Regrann from @history - Schoolhouse Rock! began as a way to help the son of Madison Avenue advertiser David McCall with his homework. The story goes that his son was having trouble remembering the multiplication tables, but knew the lyrics to his favorite songs .And so, McCall called a copywriter friend of his named George Newall who was also a pianist and they enlisted the late composer Bob Dorough. The first song recorded was "Three Is a Magic Number", and the group compiled and released a children's record. Then someone suggested adding animated shorts to the songs, and Schoolhouse Rock! was born, debuting in 1973. Though the show technically ended before the 1980s, syndication meant that children have been singing their way to knowledge. What’s your favorite song from the show? #SchoolhouseRock #Imjustabill #conjunctionjunction #threeisamagicnumber
