartoons

[@DuneCat32]

Probably one of the most influential things in my life. I can recite the preamble of the constitution. I can tell you what conjunctions go where. I can tell you about 3 being a magic number. I got math. No real mystery. I learned how to be a citizen of the world. I hope more spend time watching these with their children.

[@plantcitychuck2551]

Some of these tunes have been echoing in my head off and since i was a kid in the early 70's.

[@musicman201047]

This helped me learn the Preamble in civics class in high school.

[@egreenbery]

musicman201047.....me too, that's how I memorized "We the People, in order to form a more perfect union..."

[@skydiver5048]

Oh' Please Bring These Back !

[@andrewphillips8198]

My favorite of all the songs. Jack Sheldon's voice was primo good. But all thanks goes to the legend Bog Dorough. My favorite line in that jazzy voice when Bill says..." yes that's called a veto." So great. I remember these vividly as a 5 year old. I miss those days terribly. Life was simple and pleasant.

[@JLPOWELL1000]

Rest in peace Bob Dorough

[@angelabridgman9752]

They ABSOLUTELY need to bring this back to TV on Saturday mornings, like we had. I grew up on this stuff...and, as a six year old I learned the basics of how my government was supposed to work...at least as much as a precocious six year old could understand...but it got me interested in wanting to learn more, and ignited a love for my country in my heart. From when I first saw this, I knew I wanted to be a part of that process. And just this year, in 2020, at age 49, I filed to run for the North Carolina Senate. I became the first openly transgender woman in state history to do this. I did not win my Primary, but this was a first ever candidacy, and I do not think it will be my last.

[@kathleenkrug-byle1199]

Thank you for having closed captions. I was singing the preamble song during my SAT.

[@glorymosbyfloyd3878]

Ooohhh the memories

[@Bobman-ml5qf]

Who doesn't know this song or at least the lyric "I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill, and I'm sitting here at capital hill".

[@brianjude6789]

*(NUMBER 2):* And now, Number 2, the runner-up and still running strong: "I'm Just A Bill."

[@Bunilla331]

this was played so many times in my civics class xD

[@Roblox_baddie8366]

Listening to this for a school project heck yeah guys

[@nightowl3582]

I miss stuff like this, man. Highlight of Saturday morning.

[@roberthetrick8849]

God bless you jack Sheldon rest in peace

[@hustledude]

As a kid I always felt so sorry for that sad little bill.

[@ironeagle2526]

every kid should watch school house rock

[@TheScrltspdrslayer]

Used to watch this every Saturday morning, before the Real GhostBusters

[@TheOfficialIceman]

back when we actually wanted to get up early on a Saturday. I would love to be able to go back and relive those days

[@TheScrltspdrslayer]

I never wanted to get up (not a morning person) but I got up naturally, fully rested and without an alarm clock. Nowadays yer lucky if you get 6 hours of sleep. But I share yer sentiment, some people throw around the word "nostalgia" so much, but they don't really understand what a simpler time it was. The sun wasn't as hot as it is now, people were friendlier, most cartoons were better, your neighborhood was safer. I got to experience so much first hand, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, so many amazing movies, the NES, the SuperNES, amazing arcades

3:11 color background closing credits began in 1983. closing credits music for America Rock began in 1982 but in the original abc airing in '82-'83 only , the music lasted longer and the credits scrolled down below i.e. Grammar Rock or America Rock, etc.

Sigh...if only Congress and the current POTUS followed this. I miss those days.

[@herbpowell343]

*shrugs* If only a recent Congress and POTUS funded stuff like Schoolhouse Rock, but then people 20 years would be going "WTF?! Who voted for THIS?"

[@douglassfunnie9959]

Perhaps you can give an example of how Congress is violating 'this'?

[@3Rayfire]

I think what he means is that it seems like congress isn't passing anything nowadays.

[@albertcalleros9489]

in light of the recent death of jazz musician Jack Sheldon at the ripe old age of eighty-eight, the only 'silver lining' to this sad news is that he was afforded the opportunity to celebrate one final birthday on 30 November. in addition to "i'm just a Bill" (Legislative Process), the late Jack Sheldon also did other Schoolhouse Rock vignettes like: 'Conjunction Junction' (Syntax); 'Them Not-so Dry Bones' (Skeletal System); and 'Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla' (Pronouns). it is worth noting that the late Jack Sheldon himself provided voice work for several television commercials for Pepcid AC back in 1997 to the tune of 'Everybody Eats When They Come to My House' - "Everybody Eats When There's Pepcid AC."

The President can also neither sign nor veto. If he recommends a few changes, that's part of the process also.

I'm just an Executive Order. Done. Now I'm the law of the land. Screw the Constitution. Welcome to 2024.

[@shadowspider9]

That's not how it works at all. Corporations make large donations to congressmen and woman and if they donate a large enough amount to enough people those people will vote yes and signed into law. If they don't donate enough or if the corporations donate enough and tell then to say no then the bill dies.

[@KamelaSSpivey]

It sadly seems that way sometimes, doesn't it?

[@princessmarlena1359]

Pretty much.
