brought tears to my eyes ... great childhood memories

[@TaWandaJoyner]

Awesome, My eight year old niece sings this often! I am so glad that her teacher is using Schoolhouse Rock in her 3rd grade classroom!

[@profsteel8217]

Darn, I just realized this song did more for me than 8 years of catholic school math in the early 70’s!! Money well spent.

[@danielleslater2317]

I lived in a hi-rise apartment from 1996 to 2014 and was homeschooled from 2004-2018. One of my favorite childhood memories was playing the computer game Math Rock, which featured the songs from Multiplication Rock. That was how I learned about this song and many others in the Multiplication Rock series. Just hearing it again brings back so many memories! May Bob Dorough rest in heavenly peace!

[@Jeglinski]

This has to be one of the all-time classics. Love it, love Bob Dorough.

I never noticed until less than a minute ago-the Ark has an outboard motor!

[@Assisi4]

And a nice black umbrella ;-)

[@lenevee4925]

This song just came to my head while I was at work so I had to watch the video. The guy sounds like Paul Simon but I know it's not him. I loved school house Rock so much growing up.

[@allendrew50]

These songs were so helpful n school they made learning fun the memories thanks whoever uploaded them&KZbin I still daydream to figure 8 classic

[@HoneZtyEyeZ]

Whomever was singing this song was really feeling it! LOL! I learned by 2 times table by this! Thanks!

[@johnandlat]

I am a senior in college majoring in Elementary Education and I just purchased this record and I'm going to use it in my classroom once I start teaching. It's time to go back to the old school methods of teaching.

[@alcd6333]

Very nostalgic! RIP Mr. Bob Dorough: you taught me my multiplication tables!

[@arizonatsunami]

I like how the pandas are in a rickshaw, haha!

[@davidkonen7159]

I think ALL of the animals looked GREAT as they came out

[@kylestubbs8867]

Wait... Did any of the animals get back in the Ark before it started raining again?

[@dallasponder3396]

i might have if i was one of Noah's sons

[@zeonianking2983]

any one notice that both the moose had antlers, and both the Lions had manes

[@lizettewanzer8650]

Hahahaaaaaa

[@Tayamyre]

lol right, and it's only 1 female kangaroo and a baby

[@sydboski]

It's a cartoon.

What? Maybe Noah was accepting Homosexual couples too.

[@idunnobutyay2520]

This was in my head during my calculus class

[@lil_dak_1587]

I don't think I would have gotten through grade school without Schoolhouse Rock.

[@KayEllleKay]

Makes me remember watching it when I was little. I was raised in an Athiest home, and I never realized how religious based this was.

[@Leochic18]

Are you still Atheist?

[@Blondiechickie1972]

i miss my multiplication rock record, i am so glad all of the songs are on youtube :D

[@knowbodiesfull5768]

I like the way the tigers' tails formed the 3's and then the 6's.

[@PTMWontDie2]

The melody sounds so much like the Ground theme for Super Mario World for the Super NES. In fact the very beginning of this song is similar to the Yoshi's Island map theme!

[@Pangie120891]

Well, I just found a way to help my little brother with multiplication. Awesome!

[@1dgram]

S.S. Ark? I didn't know that they had steamships in biblical times! Thanks Schoolhouse Rock!

[@garnetz1731]

I just watched this Schoolhouse Rock video, and it is true that counting by twos is much easier, and this video of Noah's Ark shows it much more simpler. Great video, it was very fun to watch.

[@wanderlovesus7777]

We need more cartoons like this again!..

[@superpan218]

Noah's "robe" looks more like a raincoat. LOL

[@einsteinboricua]

What if I told you that within this video lies a Math Common Core lesson? Don't believe me? Skip to 1:54 The way they teach math under Common Core means they disassemble the number into smaller pieces and then add the results. Go to 2:36 and see another Common Core method to multiply a large number.

[@magik4353]

There's a minor example on the Figure 8 song as well.

[@96NightRider96]

i never knew this my entire life of 20 years. omg im crying rn im so happy

[@greenetomphson6164]

0:40 OMG WORLDS GREATEST MAGIC TRICK HANDS DOWN NOAH NEEDS AN AWARD FOR THIS MAGIC! Oh yeah, and for fitting trillions of animals on the same ship without sinking. That too... ...but THE MAGIC IS MORE IMPRESSIVE!

[@Biscuit-Triscuit]

Not only is that impressive but the fact that A. The girl in the red rain coat can float. And B. That two mice could carry a massive block of stone without being crushed to death

[@Tinlion09]

At 2:29, the ants’ 70 sign has the middle of the zero just floating in mid-air.

[@Tinlion09]

Alex Gamboa The ol’ classic finger transfer is perfect if you’ve got an infant coming at you and you need to throw them off long enough to escape. It has saved my life on several occasions. Truly Noah’s greatest miracle of all.

[@l.salisbury1253]

This actually sounds like a Spiritual...

[@lepoetress]

I didn't realize it until now how gospel influenced this was back then. All I knew was that I could multiple by 2 and had a way to remember it.

[@l.salisbury1253]

These School House Rock songs were great! They set the Preamble to the Constitution to music and, as a result, I can now recite that by heart! Alright, I sing it by heart!

[@lepoetress]

Sometimes, I try to remember how they did it on SHR to remember or recite something. It's funny, something will come up and the next thing you know, I'm referring to SHR and it all comes out right.

[@Freakazoid444]

Forty days and forty nights Didn't it rain, children Not a speck of land in sight Didn't it, didn't it rain But Noah built the ark so tight They sailed on, children And when at last the waters receded And the dove brought back the olive tree leaf He landed that ship near Mount Ararat And one of his children grabbed Noah's robe and said "Hey Dad, how many animals on this old ark anyway, huh?" Elementary, my dear, two time two is four Elementary, my dear, two time three is six Elementary, my dear, two time four is eight Elementary, my dear, two time five is ten Two times one is two, of course And it must occur to you You get an even number Every time you multiply by two Elementary, my dear, two time six is twelve Elementary, my dear, two time seven is fourteen Elementary, my dear, two times eight is sixteen Elementary, my dear, two times nine is eighteen Two times ten is twenty, eleven twice is twenty-two Double twelve that's twenty-four, thirteen twice is twenty-six Fourteen twice is twenty-eight, fifteen twice is thirty, now you build it up on thirty Sixteen twice is thirty-two, elementary Seventeen twice is thirty-four, elementary Eighteen twice is thirty-six, elementary Nineteen twice is thirty-eight, elementary Twenty twice is forty, and it must occur to you You can double any number All you do is multiply by two... Elementary, my dear, two time two is four. (Woo!) Elementary, my dear, two time three is six. (Yeah!) Elementary, my dear, two time four is eight. (Woop!) Elementary, my dear, two time five is ten. (Yeah!) Now, if you want to multiply two times 174 Or some big number like that Two times 174 equals two times 100 plus two times 70 plus two times 4 That's all So two times 174 equals 200 plus 140 plus 8 ... or 348 It's elementary! Elementary... elementary... Twice 32 is 64, elementary... Twice 33 is 66, elementary... Twice 34 is 68, elementary... Twice 35 is 70, elementary... Yeah, yes, it's elementary, yeah Now, what's two times 98? Aww! That's hard! No, it's very simple Two times 98 equals two times a hundred, minus two times two That's 200 minus four ... 196 Elementary Forty days and forty nights Didn't it rain, children?

[@joliecamerota9793]

I watched this when I was in elementary school

[@stormgirl09]

weird the stuff I didnt notice as a kid....like the racecars....didnt think cars existed back then....:P lol! Two MALE lions driving racecars off the ark.

[@MTLTV-eu4nv]

Common Core at 2:05

[@Tinlion09]

MTLTV1765 I mean, don’t knock it. It’s fast and correct, and a heck of a lot easier for most kids to remember. AND it’s teaching them how to break down difficult math problems into multiple easier steps, which is an essential skill in algebra and calculus.

[@r.l.t7936]

It ended on March 31, 2009.

[@snausages43]

Anyone know if they still show these in school? I know my parents said they watched it in school and I did as well. Most of it is timeless, one would think, but it might not be flashy enough for the new generation.

[@plushblueep]

“You get an even number every time you multiply by two” Just multiply .5 with 2 on your calculator.

[@jameslandau1411]

I just noticed their craft said "S. S. Ark" on it!

[@Uberskull]

Well, this is all well and good, but where is the song about the different levels of infinity?

[@thesoundconfectionary]

this is one of my top five favorite multiplication songs out of the 11. Very funny and something good to remember. Even if its religious based, I'm fine with it, seriously they are barely telling the story. its more number based so no biggie

[@jameslandau1411]

What ever happened to the numbers 21 twice thru 31 twice? It seems they're going straight from clothespinned skunks (20 twice is 40) to skateboarding turtles (32 twice is 64)!

[@legaleagle46]

James Landau Let me fill it in for you. Twice 21 = 42; twice 22 = 44; twice 23 = 46; twice 24 = 48; twice 25 = 50; twice 26 = 52; twice 27 = 54; twice 28 = 56; twice 29 = 58; twice 30 = 60; twice 31 = 62. It's elementary! :)

[@TigerWing95]

Why were there octopi on the ark? Octopi can swim! Oversight on the animators part or me overthinking an educational cartoon? You be the judge!

[@yosefdemby8792]

Just accept it. Or don't overthink it. The Ark has a propellar motor.

[@davidkonen7159]

If I added correctly (and I usually WOULD!), I get an answer of 420 as to the NUMBER of ANIMALS on the arrk

[@BettyJoBialofski]

"When at last the waters receded / and the dove brought back the olive tree branch / he landed that ship on Mt. Ararat" Umm, the waters diminished and the ark came to rest months BEFORE the raven and the dove were sent out. Look, get a simple story right.
